The Bulls are sending Derrick Rose, Justin Holiday and a 2017 2nd-round pick for Robin Lopez, Jerian Grant and Jose Calderon, per source.

Bulls Trade Derrick Rose To Knicks

I hope this is the beginning of their much needed re-build

Not much of an NBA guy and a fringe Bulls fan (due to my kids, I am a Celtics fan, I guess), this is a good move. Rose's act got tired. He has an expiring contract, it will free up major $$. They may get a little use out of what they are getting in return. I like Grant so hopefully he can contribute in Chicago.

Nice to see they are keeping Butler.

Rose is a weird guy. He was bizarre the entire time he was in Chicago, and never really seemed the same after his MVP year.

Too bad really. But his star burned bright and hot.
