D Rose is like a politician right now, everyone is the home state knows what an idiot he is, but the world still likes him.

And I am sure someone will argue this with me, even though its not my theory, Rose has a bit of an asian look and thus he is #2 (I think) in China in shoe sales. You can argue the look, but it sure isnt his play that makes him a celeb in China, so it must be something, although ADIDAS did a nice job of promoting him. D Rose is almost an actor at this point...who can be a good bBall player.

We will wait to see if he can be "GREAT" as he still says he is.

I would like him to be great again so they can trade him next year.

The new King of Bulls basketball is Jimmy Butler.

Long live the King!

Darion Anderson begs to differ.

Rose is still a great player at his position when he plays (that's the caveat)...

Rose is still a marketable player because when he plays he puts up great numbers at his position.

I disagree. Let's talk numbers........his FG % was just 40.5% last season. His assist to turnover ratio is amongst the worst in the league for a starting point guard. He had just 251 assists to 161 turnovers. Not even a 2/1 ratio. Chris Paul has a 4.41 assist to turnover ratio. Jimmy Butler had 212 assists and just 93 turnovers, good for a 2.28 assist to turnover ratio. Good point guards like John Wall and Chris Paul, average 10 assists per game. Rose was less than 5 per game. 3 point shooting was supposed to really improve after Rose's time off as he worked on it a lot. He shot just 28% from the 3 point line. Also, he had just 36 steals. His defense is plain lousy. It never was a strength, but it is much worse now. You can fool yourself if you want to, into believing Rose is an elite player still. He is not. He is an undersized shooting guard, who doesn't shoot that well and plays awful defense.

Fact is he won mvp as the youngest player ever and lebron didnt have a bad year that year.... Rose didnt put up record numbers but he WAS unguardable. The window for greatness isnt closed even if its only cracked open at this point. We will never see "that guy" again, but we might easily get a guy who can produce more because he should play a lot smarter. He needs to make more shots tho.

You'll never see "that guy" again. He's got two problems... he's very, very full of himself and he is stupid as fuck and has bad people around him. He will go down as the worst waste of talent in NBA history. Like an NBA Prior.

Your assessment is accurate, though I wouldn't equate playing d with steals.

The dumbest thing to come out Rose's "I'm looking forward to free agency in two years" comments is Rose's presumption that the rest of the NBA will be clamoring for his services.


By that point he will be a 29 yr old point guard that has already had three surgeries performed on his knees. He is also an injury prone guy that makes a point of telling the world that he is not going to play hurt. Any general manager that even thinks about maxing him out is a damn fool. I wouldn't trust the guy with more than 10 mil a yr.

Definitely. If anybody thinks this cat is going to finish two full healthy seasons with Da Boo, they are nuts. He will not go another season without a major injury and/or surgery. I sincerely wish him and the Bulls luck but I am not optimistic.
