It should be noted that the infamous bulls trainer who cleared a player to play on a broken leg left this offseason. Some of this may have been poor information from training staff to coaches. From what I've heard players like the woman who helped rose with rehab and was hired as a consultant. Hopefully Bulls find their Herm.

Derrick is a game time decision tonight now.

It's just regular soreness. To be expected

Heard that last year.

Derrick Rose will NOT play tonight for Team USA against the DR in New York: http://bit.ly/1BDIX9O (@CSNBullsInsider)

Kevin Durant reportedly offered a 10-year deal worth $265 million (plus equity) from Under Armour. Sonics sold in '06 for $350 million.

That is a bummer but rather he gets through these type of challenges now, during the off-season.

Rose says "It's just body fatigue." Not the knees? "No, not the knees. No, no, no, no. You don't got to worry about that."

Da-yum.

By the way...there are many reasons I'd be worried about Rose but him sitting out this game, isn't one of them. I'm much more concerned about some form of a repeat injury.

I mean, this is the exact reason I wanted him playing on Team USA.

Bingo. There is going to be real physical pain when you haven't really played at this level for three years.

Ditto

Rose is going to play the next game vs Puerto Rico

 

 

supposedly

Is that on Friday or Saturday?

Friday.

So the Wolves are actually getting Wiggins, Bennett and Thaddeus Young, not trading Bennett for young. That's a pretty awesome haul.

How are they getting Young?

 

Definitely a nice load for Felix...I mean Minn.

Considering they couldn't keep Love anyway, that is a best case scenario for Minny.

The Miami 1st round draft pick via Cleveland.

Is it protected? It has a chance to be a high pick if not.

I believe there is some protection on it, but i'm not certain. I also wouldn't expect it to be a high pick. We are talking about the east here and Bosh / Wade / Deng plus the rest of the roster should be able to secure a playoff spot.

Yeah, true, in east, Bosh, Deng and 1/2 of Wade should be ample to be mediocre.

It is top 10 protected. The Heat will be better than that so the 76ers will get the pick but I'd guess it will probably be right around the 20th pick.
