He could probably be a good rebounding/defensive presence in a 20-25 min role, but not at the price tag he is about to get. We got to aim higher than Jo, as much as I love him. Easily one of my favorite athletes all time.

He lost all his lift after his knee surgery a couple years ago, he wasnt the same player since
:to: damn but I want the NYC boy home

What a stupid ass trade though from the Bulls. Didnt even get a future first rounder :mjlol:

Rose played well last year, especially coming off those injuries. We get him refreshed. Not off any injuries and pretty much a whole season under his belt. :dahell:

You have to understand the position the Bulls were in. You werent there for all the injury years. If he had a great season this year, they would never be comfortable giving him the max contract he will be seeking with the threat of injury looming. His injuries held the team hostage for several years, it's not a risk they could take long term again. It sucks, but I get it.

Only 2 things could fukk this up...


1- Injuries

2- Melo's demeanor and attitude about this.

:lupe:

Why ya'll nikkas always do this shyt. Melo ain't the problem. Why ya'll always pegging shyt on this nikka

We not accepting that negative shyt this year

Real talk, all yall getting flagged for this melo hate

I'll be good if he can score 15-17ppg and 5-7 apg and appears about 60+ games during the season playing 30-33 minutes. Obviously us Knick brehs want a higher output which can happen if he's playing at a high level, but just thinking realistically. What are your expectations for D Rose this upcoming season and his ceiling?

  • Before answering, we don't know who's going to fill out the roster yet.

  • He has the drive and coming to a new environment can rejuvenate your game but he still is plagued by injuries

Sorry for the misunderstanding...

But let me clarify my position...

I have never been, nor never will be a Melo hater.

I've defended him, justly, throughout his entire career in NY.

I think Melo will most likely be ecstatic about this move.

I was just saying that it's one of the only 2 things that could make this rocky.

And i don't think either one will happen.

Respect.



Edit: upon 2nd look... I also stated that I don't think eitger would happen on my original post. Why'd you fox news splice my post, breh?:russ:
