Iggy doesn't really spread the floor like an Affalo can, but he's at least a guy who can create his own shot. That would be an incredible defensive team. I'm not sure the Bulls have the cap room for his contract though.
Deal Watson/Brewer/Pargo/Bogans/Lucas and 2 picks (28th and second rounder) and you get him. His contract won't matter, as long as Bird Rights are retained in the CBA (and the NBA will keep the MLE and Bird Rights, because otherwise it's two future cash-cow organizations, the Heat and Bulls, will be handicapped) then we can retain Rose. Now, we'd have an expensive starting 5, but a damn good one.
Deng and Iguodala can shut down the perimeter, letting Rose sneak around for his blocks/steals. Noah of course holds down the paint while Boozer stands there and yells. Sure, we lose the Bench Mob Backcourt, but with the 30th, draft a point guard who can play D. Deng or Iggy would be on the court at all times, same with Rose and Iguodala.
Bring Korver off the bench when you need threes, but Rose and Deng can each hit the three and who knows? Maybe Iggy flourishes as a fourth option and nails 3 pointers, like Deng when he went from 2nd to 3rd.
Taj and Asik stay, retain Butler, maybe bring back Bogans when he's cut and our team looks nice.
