Beal, who averaged 13.9 points last season, added that he would lose respect for a teammate who was in a similar situation to Rose.

“A little bit, yea I would,” Beal said. “Because I know the type of player he is, and the mentality and the competitiveness that he has, I think he would have gave it a go. I don’t know what was holding him back. I think he’s scared it’s probably going to happen again and he won’t be the same. But you’re never the same after an injury. But you just have to fight through it and do something else to be able to impact the game. I’m not sure what it is he has to do. I really can’t speak for him. …”

who gives a fuck what some random guy on the Wizards thinks ?

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

The fact is Rose is guaranteed 280M so frankly where is the real world motivation? If his contract was up, you know damn well his ass would have been on the court in March, but such was not the case.

IMO he let the city and his teammates down by not making the attempt to play and he is nothing more than a fucking coward.
