    I wanted Melo on the Bulls really, really bad simply because having him here would have taken a lot of the pressure off of Derrick and allowed him to ease back into being a difference maker again. Now as it stands, it is still mostly on him.

    Noah and Gasol should be able to help with their play making abilities, but Rose still has to get the ball to them as well.

    Derrick Rose made it through 1 season before Thibodeau ran him into the ground.

    No argument from me. It appears that way.

    And we had CJ Watson on that team.

    I really hope Thibs has re-evaluated his rotation philosophy and minute management for Rose's sake, to prevent other players (like Jimmy Butler, the hardest working man in show business) from getting injured and because if he hasn't Mirotic will be toast by April.

    Just curious, how many minutes do you want Thibodeau to play Rose? 25? 30?

    Rose wasn't run into the ground. The truly great players are on the court more than Rose was.

    Even Jordan at age 39 was logging about the same minutes as Rose, and much higher minutes than Rose through age 34 (retirement).
