RICHMOND, Calif. – The Chicago Bulls are expected to pursue Carmelo Anthony in free agency. They just shouldn't expect Derrick Rose to participate in the recruiting.

Rose told Yahoo Sports on Sunday that he doesn't plan to recruit Anthony – or any free agent, for that matter – even though he likes Anthony's game and thinks they can play alongside each other.

Rose's reason is simple: He said it's "not his job."

"My thing is if they want to come, they can come," Rose said.

Anthony averaged 27.4 points for the New York Knicks last season. Rose averaged 21.8 points and 7.9 assists during the 2011-12 season – the last before he injured his left knee in the 2012 playoffs. Rose respects Anthony's game and believes they can co-exist.

"I love Melo's game," Rose said. "He's a great player. Takes the game serious. He's consistent. He shoots the ball great. I love his heart.

"I can play with anybody, no matter who it is. I believe I can play with anyone if they step on the court with me."

As for when Rose will resume playing, he told Yahoo Sports he expects to be ready for the 2014-15 NBA season-opener, but has yet to decide if he will try out for USA Basketball's World Cup team this summer.


Rose has played in only 10 total games the past two seasons and 50 the past three because of various injuries, including two major knee surgeries. He said he has been taking part in five-on-five scrimmages for a while and his rehabilitation is going well. But Rose also said he is uncertain if he will participate in USA Basketball's training camp starting July 28 in Las Vegas.

"I still don't know yet," Rose told Yahoo Sports at the Drew Gooden Foundation Basketball Camp on Sunday. "If I'm feeling right and the time is right
, for sure I will go out there. My body is responding good, but you never know.

While it's obviously not his job to recruit Melo, it's definitely not a good look that he:

1) said he's indifferent about a possible Carmelo signing
2) implied that he doesn't trust his knee


It's well-known that Noah's been trying to sway Carmelo to go, so I wonder how he feels about the comments

He doesn't have to kiss anyone's ass. He could simply show interest in the acquisition & move on. The quote shows a level of indifference, which could rub Melo the wrong way

If Melo is "rubbed the wrong way" by those comments then so be it.... Rose said he'd be GLAD to play with him, and that he loved his game... Melo knows where the fukk he wants to go any damn way. Rose ain't swaying that by calling his phone and blowing smoke.
