I think it was the 20,000,000 part that prevented a return. Rose was less than worthless...hence you see us taking on their garbage, bad contracts, and sending them a draft pick.
I guess we should be happy we got something with some potential in return, and dumped an uncompetitive player preventing our franchise from moving forward.
I'm sure all teams have their scouts and info on the situation...I doubt you could have gotten anything for him.
The only guy willing to take any chance of even having that cancer in the locker room is a fucking Buddhist who probably thinks he can fix Rose mentally. Thats the trick here. Rose is worthless to just about everyone except a zen master who can do some mental karate and get this boy to play.
So there is the rub...whatever he becomes we can't believe he would have here, he needed a therapist...he got one. Its his only hope.
