Derrick Rose

[ProfessaPackMan]

FWIW, Melo's situation is/was nowhere near the same as Lebron, CP3 or Duhwight's as far as how it started, just to clarify.

Rose, wears big man under pant.

rose is a winner. the anti-lebron. i really wish wade went to chicago to play with rose. if i were wade though, i woulda stayed in miami too. so many hot girls...

I would direct anyone still questioning whether Derrick will pull a LeBron or anybody like that to his press conference today. Maybe he has us all fooled and knows how to say the right things, but I find that highly unlikely. I think dude, like Kevin Durant is just wired differently than these other guys and him tucking tail and running to an easier situation just isn't in his DNA.

How could you not like Derrick Rose? After seeing that interview, I'll always be a fan of his (already was before that). All he wants to do is win. It's like the $94.8MM was just a footnote. The sky really is the limit for him.

Spoiler

Can we get a mod to fix the title. The misspelling just irks me.

Always good to see those guys still exist in sports. Jeter's, Nash's, Rose's...

Everyone signs their rookie extensions. LeBron, Melo, Paul, Bosh, Williams, and Howard did the same.

As others have said. We'll see how "humble" Rose is if his team fails to make it out of the east against Miami, NYC, and Brooklyn(if they get Howard) through the next 5 years. Same with Durant, though Durant's organization(And Rose's for that matter) has done what the former franchises of the above 6 players failed to do. Built him a young, excellent supporting cast.

I'm not mad at these players for leaving. It's business, just as it's business when owners trade or amnesty long time vets.(LO)
