They should look into trading both Pau Gasol and Derrick Rose. I like what Gasol has done with the Bulls but it looks like he is going to walk this summer. Gasol should be easy to trade by the deadline but Rose would be much tougher if not impossible. I don't think there will be any GM's who want to absorb his contract for how bad he has looked. Unfortunately I think we will be stuck with him. In a Gasol trade I'd like to see them go after a good young point guard but that is going to be hard to find on contending team that Gasol would go to. More than likely they would get a first round draft pick and a expiring contract. Maybe you could then package some of your pics to move up in the draft and get a good quality point guard that would fit in Hoibergs offense. I would love to see a player like Isiah Thomas on the bulls but I don't see that one ever happening.
Right now I think that Rose needs to go to the bench. He is playing like a below average point guard and killing the starting lineup. I would put Brooks in his place. He pushes the ball more and can shoot the 3. I would also insert Noah and Mirotic in the starting lineup over Gasol and Gibson. Noah is terrific passer and can push the ball up the court. I think the starting lineup of Brooks, Butler, McD, Mirotc, Noah would be the best lineup you could put out there with the style Holberg wants to play. You still have Noah and Butler to anchor the defense and plenty of shooters space the floor. Let Gasol, Gibson, and Rose come off the bench play the old Thibs way and hopefully beat up on back ups.
