LOL this guy is unbelievable. Says he's not going to recruit, Bulls don't plan to involve him, and then has the audacity to complain that he's out of the loop.

you actually believe this **** :nonono: :lol:

This story is Rose Camp PR to take away from Rose working out for Anthony. Now that there is a huge possibility that Melo may stay in NY (ugh, stupidity on him if that does happen) Rose team had to turn that story around to not make him look like a fool. Of course assumption but make sense to me..

Horse ****

Broussard is either a liar, or a moron.

If you believe any of this BS spewing, then I've got a bridge to sell you.


Why? All we heard about Rose being involved is that Melo "saw him work out." This story is consistent with that.

If Rose was involved in the recruiting, why wasn't his name mentioned alongside Noah and Taj?

Isn't this a significant look into the Bulls mindset that they are preparing to move to Plan B? It may be reading too much into things, perhaps, but this could also indicate their confidence level in landing Anthony.

What's puzzling to me is that, if I were Chicago, I'd be on the phone right now with Minnesota. I don't like the idea of simply resigning a few of our own - Augustin/Hinrich, and maybe adding a couple other veteran role players. Yes, if Rose is healthy, this is a 50 win team and maybe the 2nd best team in the East, but we already know how the story ends. I think another superstar is needed here, and Love would be the guy I zero in on.


I don't think Mirotic has much value to the T-Wolves because of the uncertainty of him signing there. If we can bring him over here, he might be the best prospect available for Love come the deadline.


I love Kevin Love, but he isnt the 2nd shot creator that everyone is clamoring for.

A contract probably isn't worked out, but they see eye-to-eye on the biggest hurdles in a contract.

There's no hurry to sign him, but why wouldn't they? They want him here. You really think they rushed him over so they could trade him to the Knicks? Melo hasn't even made a decision yet. The Bulls don't operate like that.



Just my .02, but I think the Bulls are extremely high on Mirotic. This kid is twice the prospect Omer was - and I think the FO looks at him as a significant addition to an already very strong team. I honestly don't think the FO is looking or interested in trading him, but if he does go in a trade somewhere - I wouldn't expect much else to go with him.

Same here. It could be part of the reason why the FO are not that aggresive on trading for Love.

soo...every single Bulls fan knew Melo would be coming but D.Rose didn't?

wow he really should check RealGM in that case


I don't think that's what he's saying. What he's saying is the brass didn't ask him to be part of the recruiting process, the pitch if you will, and saw Melo at the UC while the brass gave Melo a tour.

Lol so neither Noah or Taj mentioned to Derrick that they' be meeting with Melo? The FO didn't mention it either? Reggie and the rest of his camp were also oblivious? :lol:

Rose may of not been involved in the meeting but he damn well knew Melo was gonna be there today and im guessing the bulls told him to be working out so melo could see his health wasn't an issue

This is all smokescreen. Bulls, Rose's camp or Melo's camp leaking a nugget of info so the media can run wild with it.
