Rose is having surgery. There is a good chance that if he played last year even a little he'd be in shape and not hurt. Can't know for sure, but I am telling you he was managed poorly and the effects were disasterous.

I agree that he may have been maanaged poorly. As I've said you can't put it all on him. The Bulls are definiately complicit in this. Plus I think it's his style of play. His knees aren't built for it. Remember there was no contact in either injury. I think the Bulls were also stupid for letting Nate Robinson go to Denver.
