Stop declaring & lead by example.
so the media actually wants a player to stop making statements to the media?
interesting...

We definitely missed a confident, 2-way dominant player who could lead vocally and by example. I see nothing wrong with this becoming Jimmy's team.
Jo can continue firing up the team, but he sure as hell isn't gonna help you win games by example. At his "best" we were a rather mediocre team, which everyone seems to forget. DJ's offensive competence and Jimmy's mpg spike helped us win more.
Rose doesn't talk, nor defend. Give Jimmy dem keys.

This is big boy sports politics. And Jimmy is serving notice that there is a new sheriff in town and I for one and 110% on board the Jimmy train. I quite certain pau, Niko, Doug, Kirk, Mike and Moore all on board. Hopefully Snell and taj are too and that leaves Jo and Rose to get on board or GTFO!!
The front office is clearly behind Rose too. As is Fred. Unless you haven't read Gar and Fred's comments on Rose lately. Or unless you conveniently disregard it while buying the comments on Jimmy.
What makes you certain that any of those guys other than maybe Doug would get behind Jimmy moreso than Derrick?
You know Kirk may not be a Bull right now if not for Derrick. Pau was rumored to want to play with Derrick and vice versa since before Jimmy was anything. Mike signed here to compete with Jimmy for minutes and play off of Rose at a time when Jimmy wasn't anything special.
Where are you getting your thoughts on Moore's allegiance from? Or Niko?

there's a new sheriff in town, kid. And his name is Jimmy Butler! Y'all be cool. Stay cool. Right on.

I don't understand the purpose of your comment or what you mean by it. I gather that you like Jimmy, think he's great and want him to be our leader. I don't understand the rest of what you're writing about him being a sheriff, whatever that means. I wondered if you knew anything we didn't about all of the players whose allegiance you claim to be certain of. I notice you didn't answer that.
And don't call me kid. That's generally something 50 year old men say, not young cheerleaders. It's unbecoming.

your other questions are just a futile effort to make me do work that no matter what I present to you, you will disagree with. I could have Jerry Reinsdorf on Tape recorder saying he doesn't want Derrick Rose on his team and you would then say that John paxson and Gar forman and Fred Hoiberg are his direct bosses and as long as they (aren't on record) of saying the same thing then all is fine and dandy...so I just didn't bother and I accept that we simply agree to disagree on this.
As for my "new sheriff" comment...not calling YOU (or anyone) a kid...its a meme that I mashed up to fit in Jimmy Butler. I figured you might recognize it since it was kinda popular...I think?

Well then why are you watching ESPN? Seems mostly like a bunch of guests and talking heads saying outrageous stuff to make it about them (just like the view). Not much about sports highlights/analysis anymore, just a bunch of crap.

Derrick Rose is still scheduled to rejoin the Bulls at some point next week, but the swelling around his left eye isn't subsiding as quickly as hoped and his return to activity could be delayed.
It's also unclear if Rose will play at all during the preseason. The Bulls have yet to rule Rose out for the regular-season opener on Oct. 27 against the Cavaliers.
"His eye is still pretty swollen," coach Fred Hoiberg said. "Hopefully, that continues to go down. The vision hopefully doesn’t have any issues once he starts working out again and gets his blood pressure up."
That, in fact, will be one of the main determining factors whether Rose can play on opening night.
"Derrick will at least start working out next week but I’m not sure he’ll play in the preseason," Hoiberg said.
