Philadelphia Receives:
- Derrick Rose (PG)
- Doug McDermott or Taj Gibson (SF or PF/C)

Chicago Receives:
- Pick #16 (From Celtics)
- Pick #24 (From Sixers)
- 2017 Minnesota Pick (From Celtics)
- 2018 Sixers Second Rounder
- Amir Johnson (PF/C)
- Terry Rozier (PG)

Boston Receives:
- Jahlil Okafor (C)
- Robert Covington (SF)

First off, Derrick Rose is NOT worth trading the #3, only Bulls Fans will think that. Rose has one year left on his contract, and the Sixers have the ability to absorb Rose's salary, and have a huge upgrade at PG. The Celtics get Okafor who could grow into a 20/10 big man, and while his defense might be questionable, being around a group of hustling, defensive guards can help mask that a bit, and there's no denying we need a legit interior post-scorer and a guy who can rebound efficiently. Also the Sixers probably want to deal Okafor instead of Noels. Covington can help cover depth at the 3 which is thin behind Crowder.  More than anything, they are also valuable trade chips for the Celtics in the future as they have a few years of control left after next season as well. As a bonus, the Celtics could keep pick #3 as well. The Bulls could look to rebuild in a way but ultimately pick up assets and some players to try and build a team around Butler. The Bulls are reportedly and understandably more willing to trade Rose before they trade Butler, even though they won't get as much in value back as they would by trading Butler (for example, no #3 pick back).

What do you guys think of this deal? If anyone has any tweaks or changes that could make this deal better or more fair for all sides, then that would be nice.

Would taking out Covington and the 2018 Second Rounder make it better?

Rose and McDermott/Gibson gets that haul for Chicago???  Doesn't Rose pretty much have negative value at this point?

I just don't know if Chicago is ready for full rebuild with Butler still on the team.  If so, they would want the #3 (which as you astutely observed is a bit delusional).

We have some big assets. Crowder, #3, Isaiah Thomas, Bradley, and Smart are all big pieces.

You are not getting Jahlil Okafor, or Jimmy Butler, or Demarcus Cousins or whoever else is the flavor of the day, without giving up at least 1 of those pieces, and in most cases you are gonna have to give up multiple.

True, but they vary as follows (IMO):
For Cousins - multiple
For Butler - two
For Okafor - one

Id agree with that.

I also forgot to include Brooklyn 17. I imagine that pick has a good amount of value as well.

Why would Philly want Rose when he has 1 year left on his deal and there's no way he resigns with them

Ya our pick next year and the year after should have a lot of value. Also, I agree that Okafor should be worth just one of our assets like the #3. So if Okafor, who is on a rookie contract and has shown he can get better, only costs us 1 asset (#3) is it the best trade for value? He is pretty darn underrated and has the realistic potential to be great on defense and offense.
