actually, Bosh got the Max, and Wade is in his 8th-9th year and has already been making $35M + for the past 10 years (with endorsements)

Why dont u tell your billionaire owner to stop being cheap instead of tellin a young nikka from the hood who FEEDS a lot of people to take a paycut.

I'm sayin. this cat wants drose to take paycuts when he only has a short window to make his money. meanwhile reinsdorf been gettin that bread since reagan was in office and I dont see him taking paycuts.

superstars ain't sposed to take paycuts due to the simple law of supply and demand in the nba. cats like hinrich and should be taking paycuts as they are easily replaceable.

Im still betting Im right, ya ll overreacting heavy

look, we all hope you are right. I would love to be on the receiving end of an "I told you so" from you regarding his return.

Bulls have the 8th highest payroll in the nba and will be 1 of 12 teams to pay the luxury taxes this year and reinsdorf paid MJ 30 and 33 million dollars a season his last 2 years on the bulls and the white sox had a top 7-8 payroll a few years ago.The owner aint THAT cheap they just have a bunch of terrible contracts they gave to role players and boozers under achieving ass

Rose has a 200 million dollar contract with Adidas and nikkas complaining a suggestion that he restructures a deal that could help the team get more talent to win.Like I said you nikkas are rose groupies he has more than enough dough to "Feed" whoever da fukk he has to feed

It bothers me somewhat, that Rose would be so pessimistic about his return, and the way he is handling it speaks negatively to his character either way. I am thinking one of two things and maybe you Bulls fans can correct me if I misstep on the info or you may have some inside track.

1. His ACL isn't healing like it should, he's tried some intense training and he's just not moving like he used to. In which case, he needs to be upfront about that, because that being the case, he needs to say that. I'm not ok with a MAX PLAYER being ok with missing the rest of the year, that's disturbing. Maybe he needs to work on his jumpshot more and contribute that way. Learn from guys like Steve Nash who are effective without necessarily being overly athletic.

2. D-Rose is holding his team by the balls knowing good and well that they will wait for him to come back and he wants to gauge the temperature of the team as it is to see if that is the place for him long term or whether or not he should take his talents to South Beach or LA or a some other city messed up as that may sound

Either way, this isn't cool, and if I'm the organization I would press him more than they are, though this could change in the future.

Its over brehs... he's not coming back

u missed the total pooint of my post regarding sittin noah and deng until rose returns

it wasnt bout tankin it was watts the pooint of playin deng and noah to breakin point before rose comes back ??

why does that make sense if rose is to come back and these guys are done n dusted fo the season when rose returns ..

so now rose has to carry the team without the 2 other players which makes us contenders

 

[El Jefe]

I say he should sit out. This roster has no shot of winning a title this year and thibs is going to run Rose right into the ground as soon as he suits up. Rose must have saw Noah out there for 38 mins on that plantar and was like I would like to see guys like Boozer and Deng step with Rose gone so their trade value increases

i done said that a few pages baaak braaah - salute !!!

In my guesstimation

Rose was seeing the anticipation of his return and wants to live up to expectations. I do believe the reports that his camp has a issue with the bulls roster is legit. Pax stepping out in a attempt to difuse the situation validates that.

I don't believe rose trying to find his way out. I think his camp applying the pressure. Rose wants to be here, but I think his people has finally gotten to him.

Rose wants to work out and be at his best.... like i said this months ago there is no point him comin back before he back at 100 percent it doesnt do him or his confidence any good to go thru what shump or rubio have endured..

he may as well get as close to where he needs to be in practices before doin so

and now with the current prediciment of noahs foot .. dengs injuries .. kirks injuries .. why would he come back now

get the rust off while tryin 2 carry a team which is breakin down in front of his very eyes ????? how does that even seem like a valid or good a idea with thibs as a coach ???

rose aint stoopid and neither is his managment .. as someone else said there is no time managment with thibs .. .. rose and his team aint riskin it and he wants 2 b at a level he is comfortable with before he does so why all the drama ???

we aint playin fo a ship this year we tryin 2 get this right for the next decade .. the reporters need to leave pooh alone n do him .. the man knows whats right fo him

f all us sideline mfz includin myself sittin round actin like we can make claim on watts best fo rose n his future

i love rose but it's in his nature to keep going hard in games- if he comes back this year, he's gonna go hard- the knee might not be good enough, but if he's where he needs to be mentally (that's great) then he should wait. it might be better for him, to just sit out the year, strengthen the leg some then return next season.

i don't believe he's putting them over the hump as great as he is- he could get them to miami but they probably still would fall to them even if he was healthy as they are constructed now. they can make it interesting defensively but would still struggle to score vs. miami. thibs sometimes mishandles those rotations, and didn't adjust to the heat trapping rose in 2011

he has a lot of years to be great, don't rush back for one year.

 

[Marvel]

Dude doesn't sound confident about coming back yet. It is better that he sits some more. I think he needs at least 20 games with the team to acclimate before playoffs.

DRose and Durant are both #tiredofbeinghumble
