Dude can be back by the playoffs if he removes the meniscus and goes the Wade route, but his career won't be that long.
Or he can come back next year and go through the 6 month process again

“I feel I’ve been managing myself pretty good. I know a lot of people get mad when they see me sit out. But I think a lot of people don’t understand that when I sit out, it’s not because of this year. 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.

This is very unfortunate. Get well soon Rosebud
Damn .. that athleticism and speed had to come at a price ...
It's all those hard jump stops with lateral movement that he does, Russ doesn't do them and really when you look around the league the only other person that does is Wiggins

Damn dudes knees just can't make it through a whole season
he's already decided to have the longer surgery.. he's out 6-9 months
See here was my concern the first time i heard about how he treated the first tear coming into this season.
Remember Russel Westbrook had the same meniscus injury when he collided into Patrick Beverly... and opted to go the safe/longer recovery route as well? He had it reattached and missed the playoffs to let it heal back up... Yet a couple months into the very next season he had knee issues again with the same knee and had to have another surgery to re-repair the meniscus... at that point I don't know if they simply removed it or if it was just that loose stitch that was the problem... but he surprised everyone by how quickly he came back and hasn't missed a beat since.
I also remember I think Eric Bledsoe opting to just remove the meniscus instead of deal with the recovery. And D Wade said he went that same route... but that he regretted it as it causes long term issues with the knee, versus the short term benefits.
So when I read that Derrick Rose went the 'safe' route like Russell did, as opposed to having it removed, in the back of my mind I was thinking maaaan with his style of play how can their not be complications when he comes back?
And if so he gon take his time too 
But once he made it past all star break, i really thought he had overcame that hurdle

at this point, the bulls would be happy simply being able to make it thru the next 2 seasons with him intact.
he should be thanking his lucky stars if he could get d-wade's career longevity.
