    Has learned the ESPN.com.br , the Miami Heat is not the only one interested in shooting guard, as the Chicago Bulls would also have a greater interest in having even the Brazilian 31 years.

    Also according to the calculation of ESPN.com.br , Brazilian entrepreneurs, Jeff Schwartz and Sam Goldfeder, had a meeting with Tim Thibodeau, coach of the team in Chicago on Monday. Thibodeau's assistant in American basketball team.

    The coach of the Bulls used the friendly match between Brazil and the United States, the United Center in Chicago, to talk with the Brazilian player who has struggled with injury and appeared in just 20 games last season for the Phoenix Suns.

    Bulls general manager Gar Forman has often come into contact with the staff of the shooting guard of 31 years.

    Barbosa looked good in the Brazil game. He would be a better fit than Moore.

    Thoughts?

    At this stage in his career, he's probably worse than Kirk.

    Like Kirk, near bottom of the league in ability.

    3/4 of the photos of him on google are him dribbling. Of the remaining 1/4, the ones where he's actually shooting, he is unguarded for about 3/4 of those. They dare him to shoot.

    He simply hasn't been a very good player since 2006-07. How many years ago was that? 8?

    I thought he played rather well for Brazil. So, why not? More depth.

    The fact that Derrick missed tonight's game and the Bulls are in the hunt for another PG tells me maybe they're planning on him missing a lot of time.

    I read he rested two days due to knee soreness. I don't like the sound of that.

    Obviously it's hard to say how much should be read into this. But the fact that he's having to take time off after his first game is a little disturbing.

    Rose may very well miss back to backs, and not play against weaker teams. It may take him quite some time to be well enough to play every day.

    It is concerning but I am glad they are taking it better safe than sorry.

    I would be fine with this if it meant he was in good shape for the playoffs. If the season goes as planned we're going to play 100+ games.

    Given the responsibilities he'll have to carry it'd be silly to think he won't need consistent breaks given his injury history.

    It's really hard to read into him taking a few days off. Could be overly cautious; could legitimately be an issue.

    If he plays 65 games this year, it's a step in the right direction.
