Rose is coming into a season healthy and in a contract year. If he wants another good contract he has to play well. With Melo and Porzingis there and the chance of a big (Gasol, Noah or Howard) he could put up good numbers. Granted they're all old besides porzingis. Bulls definitely got better side of the deal as Lopez is locked into a reasonable contract with cap going up.
Well all of that is possible, but based on what we saw from Rose last year (while healthy) I believe he's going to hurt the knicks more then help. Calderon on the other hand is still capable of helping a team as a role player. Rose may get 20 ppg next year and still be worse then Calderon in a vacuum. That being said Gasol leaving the bulls would be absolutely terrible for them.
