Relax aj it was a joke all you need to worry about is the Cavs handing your team a new one and what that might allude come playoff time.

Put yourself in Rose's shoes for a minute, do you want to be a multi millionaire at 35 years old going to your son's graduation with sore knees?

Kobe decided to retire first so I guess that answers the question of this thread I made months ago. Interesting that he'd rather retire than put up Rose-like stats. I wonder what is going on in Rose's mind that Kobe is retiring when putting up pretty much identical stats meanwhile he hasn't told anyone in Chicago how much longer he intends to play?

Rose has been playing solid basketball lately.

19/3/3 on 48 percent shooting in his last 10.
