is there an opt-out for either derrick or the bulls after this year? i have no idea why the hell derrick would opt out (unless he could get more years where he's paid like knee-having-derrick as opposed to whatever player is left on the other side of this new injury) and the bulls.... man.... would they? look what they did for j-will.... i dont think they'd take the reputation hit throughout the league by dumping an injured derrick..... so really i think for better or worse you've got him for the length of the extension he signed a few years back, so he's got the boat... and even if he returns as a 9/6 guy who can only play 25-30/night he's still getting paid like the 10-11 MVP, so i think future generations of the rose family will be alright.

but the bulls gotta seize the possible chance to radically change this team cuz i mean, do they really think they had a chance? be the best you can be just in case lebron blows a knee? that's not a healthy way to go through life!

Chicago star Derrick Rose is still a couple of hours away from getting the MRI on his right knee in Los Angeles.

last time, the docs wiggled his knee and told everyone "we dont know yet"

this time, the docs wiggled his knee and told everyone "we dont know yet"

and, everyone is preparing for the worst, BECAUSE of the fact the docs arent talking. they KNOW its bad.

No. It's my understanding they always know right away by feeling for the connection with the ACL. But they do an MRI for the 1-10,000 chance that they're wrong.

yeah that's pretty much how i see it too. methinks if they were pretty sure it wasn't going to be the worst case scenario they would have told us last night after the game.... but they know the drill. they wanna milk these last few precious hours where the season isn't 100% over (as opposed to the usual 75% or whatever you rate normal operations in the LBJ championship era)

yup they always say stuff like "it was a minor sprain but he will have a precautionary mri tomorrow"

but this was "no comment". done. nothing. the look on derricks face also told the whole story. he knows hes done.

This is correct.

If it's torn, they need to trade Deng and anyone else they can dump. They need to tank as much as possible. This draft will be loaded, and they will be in need of a new franchise player. There is no way that if Rose has to have surgery again, that he would be a franchise player. It's sad, but true.

The east is so bad it is almost impossible to tank enough to get a decent draft pick while not taking back junk that will hinder the future salary cap.
