Scottie Pippen has made noise about pursuing a coaching career some day.
In the meantime, the former Bulls star offered some unsolicited management advice for his former team regarding Derrick Rose.
"He's a very exciting player who I love watching play because he plays a lot bigger than his size and doesn't mind mixing it up," Pippen said this week. "I just think you have to put some players around him or he's going to sort of fade away.
"As good as he is, you can beat a dead horse only so much. If he's not motivated here by winning as his career continues, then he's going to start looking at guys like Ben Gordon who made a move [to Detroit].
"Playing this game is a lot of fun. But the meat-and-potatoes of this league is winning. If you're not on a team that's winning, it takes a lot out of you as a player."
