Without Rose, the Bulls are first round exit material.......again.

Yeah, then they can go join the Cavs who never even got close.

This is all being orchestrated by the Bulls. They traded away a solid bench in the offseason. They're contemplating trading away arguably the best player on their team right now, aside from Rose (Boozer). And now they're basically shutting down Rose for the year. This is all in attempt to land a considerably high draft pick and pair Rose with a solid second player to compete for next year. They know they don't stand a chance this year, with or without Rose playing.

Be Quick, But Don't Hurry, Bro.

Their second best player is Noah, not Boozer, and the plan was always for next year smart one.

Wanna see him win a ring before Melo!

So then why is Boozer playing like the best and Noah isn't? Noah started off the year in a promising fashion and then fell off. Boozer is the only positive this year aside from Luol Deng, who never gets his dues. Lets hear your response to this one, Chitown's Disgrace.

Maybe if they had the 5th worst record in the East and not the 5th best. Thibs has these guys in every game, they are not playing for a high draft pick. The only thing high is you, bub.

Did I say that they're not playing well right now, bub? And 5th best in the East is nothing to be proud of, bub. Once they further dismantle their team by trading Boozer, then they'll have all but given up on the season, bub. And I don't don't smoke, bub.

Lol, first off, what are you fourteen? Chitown's Disgrace? Grow some damn chest hair bro. Second, Noah is the most consistent, and intangible player we have. There's a reason people much smarter than you would get rid of him way before they got rid of Noah. Now why don't you go back and read a comic book. Adults are talking now.

There's nothing to be gained by Rose trying to come back before he's ready. As soon as he re-injures himself, the talk of "injury prone" will start. If he doesn't feel as though he's 100%, he probably isn't.

Exactly. Rushing back from injuries last year (ankle/hamstring) may have contributed to him tearing his knee up. He should take his time and come back when he is comfortable. He means too much to the Bulls to rush this process.
