Gotta disagree.
There is no reason Roses knees should give put again. The surgery actually should make them stronger. The problem is how much of "the game" has he lost sitting out for 3 years? Even if he's still in good shape, he lost 3 years of development.
But seriously, he's 26. He has at minimal 5 great years ahead of him and another 5 solid ones behind that.
Let's get real, with no hardcore talent Thibs has drove this team to the play offs the last two years. They are number 1 in defense and rarely lose by the double digits. If they could just mange to ad 15pts to their game they become a solid competitor. 20pts, a title contender.
The Nicks didn't even get to the playoffs last season. Even if Rose goes out or is only mediocre, Melo would still have a real championship shot with the Bulls. I don't see him having any shot with the Nicks.
The problem is if the Bulls amnesty Boozer they have what, 11 mill to play with? Melo is set to make $23m with the Nicks this year.
How much is a ring worth? How much of the team are the Bulls willing to sacrifice to get $20m space to entice Melo or Lebron?
