Derrick Rose said earlier this week he doesn't harbor any ill will toward the Bulls, and the feeling appears to be mutual.

"The crowd should give them a good standing ovation," Gibson said, via the Chicago Tribune. "They gave Chicago a lot of blood, sweat and tears."

Bulls vice president of basketball operations John Paxson agrees.
