Have You Lost Respect For Derrick Rose?

[Kurosawa0]

Are you kidding me? The dude was cleared to play months ago. He says he's not "mentally ready"? Get da fck outta here.

Either he's a mental midget or he's a not so humble diva letting the FO know his pissed off about them cutting salary.

I think it's 50/50. I think Rose doesn't feel 100% confident and he's not happy about the team that he's got to come back to. Can't blame him on either counts.

[supe12sta12z]

Not remotely. This isn't a contending year for the Bulls anyway. If he was coming back to a team with a real shot to get to the Finals then I think Rose should come back. Why risk anything on a shot at being a pain in the ass out in the second round?

How do you know if you don't compete? Did you know that the Pistons would take out the Lakers 4-1 in 2004?

Exactly. I'm sick of hearing it too. Moreover, how the **** do you know the Bulls are gonna compete next year? Who told you that? The pope?

[TheGreatDeraj]

Simple question. I don't think I need to really explain.

You serious?

Because this Bulls team is weaker than the one that Miami beat in 2011. Honestly, it's not just Miami. I'm not sure the Bulls with Rose would beat Indy. Let alone OKC, Denver or San Antonio in the Finals.

I don't get why fans are always so protective of teams, but then want to crap on players.

It's like when LeBron left Cleveland. The fans should've been furious that the Cavs lost them a once in a generation talent.

Bulls fans should be angry that the Chicago front office isn't being extremely proactive in trying to build around it's best player since Jordan.

Meanwhile, Rondo is already back on the court taking shots with the team. 2 months after his ACL tear.

Kid is insane. I love it.

Rose fans can sugarcoat it all they want, but I'd be furious if my franchise player who has been cleared for MONTHS just refused to play.

[nathanjizzle]

why is OP crying for no reason.

Well, then you're lucky you're a bandwagon fan who doesn't belong to any franchise.

[Mr. Incredible]

Not at all. It's his career and he get's the right to decide what he wants and does not want to do.

I feel for the kid honestly. Born & raised in Chicago and has all the pressure in the world to deliver for that city. I miss watching him play and I can't wait to see him play again, especially against the Heat. Always were great games to watch.
