[QUOTE]If ever there was going to be the perfect, if overdue, moment for Derrick Rose to return to action for the Chicago Bulls, it would be a Game 7 in the NBA playoffs, with his team desperate for help, facing the Brooklyn Nets in a hostile building

Rose has not only lost respects from his fans, he will end up losing respect from his teammates. Too bad Thibs is defending him. He should call him out.

I'll wait before I completely turn on him. If Rose isn't on the court come game one of the 2013/2014 season and says he's still not ready then I'll turn on him.

Kobe played on an injured ankle, fked up fingers, you name it, sacraficing just to get to the 8th seed. Tonight's a big game for the Bulls and half of the team is ill or injured, and Rose, among the healthy one, is not going to play? :facepalm

Doesn't matter. In Kobe's mind he does have things to play for. He's out there doing his things. Roses own team is broken down and still battling. It just looks bad on Derricks part dude.

ya know, a good idea would be to have Kobe play for the Bulls. Just so he doesn't feel left out of the playoff picture. We know he can heal faster than the average man, even Rose.

Do we really need to announce Rose not playing for every game?
He's done for the season. Wait til next year fellas.
If I was a Bulls fan, I wouldn't want him back right now.
He might temporarily make the team worse while he and his teammates are adjusting to him playing when he hadn't been the whole season.

I don't understand how Rose is allowed to sit out when he's been medically cleared to return for over a month?
How can he just say, "Nah guys, I ain't ready yet" and still continue earning his contract money? I wish I could go to my boss and tell him "nah man I'll be back next year" after getting injured at work when I've been cleared by my doctor as physically able to return to work.

If I were a Bulls fans I would look at Iman Shumpert and be seriously pissed.
Look what Shumpert went through. Whispers of trades, etc. when he wasn't playing well. But he battled through it all, and is now giving the Knicks valuable minutes.
That's what Rose should have done. He's doing permanent damage to his personal brand. Really, really dumb.

"allowed to sit out"
Because the team says it's okay. DUH.
If a team decides a player isn't fulfilling the end of a contract, they have the option to take the legal steps nbecessary to not pay them. Teams usually don't financially punish a player for getting injured - especially a superstar who they'd like to have for many years to come.

I think after you will have become a top 25 employee at your position... and I mean top 25 in the world, you can actually tell your boss just that. They won't be happy but they'll give you half a year off. If you are top 25. That's the tough part.

No, you can't. And to be honest it's the opposite. In sports, because of how much they are paid and how many other people want to watch them play, they come back from injury faster, miss less games due to bereavement.
DRose has been cleared by doctors to play for two months now. There is zero excuses left for why he isn't playing in a playoff game. There were zero excuses for why he wasn't playing one month ago. He is, and has been, cleared by doctors.

No, you can't.
You can. If you are top 25 in the world and you've been 'officially' ill for a long period of time and then you tell your boss you need some extra time to recover, they won't fire you. But you have to be very hard to replace for this to be the case. A healthy Rose is hard to replace. I don't like his move (or lack thereof) but he can afford it for the time being.

You may be able to, but it does not mean that it is the right thing to do. He has been participating in 5 on 5 scrimmages since Feb 18. It has been over 2 months since he was medically cleared to play. Especially when his teammates are playing injured.

Wow, ignorance and rampant, kool-aid drinking fanboyism all in one post.
What is relevant is that both players suffered ACL injuries on the same day. After that, their jobs are to rehab and get back on the court when medically cleared.
More to the point, what other superstar would do this? Can you imagine Kobe at Rose's age waiting months after being cleared to step on the court? No, you can't, because it wouldn't happen.
The fact is, instead of doing something positive, like trying to play at least 10 minutes a game to give the fans and his teammates a lift, Rose is hurting both his future and the team's future in the arena of public perception.
Who can respect his toughness now? And if he's the team leader, what does that say about the Bulls? This situation has bad karma all over it.

If I was in D-Rose's position, I would've played once the doctor has cleared me to play. Maybe it's just me. Maybe because I'm not really in his position and I haven't experience tearing an ACL.

Let's assume he is scared. He may well be. And? If so? Why can he not be scared? It's human. It's fairly easy to be tough on the internet and in newspapers' columns, sitting in the couch and preaching what one would have done.
By the way, there IS such a thing as muscle memory.

No. That's called "retiring" or taking time in between jobs. You can't do that in any big time high paying job where you're actually still employed. And no other NBA or pro sports players do this. He's been told, by doctors, for two months, he can play. Yet he isn't playing. He's a *****.

This isn't rocket science. He could have eased his way back into the game by playing limited minutes. Had he done this back in Feb., everyone would understand, and by now he would probably be right back in form.
These lame excuses are just pathetic.

Bulls know they are going to be paying him anyways, they'd rather have him 100% in the future if just for the sake of not upsetting him. If he can come back 100% next season with the right attitude then it was worth all the coddling.

But you can't sit there and act like you know what Rose is going through or how his body feels. Rose knows his body better than anybody, including the doctor.
What the Bulls and Rose did wrong was not ending this weeks/months ago, they should've just came out and said he's done for the season PERIOD. It's all this speculation that makes the whole situation look bad.

No one is saying that it is. We all have fears about different things. However, he needs to get back in the floor, even for just limited minutes.
The conflicting statements he's giving aren't helping either. The fact is, he can't give a really good reason why he's not playing.
Its only a matter of time before the fanbase turns on him, and then it'll get ugly fast.

He may not even be able to give a good reason for himself. Sometimes, you simply feel something is not for you to do despite everyone else telling you the opposite. You have the right to differ -- and you have the right to be wrong. I think he was wrong from a PR standpoint. He was dumb. That's the biggest mistake here. But when was Rose sharp anyway?

Dude quit making crap up. The jobs that pay big money, the CEO's, the athletes, etc... They expect you to actually show up. You doing your job is their money. No one lets that crap slide. If you're the CEO of Fortune 500 company a leave of absence without a legit reason, and without a reasonable time table for your return, means you are being replaced. If the Bulls had any options that didn't hurt themselves long run they wouldn't be complacent about it. And most Top 25 NBA player (or any sport) don't pull this crap.
I mean your own point is countered by the very sport Rose is in, let alone the business world where you're just flat out wrong.

Is Rose fired? No. He could afford it. And CEOs doing it quite often, actually. They do give a timetable for their return though, that's true. But they can and sometimes do take some time off even when medically they are fine.
Rose was just dumb. He either should have said no a long time ago, or he should have returned to the bench, play 5 minutes a game and kinda 'reinjure' himself in the process. He would've been a hero then. Still wouldn't be playing. Dude is just not smart.
