It might be a crazy though to have at this time but could Derrick Rose's days in Chicago be numbered? He's been with Chicago for five years now. Except for his Rookie of the Year season in '08 and his MVP season in '11 he hasn't done much that many would consider him capable of comparison to other players at his position.

Derrick Rose is undoubtedly a great ball player. A hometown boy so the city of Chicago is hurting with him. But with another catastrophic knee injury that will sideline him for another season where there was great hope of finally beating the Miami Heat in the playoffs. Personally even with him I don't think that was going to happen.

The Bulls have a great core of players but do we really want to rely on Kirk Hinrich at point guard all season or the Teague kid? I suggest the Bulls make a trade and fast.
Going back again to the question of Rose's days being numbered in Chicago. Will fans want to sit through another year to see if the team will handle him differently this time? I believe that he should not have played last year though many say we would have gone deeper in the playoffs if he had played. I completely disagree.

First of all the year the Derrick hurt his knee against the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2011-12 season the Bulls had the best record in the NBA. They had the "Bench Mob," basically an entire team that had he been hurt there were a number of players who could have stepped in for him and kept it going. After the loss to the 76ers that team was dismantled and a patchwork team was put together. Regardless of the fact they made the second round of the playoffs in 2012-13 I agreed with Reggie Rose that the Bulls had done everything on the cheap and were lucky to have the success they had.

Now Rose is hurt again and if he remains with the team I think once his rehab is done he should play his way into shape by playing in the Summer League with the rookies, then pre-season games but brought off the bench to start the season. If he had no doubts in his mind before about the ability to come back from such devastating injuries he will next season. Fear not Bulls fans the Bulls will make the playofs this year even if it is by the will of Coach Thibs'. But will we see Derrick Rose in a Bulls uniform again?
