Derek Rose: Quitting on the Bulls?

I don't think Orlando would go for that.

I'd love if that happened...as Gibson is a solid young player and IMO he played better than Boozer all season. Noah is a solid player but not a superstar. But is a great rebounder.

Maybe they can do a trade where they get their hands on K.Love maybe...and potential to get Richard Hamilton in a buyout...so oculd solve shooting guard issues and get a solid 15/10 guy who is young and on a good cap level.

If it was that or watching Dwight leave in FA, they'd go for it. And IMO it's as good as anything they'd be offered, particularly if Asik is included.

Hmmm true.

If they give Boozer, Noah & a 1st they may do it.

PG - Rose
SG - Hamilton
SF - Deng
PF - Gibson
C - Howard

That'd be pretty sick.

every year chicago fans would sit at home and hope for lebron and wade to get injured so they could win with this lineup

First of all OP should learn to spell... his name is Derrick Rose... DERRICK... he is lucky that Lebron goes by LBJ because its obvious that to many letters confuses him.

Secondly regular season MVP has nothing to do with finals performance you dud... this is why there is another MVP award to go, stick around you just may see your love interest get one.

Thirdly, yes Derrick Rose may have choked in this series (perhaps even the playoffs) and I have recently seen a lot of posts like this (from Bulls fans even) calling for him to be traded.

The kid is 22 years old!!! what the hell were any of us doing at 22?

Just leave it alone pal, we get it you get off on Lebron.

As to all the other posts in here as a Bulls fan I would love to have DH12 on this team... i dont think it will happen at all but it would be amazing.

Rose
JR Smith (MLE if its still applicable)
Deng
Gibson
Howard

Would be funny if the Bulls gave JR the midlevel after they traded him to the Nuggets (whilst he was still on his rookie contract) for a second round pick a few years back

I dont see it happening because the guy is to much of a loose cannon but if he could be held in a little he would be a hell of a weapon...

I'd actually thinking about it would like to see Hinrich brought back as the starting 2 and someone like JR off the bench.

I'd be a horrible GM though as I always fail to check numbers on deals haha

Huh? Hes thebest player on the team by a large margin, you want your start taking that shot, no ifs or buts. Unfortunately for Rose and the Bulls James did an outstanding job on him.

I agree with your login in theory. But if the best player on your team is heavily marked and can only get off an unlikely shot, he needs to find a team mate to make that shot.

His play at the end of that game showed he isn't a team player, and as such, I don't think he'll be the superstar of the future a lot of people expect.

I hope I'm wrong, I have a lot of mates who are from Chicago and I'd love to see a strong Bulls team again. But Rose personfies ego to me, and that usually is your undoing if you can't control it.

Its hard to make that pass when your options are so poor. Rose was one on one with Lebron, so all 4 other players were guarded. Who would you rather take that Noah? Boozer? Deng? Bogans?

Westbrook gets castrated for being a shoot first point guard, which is fair enough, because he has the two time leading point scorer standing next to him. Rose doesnt have this luxury, no one on his team can create their own shot. He has to score.

Sorry I really don't see the ego at all with Rose. Hes one of the most humble players in the league, on and off the court.

hmmm I have chased a better life...and won.

You however, I guess you chasing a better life would be a job at Macca's. Better than a dole check I guess. Congrat's.

I love interacting with people here too, even you 18th man...you provide at least some entertainment!

But its great again to see your schedule always clears up at convenient times! Is it your rostered week off at Macca's or something? Or did u get sacked for eating too many cones?

:lol: The 18th Man certainly doesn't toe the company line, he double special sauces his mates Big Macs. Take that Ronald!!!

Name one player on the Bulls you're giving the ball to that's going to make the clutch besides DRose. Live or die on Rose that's how it is with star players.

Ellis, #11 for Noah and Deng.

Why for Warriors:
Big man in the middle to shore up their defense, Curry can become the franchise player. Deng also adds defense and isn't that bad a scorer. The #11 is not as useful with the addition of Noah and Deng.

Curry
Williams/Wright (if he can play SG at a reasonable level)
Deng
Lee
Noah


Why for Bulls:
They get a legitimate #2 option next to Rose, while Asik can step in at C and grow into that spot. The #11 is a useful asset, whether traded or used. I see the Bulls destroying teams with Rose gaining a #2 option.

Noah was so disappointing the Heat series. Still, theres zero chance bulls give him and Deng up for Ellis and a draft pick.

I was thinking Ellis for Noah straight up, but I think Ellis would be worth a lot to the Bulls, so Warriors will be getting screwed. I will try to come up with something better.

Yeah I can't see the Bulls doing that either. I like Ellis, but the Bulls weren't even willing to give up Noah for Melo, so I can't see them wanting to give him up for Monta.

Lebron quit on the Heat? How you let Jason m'fkn Terry score 27 points in game 6 IN MIAMI when it's win or go home? How you let Jason m'fkn Terry get going on 3 successive games AFTER CALLING YOU OUT?! If Rose quit then Lebrick quit, couldn't get it done in the 4th quarter and let Jason m'fkn Terry get it done TWICE to give the Mavs a comeback BOTH GAMES the Heat were leading the series

Choke or quit?
