Those two cannot exist together. It was a bad idea from the start. Just a bad trade. JC is NOT a pg and the team will try to do whatever they can to secure Rose if he comes out. Think Chris Paul type potential. If they miss on Rose and manage to be able to get Beasley, then the front line is set. Beasley, along with Lee, make up for Curry's lack of board work, and his perimeter game opens up the spaces for Curry to post and Lee to cut. They will still need a PG, and it will have to be a decent one (Arroyo?). If Beasley comes, Balkman or Chandler will have to go. If Rose is drafted, some of our guards will go. Collins might be the first, but surely Marbury is done here. We'll still need scoring, rebounding SF to match with Lee and Curry, or the front court will have to be changed up. There is enough cash and talent to get us the 2 picks we need. In a perfect world, we'd get the first pick, try to get Seattle's first pick by way of either JC and or Nate plus a future 1st pick (they could use a guy like JC since they have no real SG, I know Durant plays there but he fits better as a 3). If they could pry that pick from the sonics, it could end up as the #2 or top 5, at least. They could try to move up using that as bait and adding players. A long convoluted way of saying I'd kill to have Rose and Beasly. BTW, add Patrick Ewing Jr.....he has exactly what we need. He could replace either Chandler or Balkman or both if we got Beasley. I think he's a 2nd rounder.

I think "rebuilding" all depends on who is brought in and part of me still really thinks that Dolan won't bring in someone willing to necessarily do that. There hasn't been any indication of this from Dolan's past hirings or anything recently.
I almost want to keep Isiah around until after the draft simply because I think there is no way that he could botch our pick. I feel confident that Derrick Rose would be a Knick with Isiah in charge. Rose is exactly the kind of player we need and definitely would be pursued by Isiah who loves Chicago players.
