He will keep himself on the sideline as long as possible. Not all bone spurs require removal, but this gives him something to cry about and blame, so he will hold it like Linus held his blanket.
He can say he didn't come back for the Adidas money, but he salivated over his "big pay day" for over two years before he became a free agent... and didn't get it. The only thing he cares about is money and putting in the least amount of effort to get it. Anything else is just lip service and I ain't buying it
What else is he supposed to care about.
Teammates. The franchise that pays him millions of dollars to put a ball in a hoop. Fans. Anyone who has a hand in paying him those millions of dollars, but I guess that is just stating logic. Nike didn't sign him to an endorsement deal hoping he would half ass it. When you are paid millions of dollars to be the leader and you refuse to lace them up because of a hang nail, you are letting a lot of people down that trusted you to give your best. I can't think of one person that would consider D Rose a warrior who leaves it all on the court, like someone like D Wade for example. With Rose, you know he has a lot more left in the tank and is saving it so he can play with his kids when he retires. He doesn't want to be sore at his son's graduation because of something he did in the past? How pathetic is that? How do we know? Because he told us.
"In a recent report per ESPN, Derrick Rose stated that he is thinking about life beyond his foreseeable future with Chicago. “I’m thinking about long term. I’m thinking about after I’m done with basketball. Having graduations to go to, having meetings to go to,” said Rose
“I don’t want to be in my meetings all sore or be at my son’s graduation all sore just because of something I did in the past. [I’m] just learning and being smart.”
