I totally understand you not liking the trade Andrew (in real life). However, let my try to convert you.
In real life, Rose has been wanted out for awhile. He's been a cancer, a bad role model, a selfish player, a player who doesn't play D but yells at his teammates for not playing D. Then he takes the ball down the court and everyone knows that he's not going to pass. It sucks to give up Marshall, but you can't everything you want in a trade.
AD brings size to your frontcourt and a great mentor for Curry. Curry can't play defense for his life so AD can teach a few things (say what you want as Cartwright being a defensive center in his career, but he was the COACH not an assistant).
JYD brings more energy...imagine JYD and Tyson on the floor at the same time!!! That's all hustle in those players. In real life, Fizer will NOT cut it and Blount, as seen yesterday, can't shoot for beans...(man he bricks shots like no other).
However, there is a hidden bonus: the Bulls can now play Crawford at the 2 spot. He's a combo guard/street baller not really built to play the 1 in the NBA. HE doesn't have the instincts, the awareness, the experience, or the bball IQ to play 1. Nor the unselfishness...he's a score-first type guard and his better position is the 2, although he's a bit undersized.
This trade by Pax is more about chemistry, playing as a team, making sure the players fit the system, and adding defense, while subracting scoring. On the box score, you might not see a difference, but trust me, you will see a difference in the win column, espcially since Skiles has said that they will run (more reason to dump Rose!)

The only bad part about this trade in real life...is the Bulls lost Lonny Baxter. Believe it or not, but he's a secret guy there with some ability to show the NBA what he can do. Don't say undersized - Barkely was 6'5", Baxter's 6'6". Baxter plays 110%...just needs some post moves...
The only bad part about this trade in the game, is that I understand the level of fun will mostly drop a bit, since after all, it's only a game and most ppl don't get pleasure from seeing JYD hustle and AD play D, making up for Curry's mistakes in a game...in a video game, I think we love to pour it on
