After he gave the USA Today the "Rehab story", he gave the local guys some interviews last night and from what he said, doesnt sound like he is coming back this year.

I think KC Johnson asked him if he can dunk and he said NO.

If the purpose of these interviews was to bring down the hype of a Rose potential return, they sure did it!

it's all a smokescreen

he'll be back next week vs. the Heat

steak
dinner
BOOM

It might be better if he waits till next season. That way he can watch Adrian Peterson for another year.

he can dunk, just not in stride. then he goes on to say he has been working on his shooting but thats not the type of player he is. he says he is a driver, and thats what he will always be.


so thats that, folks. look forward to 2016 because thats our only hope now. derrik rose is a role player

1 thing for sure.....I wish the media would talk to the person that took his SAT's to get into Memphis....cause Rose is brutal

I'm going to bounce from the spot for awhile but I will be back at some point to argue with you about this hoops stuff again. Playoffs have been great this season. See ya up the road.

I'm out.

I called it!

He has improved from his rookie year, but I think we got the next Harold Baines on our hands.

I am sure the people at Adidas will develop a more vivid personality for the ads, but I dont think D Rose will be doing any play by play in his future. Which is fine. Just hoop.

Maybe when he is older and retired, he might come out of his shell...and talk a little more...even Scottie did...

Is it too late to amnesty him? If he doesn't come back at some point this season I would be very disappointed. We are at almost 10 months. Currently it is a month more than Adrian's Peterson time between surgery and his return to playing.

I feel that Derrick should have kept his mouth shut and not talked to reporters. If he's not going to play I don't want to hear from him. I would be ticked if I was involved with the Bulls and I thought that Adidas was calling the shots. Adidas is really striking out with signing Dwight Howard and then Rose who tears up his knee.

Jokes on you, SATs aren't required for entrance into the University of Memphis.

He better fucking play. and he needs to develop that short Rod Strickland jumper and cut waaaaay down on driving to the hole. he needs to let the game come to him a little more and Thibs needs to have another player run some sets besides Derrick. He needs to slow the game down WHILE PLAYING THIS YEAR. If he can go harder in the playoffs than do it. If he cant then so what. More rehab. What else does he have to do this summer? Why concede a whole fucking season? This story bugs me.

Tape it up, take two aspirin and get back on the court.

I get what you're saying Mr. B, but I disagree. I always assumed this would be a lost season, especially with the moves the Bulls made last summer (Bellinelli, Radmanovic, Nazr, Nate, Kirk). Plus health wise, they appear to be coming apart at the seams right now anyway. The Bulls roster isn't set up to win anything this year with or without Rose, so he might as well just sit until he's fully comfortable.

I know, but there are still people clinging to the hope of that being this season. My point is, this is a lost season...there's no reason for him to come back this year.

What makes next year anymore optimistic?

I think having Derrick Rose able to start from the beginning of a season with a full training camp serves the team better than having him jump onboard in March or April trying to play himself back into shape on the fly.

I don't know. I don't think there is much of a difference if he is fully healthy. I would consider what he has been doing the past two months similar to a training camp. Slowly getting himself back into playing shape.

I would guess he might be tentative the first several times he takes the court. I'd like to see him to play this year to help his psyche going into next year.

Adrian Peterson has set an unrealistic bar for acl tears. Just because he came back in 6 months doesnt mean everyone can. These acl injury recoveries typically still last 8-12 months. I dont expect 6months to be the new standard

Since before the season started i argued with my friends that i dont mind Rose sitting out the season and making sure that knee if fully healed and functional. Even though the team is playing much better than expected this is a throw away season. Whether Rose comes back or not the Bulls arent doing anything in the playoffs.
As the now the team looks to be slowing down some and i think its time for Thibbs to take his foot off the pedal and start resting Deng and Jo and give the bench guys the majority of playing time. Plantar is sometime that will not go away without any rest and i dont even know what the situation with Lu's wrist is. Is surgery still an option or what? Get it fixed and come back strong next season.

The thought of him not coming back till next season because of Adidas is enough to make me wish the Bulls could trade him.

Specifically the trade part, but the whole post just made no sense.

Consider the source.

Why not trade him if Adidas is more important to him than the Bulls?

You're telling me it's been almost 10 months and he can't play 10 minutes coming off the bench?

You don't want him playing 10 minutes off the bench.

You don't think he's going to come back and play 40 minutes, do you?
