Is it time for Bull's fans to accept they won't have their MVP like Blazer fans did with Roy? How many times he's been hurt this season? Missed almost 3 years! I think it maybe time to cut the chord on this guy. He may come back and play way more years, but it seems any little thing gets into his head. He won't be that explosive player, always wondering if he's going to get hurt again.
He's signed through the 2016-17 season at a little over 20 mil each year. Jerry Reinsdorf is a notorious penny pincher and will not cut him.
Why cut him? They owe him the 40 million either way, and he's still effective when he does play (which admittedly, is not much). The only thing they gain from it is a useless roster space. What they should do though, is stop viewing him as the franchise. He obviously can't stay healthy, and it's probably mental as much as it's physical. Tonight the official diagnosis is "hamstring tightness". A guy like Kobe would just play through it, but clearly Rose is too concerned about his whole career going belly up to return.
It's not just roster space. It's turning the page. If he stays on the team, there will always be "rose is the face of the franchise"
Not really. All it takes is a mindshift within internal management. Maybe not with the fans, but they're not running the team anyways.
Dude is done as a top player in the NBA. He is basically going to need to rethink his whole style of play if he wants to help his team.
Whatever the case it sucks for Chicago fans. We as Blazer fans know all too well on the "wait and hope" with their star players. They are my eastern fav team... I hope one day this injury shit is over with him. I have big doubt though
Just hug them and say "I can relate, remember Greg Oden and Brandon Roy?" Reassure them that good does come from the ashes!
Both Rose and Westbrook won't have long careers. They go way too hard all the time. Guys like Lillard and Curry are going to be playing ball for years because they play the game in cruise control. Only accelerating when the opportunity is there.
Parker picks his spots like the last 2 I mentioned. John Wall is a crash and burn guy. He's still real young though.
