Insider: Bulls Would 'Love' to Trade Rose, May See Him Disappear as Free Agent

[Axl Rose]

Rose might be the most untradable player in the league so yeah its pointless to talk about because it isn't happening

Joe Cowley day in and day out proves he sniffed a little too much rosin bag when he played.

honesty i don't see why they wouldn't...i don't think hes played 82 games total since we gave him that max contract which is eating a big chunk of our cap space and has kept this team in limbo for 4 years now

we all love Rose but it is what it is...the man is a liability

When you make the case that the Bulls should trade him, what other team is supposed to be so stupid that they wouldn't notice any of that and give up anything of value in return? Is there a GM who wants to risk his job taking on a max contract to eat up his cap space with an oft injured player attached?

you can trade him but you will get nothing in return and in fact probably have to take on a couple other bad contracts of crap we dont want and probably lose multiple draft picks. Kind of like the Arenas trade noone thought would ever happen

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:

Well in fairness, the idea that he was able to come back and help the team win a championship in a significant way only ups his trade value.

I mean, I guess I don't understand the idea of not talking about this now - there has been plenty of bandwith talked about Thibs being let go at the end of this season.

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

No, now, I can't hold my breath that long. :fist:
