I love the idea of Derrick playing with Doug Mc...huge for both in building a rapport.

Yeah guys! Cleveland won't trade with Chicago! Except for all those times they did. But those times don't count.

That was before Lebron. :banghead:

As has already been pointed out - the 'Lebron Cavs' have made trades with the Bulls.

Exactly what MG says and also you think the Cavs won't help the Bulls get Waiters if it means the Cavs getting Love? I think they would in that case.

" Director of sports performance, Jen Swanson, who is now drawing attention from even other teams to survey the Bulls methods"

Am I the only person that doesn't like this? Find someone else to poach. Leave her alone.

they would help us. but not with waiters. I don't understand why people expect them to trade a player that's in their core and who is reportedly favored by lebron. well I guess I do. it's typical wishful thinking I suppose. trades are always viewed from the home teams' pov and never the others...besides they can get love without giving up waiters.

Why the hell does every team want what we have all the time. At least staff wise.

They can keep Waiters. Who cares.

I'm waiting for the report that Memphis is offering a heavily protected first rounder for Jen Swanson.

WT: http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/23 ... rst-Return

Read a few articles and came across Rose saying "he wanted to prove people wrong 'too bad' in his first return".

I broke my ankle playing basketball about 7 months ago and I was out for my whole high school basketball season.(about to be a junior)

And when I got back on the court, I was playing AAU ball. Coming back from my injury,( I know I can't really relate my injury to D Rose tearing his Meniscus and ACL) I did not try to diminish the thoughts or doubt people had in me coming back and just tried to play my game. I always thought in my mind that I'm not doing this for anybody except for myself. At this point in Derrick's career, I hope he understands that.

Don't come back just because you want to prove other people wrong, come back because you love the game too much to even care about what people think. Come back because basketball was your gateway out of Roseland/Englewood. Come back because your teammates need you. Not because all the "D Rose Haters" need to be proved wrong.

I know he pulled out of Team USA but is that Westbrook (in a white shirt, and grey shorts) on the end of the bench at :40 into the vid? It's not Lillard, as he is sitting next to Korver.
