    Now watch them run the triangle and try to make DRose a jump shooter. Awful for both sides. Square hole and round peg stupid

    yeah neither Rose or Butler can shoot. That was a huge problem for the Bulls. They both need the ball in their hands for a large part of the possession to score.

    it might be a trade that can work out for both sides. I know Bulls nation is already very very happy

    Grant could be a good player, he came on late last year.
    Lopez is serviceable and given contracts going forward, his deal is not bad.
    Bulls had to unload Rose.
    Knicks will probably sign Noah.

    Rose, Melo and Noah. They get to see if it can work. Probably a dumpster fire.

    Change of venue and motivation might be the spark he needs? Hard to believe he would be washed up @27!

    its more mental than physical

    but definitely physical as well.

    he had the 300 million dollar body and 5 cent brain

    now its like 3 million dollar body and 1 cent brain

    He just doesn't have the lift anymore. Hard to imagine that's going to change. He's still fast. But he gets blocked so easily because he drives as if he had the lift he once had.

    Nah. I admit I hung on to Rose belief for too long, but I had given up in the middle of last season. Time to move on. I still think some of the criticism was unfair, but it was time to move on.

    Fun fact. Rose's shots were actually blocked more often before his injury. In his MVP season Rose was blocked on 10% of his field goal attempts where as in the last year he was only blocked on 7%

    I take it you didn't follow the ACB finals. WH didn't get on the floor for Mardid, so no he's not a starting centre in the NBA. Bright future as a PF maybe. Backup PF for now.

    They did draft Butler. And Taj. Both as late first rounders.

    I don't know if that would work - Rubio and Levine run the show - not sure they need a 7 foot guy at the top of the key? KAT is down low - don't see twin towers working. Don't get me wrong I like Noah - love watching him play - where would he fit in on offense?

    Afflalo opted out ohis contract and so did Derrick Williams. 30 million free cap space. The Derrick Rose move is superb. He will be motivated and the talent is still there and better than any Knicks PG

    It's not the amount of games, it's the relegation of mpg that scares me as a long suffering fan.

    PJ has two agendas: cap space in '17 and appeasing anthony/ dolan/ fans. I think they'll go after Mozgov now.

    Yes, but like Griffin in the NFL, haters never acknowledge that these players were never the same after their major injuries, they just say they suck.

    Griffin's stock certainly went down because of injury, but not sure I'm putting him in that category. He really only had his one rookie season. Not enough to say what might have been.

    Injuries have cut short successful careers of countless athletes. Mark Prior is a good example.
