Did the rose set us back?

[Alpha Male]

The bulls banked everything on roses eventual return that never materialized. A rebuild was necessary much earlier. Plus roses refusal to recruit also hurt the bulls.

I meant to say the rose era

 

[ZOMBIE@CTESPN]

cant blame the injuries on him shit happens

but he alienated players to come here more so then encouraging them to come here. He didnt recruit and that held us back. His family meddling with the team didnt help either.

Every team that drafts a guy1-3 figures to build the rest of the roster around him. If he makes it they look great and if he doesn't they can't just retool on the fly or even quickly. The Bulls took a bigger hit when Curry and Chandler didn't develop, they had so much invested in them look how long it took to recover.

Rose is a weird guy. Let the Knicks deal with him.

 

[PolarBear]

Maybe.

But he also revived the Bulls and Chicago basketball so let's not just disrespect him and everything he did do here. His injuries were freak and there was nothing he could do about them.

For real. The man made the bulls relevant again in Chicago. Without him and Thibs, the Bulls would still be a middling team with little representation nationally.

Gar/Pax set us back. Not Rose.

Yeah but i honestly thought the bulls would suck as long as krause was still the gm. Looks like we have jerry krause part 2 with gar pax. Well krause built 6 championship teams so I can give him a pass but what about garpax?

Rose drops 50 against the Bulls next year and does the Jordan shrug of the shoulders to the fans

 

[Alpha Male]

I'd still take the Derrick Rose Era over the Jerry Krause/Tim Floyd Era.

I would say post jordan krause era. The pre 98 krause era was solid.

So you think we should have pulled a Lakers type organizational move and given him 25m/year for what he did for Chicago in the short past a-la Kobe cause that sure worked for them moving forward yet Rose didn't help us win any championships.

No. I just think that with all the shit derrick put us through, it's easy to forget how enjoyable it was to have him on the bulls.

 

[ClydeLee]

Set them back from what? THe great future the Gordon-Deng era was setting up to be?

 

[DirtyDutchDiggler]

I enjoyed the Rose era. Loved watching him play and though he could be a future HOF. The injuries screwed all of that up and I think he was the one that made it clear he felt he was a max played and I think he was a little jealous of the success Jimmy gained while he was injured. Not sure he was going to come back for what the Bulls were going to offer him. It's sad but it is a business. Championships are hard to come by and even now so in the Lebron era. Looking towards the future is the best we can do right now.

That's how I feel. Listening to him being interviewed over the years was depressing.

Rose's injury set it back. Not his fault. I still believe if he didn't get hurt, the Bulls probably win the ECF that year.
