The Derrick Rose Rule - the only player who qualifies for such an extension because of his accomplishments the first three seasons. And he'll only be 28 when the contract expires.Comment -
and he cant even read. lucky guyComment -
lol how do u know he cant readComment -
Guy can't shoot!!! OVERPAID!!!!!!!!Comment -
Youngest MVP ever.
His shooting from two seasons ago to last season improved 10000%. Kid is the best point guard in the league. Period."This is why my basketball intelligence is unmatched on this site. I'm sure there are better cappers but no one can tell you the strategies of most coaches before the game even starts "

Hard to win with small guys anymore in the NBA
Its a big mans game
Good move but Bulls need more than him to winComment -
his crossover moves are very injury prone thus, its a risky investment.Comment -
They had to cheat their ass off just to get him through freshman year sports mgmt courses in college (which basically consists of multiple choice like is this a football or a house) and got the University of Memphis sanctioned out the ass after he left. Dude isnt smart enough to dig ditches but he's a top 10 player in NBAComment -
Great player
Takes way too many shots
Championship teams dont depend on point guard to carry team scoringComment -
Bunch of haterz here. Rose will win rings. One of the hardest working most dedicated to winning guys in the league, with a coach to match.
He took too many shots because he needed help. Hamilton will take a lot of pressure of. Rose's scoring will be down, with assists up. 25pts/7ast last season will probably be closer to 22/10 this season.Comment -
don't see a problem with it. i mean, michael cuddyer is getting 10 million a year (are you f-ing kidding me!). i'm in the wrong line of work.Comment -
this is exactly what they wanted.
Young, elite player can get way more for resigning with thier own team as opposed to a sign and trade.
Open market deals and S&T will have a max value of about 62 Million.
The extra 30m Rose gets is the incentive that small market teams wanted to keep the star players from jumping to the big markets,
It also represents about 27 million less that the previous max deal.
(the argument about rose's elite status is a different issue)Comment -
Rip didn't look worthless when he got 13 points/6 assists last game he played. He was running the floor ahead of everyone like a gazelle, like he was 22 years old.Comment -
Wait...you're talking about preseason?
You do realize that the short season is an advantage for the younger guys right? Rip playing over 35 games has gotta be +200Comment -
Why laugh at preseason? It still showcases his ability. 13/6 is very nice, especially when all the Bulls need is a SG to get them a steady 6 points every night. That was the magic number for Keith Bogans last year. When Bogans got 6+ points the Bulls were nearly unbeatable. Record was something like 28-4 when Bogans had 6+ points.
As for Rip being gassed, he doesn't need to exert himself in the regular season. Thats what having depth is for. Ronnie Brewer can spell him, as can Kyle Korver and even the rookie Jimmy Butler.Comment -
Obviously you're a bulls fan
Comment -
Yes I am, but I still think I'm right
I'm not a pro but I'll fake-bet you Bulls win on Christmas, Rip averages more than 10 points a game, and he plays more than 35 games for the year.Comment -
Sounds good?
Comment -
19 million is so much money. It's ridiculous.
Only two words in the guy's vocabulary are probably 'gang' and 'bang'
crazy worldComment -
He's making an assumption because he came from a bad neighborhood. If he was a gang type he wouldn't be where he is today. Rose lives and breathes basketball. He's a pretty dull guy overall, but he has laser focus on winning. He's always been a winner on the court.Comment -
Rose can't get to the lane against Blake/Fisher. He isnt the bestComment
