Define irony...... wait until Rose can finally play in the playoffs, and trade him so he can't participate. :smh:

Does the NBA allow teams to restructure contracts with players like the NFL does?

No, this is what needs to change. Rose's contract strapped the Bulls for 3 years. The new CBA should take this into account. First, they got screwed by the 'Derrick Rose rule', then they lost him for 2.5 years.

On top of that, the bullshit cap/luxary tax stuff made it so they couldn't make any moves. It's one thing for the player to get his money, it's another to strap a team cap wise. The NBA roster is way too small to restrict a team like this, and the new CBA has to look at this hard, imo.

While Cowley is a shithead and an awful writer, I dont see why the Bulls wouldn't be looking at any offer.

It's the timing of the article that makes Cowley an idiot. Cowley is just another troll with a vendetta against Reinsdorf and the Bulls.

Listen, I don't disagree with anything in regards to how shitty Cowley is. I just don't think the premise is all that off.

I'm not saying that. I'm saying for you to consider that right now let's Cowley win. Trading Rose, as however unrealistic of an idea it is, is a topic for the off season. There is 0% advantage to talk about it now.

Will your opinion change if Rose helps the Bulls to a championship this season? Can a trade actually help the Bulls now? Will another team trade for his massive contract w/o seeing what he does this playoffs?

For the subject to be realistic at all, Rose would have to make his comeback and play pretty well in this playoffs. The fact that anyone would actually entertain the idea at all, tells me that Cowley's intention was successful.

To me, Cowley's an idiot, and he can stick his opinion where the sun don't shine. I'm looking forward to Derrick coming back on Wednesday or Friday and kicking ass as we shock the NBA World in the playoffs, making the idea of a trade a moot point. :dunno:

I mean, technically, Rose can't be traded until the offseason anyway, so why not talk about it then? :elephant:
