i'm not sure if i buy into what he's suggesting. Rose is an unselfish player, that cares about winning. I don't think his ego prevented him from recruiting lebron. I think it's more probable that derrick rose is far too awkward to recruit anyone.
if not, it's good to see that at least one player is far too busy determining how to beat the other stars in the league rather than determining how to recruit them.

You my friend understand competitiveness. Congrats to you.
I feel the same as you. I want my team to beat lebron. There shouldn't be anything wrong with that.

Having Rose play the way he is this year without LeBron is a good trade-off don't you guys think?

I don't believe this CRAP Either, the media is just trying to FEED the "Anti-LeBron" movement not they are using other players against him
yes I do think Rose wants to be that SUPERSTAR that carries his team and maybe he feels like if the Bulls add LeBron or Melo they may take this team away from him
just because Rose wasn't all in the media BEGGING FOR LEBRON OR WADE to come to Chicago does not mean he didn't want them to come

He had an interview in the off-season where he stated that he would like LeBron in Chicago, but that's about it

I guess it's a good read, if you missed the other 100 versions of this same topic from July.

What did you waqnt him to say, we need lebron; deng isn't good enough, please please please with sugar on top. i honestly think that rose is an awkward player that neither wanted to throw his team nor his teammates under the bus by lobbying for a player that plays the same position as a teammate.

I don't believe he wanted Lebron because their styles clashed. AW is not to be trifled with when it comes to these types of stories. He has stated all along that Lebron didn't feel wanted by Rose. I believe that just might be the case. Why wouldn't he want Lebron? He wants to be a star...a superstar. Rose wants to be an MVP. He is not going to get that right away with Lebron and his entourage moving in...
I think it has to do with temperament also. Lebron is called the "King" for more than one reason. He can be arrogant, petulant, and just a damn spoiled brat. Rose wants no special concessions like Lebron, and doesn't seem to want the superstar treatment. He just wants to be a superstar.
The Joe Johnson thing makes sense. I couldn't sell people on these forums on Joe Johnson, but I believe that Rose wants a shooting guard that compliments his game...a Joe Dumars type. While Johnson is not a Joe Dumars, he brings a lot to the table and would have been the best shooting guard the Bulls have had by a sizable margin since 1998.
Rose knew he would be this good...I didn't, and dare I say the Bulls might not have known either. Getting Lebron is a once in a generation thing. Lebron is unselfish on the court, it is an attractive part of his game. Its the demands and expectations everywhere else that might have soured Rose on attaining him.

you couldn't sell his current contract. joe johnson for 14 million a year sounds great. he's actually exactly what we need right now. people are doubling rose and forcing the ball out of his hands. this leads to a lot of iso plays by guys who really shouldn't be running iso plays. JJ could initiate the offense while rose is being taken out of the game.
also, best sg since 98?!?!?!?!?!?! have you seen bogans play? gtf out of here.
I duno. I still get the feeling that he's reading far too much into it in order to get a story.
