Taj will recruit. He'll be at Melo meeting (with Noah)

[pduh01]

I predict by this time next week(or sooner) we'll be scratched off Melo's short list. I think it's time to wake up from the dream.

How about we wait until this all plays out then see if a dream comes true, or our nightmares comes true.

If this is true and Rose says no to Noah, it's the beginning of the end for this team.

Damn, what do you want Rose to do? Tap dance for that ****?

LOL!

I am not crazy about Carmelo Anthony by any stretch but given that Rose hasn't been healthy enough to tap dance for ages, it makes me think that he should at least put some effort and try to recruit players.

Derrick Rose doesn't publicly recruit players, but sources told the Tribune last week word has reached Anthony's camp that Rose would welcome Anthony's arrival. If Anthony wants to talk to Rose, sources said an effort for that conversation will be made.

Bulls board just needs to understand that when Rose talks sometimes...he doesn't make sense.

What is Noah asking of him that is out of line?

Come on man. If you're visiting a team that really really really wants you to play for them, you shouldnt have to ask to talk to their best player--who by the way would basically be his 1,2 punch partner. Rose should already be there, especially if Noah and Taj are making the effort. Our most attractive asset is the possibility of playing with a healthy Derrick Rose. Rose cant give him the time of day? People take notice to things like that, and I'd imagine it would be even more scrutinized here. I forgot what player it was, but they were interested in the Mavs but Cuban didnt show up to the meeting and completely turned them off. I'd be bothered if the other teams best player didnt reach out to me or at least swing by to say whats up when I'm in their town.

All Rose needs to do is make it clear to Melo that he wants him on the team. Which by all reports, he has done that.

Also, let's remember Rose has a habit of contradicting himself. Talk about uncertainty with team USA and then goes on to say he can't wait to show everyone that he's still the same player. It is what it is.

[samwana]

anyone that still thinks the heat have a punchers chance at carmelo is delusional.

Especially since he's not even meeting with them.

At least there is nothing out in the public yet. But how about everyone gets a pitch and then he goes to Miami to sign there? Pretty easily done. Never underestimate Riley

Jo and taj picking up that flag and hopefully leading us to victory

That was Deron Williams.

Imho, the problem was not Cuban's absence, but that it wasn't clear beforehand.

A meeting needs to be prepared. The Bulls need to talk to Melo's people to see what he expects. If they tell him something like "you know how Derrick is, he's better on-court, but of course he'll be there, if you'd like to see him, let us know and he'll be there" and Melo's people come back saying that he'd rather talk to Jo and Taj, then what's the point?

If there was no preparation, then Derrick would have to be there, sure, but I sure hope those things were taken care of.

Anyone who criticizes Derrick Rose for not recruiting Melo should watch the TED Talk video of Susan Cain, who wrote "The Power of Introverts." I have similarities in personality to Rose, and I find it absolutely sickening to witness how people put him down for expressing his true and natural personality. Rose is one of the best basketball players in the world and by all accounts is a great teammate; if he doesn't want to pretend socialize or suck up to Melo, it should not be a big deal whatsoever.

[Chitownbulls]

Did we meet with Melo last night or are we doing that this morning?

[TyrusRose2425]

Pretty sure during the day. Let's be honest, no way will they show Melo the practice facility, go through a couple hour meeting with Melo at 11PM. However, Noah etc.. may have already met with him really quick.

The way I interpreted those comments was that Rose doesn't want to play, for real, until he knows he can show everybody he is still the same. Because he then hinted that he may not be. He is "still working out those wrinkles" as he put it. His "body is responding well, but you never know." He'll see how he feels and" if it feels right and the time is right, he'll play" This is the same rhetoric we were getting during the ACL rehab tail end. He was ready but wanted to be 110%. But, again he "could have played, a long time ago."

This is the attitude that has to stop and he needs to realize that part of the rehab is playing in real games, and you're never going to get to even 100% until you have a bunch of those. Even Michael, when he came back from MUCH less time missed altogether in both his foot injury in his 2nd season and his baseball hiatus. MJ missed what 130ish games. Rose has missed a couple hundred. He's played 50 games in three years and missed three playoffs in a row.. (yeah let that sink in while you criticize the FO), It took Michael a full season to really be himself. Sure he had moments and big games (dropping 55 oin the Knikcs) , but he didn't start to really be MJ, the GOAT, and get his timing and his team play, his flooor game that made everybody better, down again, for awhile.

Agreed. I empathize with him as well. My natural personality is not outgoing at all and I need to make a concentrated effort to be social and interactive. I am perfectly content to be alone, silent in my own thoughts the vast majority of the time. Its just my nature. Which is why this forum is perfect for me as in a digital way I can get my dose of social interaction, yet maintain my solitary.

Rose is introverted, not as smart as the average person, and was raised to be humble. Thats not a great mix for a public figure. However, unfortunately due to his injury a lot of his flaws have become cause for fan anger/rage/hate whereas before we would overlook them because he has been injured and he is not playing thats no longer the case. Its highly characteristic of the "What have you done for me lately" and instant gratification syndromes of 21st century society.
