The free agency period hasn’t even started, yet that hasn’t stopped the Derrick Rose speculation to already rear its head. I guess it makes some modicum of sense: the Bulls need a point guard, and need veterans. Rose is an unrestricted free agent.
Plus, luring back the Chicago kid to appease the marketing development isn’t a concept foreign to John Paxson. But while Rose’s path to basketball redemption has been of note in Minnesota, that’s where it should stay. The prevailing story for next season should be the development of the core, not #TheReturn and the circus it will ensue.
