[QUOTE="IlliniOX08, post: 1219084, member: 227584"] Yep, not bad at all. People still think Rose is the 2010-2011 version of himself and he's just not. Multiple knee injuries have killed his burst and he played atrocious defense last year. He's always been a sub-par shooter and he will likely age much quicker as a result of injuries. His name recognition and the illusion of what he once was will command too much $ for what he's actually worth on the court now and in the future. Combine that with the fact that as long as he is in Chicago, he's going to have the hometown thing hanging on the teams (and his) shoulders. Best to trade and get a good defending center on a bargain contract instead of letting Derrick walk in a year for nothing. On top of that they get a second year 6'5" first round draft pick PG. If the Bulls are going to re-build and clear cap room this was a good first step. [/QUOTE]
