Stan Van Gundy Trolling: Will Rose leave Chicago?

[the next guy]

Stan Van Gundy ponders Derrick Rose's future in Chicago - ESPN Chicago

CHICAGO -- In an era when NBA superstars pair up for the easiest path to a championship, former Orlando Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy wondered Monday if Derrick Rose will be one of the next to look for greener pastures if the Chicago Bulls don't land another superstar or win a championship.

"I think the interesting one coming up in the future is going to be Derrick Rose," Van Gundy said on AM-740's "The Game" in Orlando. "I think Derrick Rose is a great, great representative of our league, and he's a great player. And he's got good players around him, very good players around him, but if (the Bulls) can't get another star there for him is he eventually going to look around and say, 'Hey, I've got to work this out on my own and I've got to find somehow to get somewhere else so that I will have a chance to play with another star.' The league has changed."

Rose, who tore his ACL during the Bulls' first playoff game last season against the Philadelphia 76ers, has stated that he plans to stay in Chicago for his entire career. He signed a five-year max extension before last season worth over $90 million. Van Gundy's point is that if Rose can't rebound from the injury and win a championship, even the most loyal player may start to look at other situations.

If MGMT does not surround him with talent to win a chip and he left, as a bulls fan i wouldn't be mad at him.

He's right though , but I think he's too loyal to chicago to leave.

I'm already one step ahead -

Not to look too far down the road, but I fear Rose's story is gonna end in the same vein that Bron's did.

I see Derrick Rose being a one-team for his entire career type of guy. That is, unless Chicago gives him the boot.

Russy will be at the 2.

It's just the unfortunate inevitability that Rose will leave. The constant power-struggle and formation of stars around his age in the league will be his damnation. He'll be nearing 25, once the Bulls will be able to compete and by then all these multiple star-teams would've evolved further.

 

[Da King]

he'll be gone, the hometown kid pressure + MJ shadow + midwest corny chiacgo = why the hell would he stay

 

[Brozay]

Might be the only situation Id ride with the player over my squad.

 

[tremonthustler1]

he ain't goin nowhere. Don't be nervous.

 

[god shamgod]

He wont be a free agent til summer 2017

Bulls will have ample amount of time to add some stars to help rose by then
