+ they could have gotten all picks instead of this corpse

Rose still has something in the tank. Only ups their status to a playoff birth.

True, but do you really want the 14th pick? You traded an above average C for an above average Pg. With the league going into small ball you don't want a 1 dimensional C. He's an OK post defender and ok rebounder + weak offensively. Rose afflalo melo kristaps blank. Solid could even put kris at the center. Major issue will be that rose sucks off ball since he doesn't have a reliable jumper and melo is ball dominant and iso heavy

What do you mean? Cavs went small too. They had lebron at PF most of the time with TT at C. Why do you think Kevin love was useless most of the series?
