Can You Win a Title With Derrick Rose As Your Best Player

[MMM]

I feel Chicago has in place the necessary foundation for an elite guard to win as the best player. However, I don't think they'll be in contention this season because it might be too much to ask for a player to jump right back into it and go through the rigours of a post season.

[Rysio]

of course he can. in this weak era of basketball where all the greats have either retired or are way past their prime this is the time for these fake superstars to get their rings count. it started last year with lebron and looks like it will continue this year.

[HylianNightmare]

If rose comes back and plays like he did last year and gels with the team,I ****ing hope so

[Go Getter]

Of course....but

This current roster need a bit more scoring. I'd like us to get a complimentary scorer at the 2.


Imo a team with a small top player needs a good second scorer. It is too much stress/work for a guy that small to score all the time...

[97 bulls]

He most definitely can. I see him as being another Isiah Thomas. But the Bulls need another player capable of creating his own shot. The FO needs to assembke that team similar to the Bad Boy Pistons of the late 80s

[Jasper]

Say he comes back to play like he did pre-injury. Do you feel you can win a title with him as your best player?

NO

that is why they were trying to recruit Lebron and or D-Wade(.)

GTFO. Then James must not be good enough either right?

[guy]

Yes. Just cause something hasn't happened i.e. a player like Derrick Rose winning a title as the best player doesn't mean it can't happen. Its silly logic when we only have about 60 years of history to go by, not to mention certain players dominating for multiple years. Its not like the NBA has this relatively huge history. Before Magic, Bird, and Jordan no one like them had won before. Shit, just two years ago Dirk won, and there was no one like him before.

d rose will shut the miami heats window faster than pauk would nut with lebrons dick in his ass.

If they could've gotten Jason Kidd instead of Nate Rob, I think that could've put them over the top. His leadership and error-free basketball is exactly what they need imo. Rose would still be the clear-cut #1 option but with a lot less pressure throughout the game. He would still have a bunch of isos, but now have that second option of playing like Wade to conserve energy until the 4th quarter. So basically, Rose would play shooting guard on offense and point guard on defense.

Hinrich and Rip can come off the bench and do what they do. A bench of

Hinrich
Hamilton
Butler
Gibson
Mohammed

Provides just enough scoring and defense...or at least enough defense to keep the game close. If they could've kept Asik, that would've been the icing on the cake. I like their squad as it is though, but I don't think they will win with it. They're missing one player...maybe if they had Bosh instead of Boozer?

[Skywalker]

yes

Bulls are gonna be a PROBLEM this year

[arifgokcen]

Most of the dont realize is as good as bulls is with 100% rose.Their shot at banner is not that much better than denver's.They just dont have the firepower to win it all.Assuming they get past miami(which i highly doubt)they would probably go against OKC.100% is not that much better than rose.Durant is much better than 100% rose.They just cant compete against them on the offensive end.They might take 2 games because of their rebounding and defense.Note OKC is one of the best rebounding teams as well.

[stephanieg]

No.

Luckily for the Bulls, he's not, so they don't have to run that experiment.

[Chicago Brawls]

You couldn't win the title with Dirk Nowitzki as your best player for like 10 years.

And then, you could.

[nathanjizzle]

you couldnt win with lebron as your best player for 7 years

and rose has only played 3 healthy seasons
