    Former Bucks center Larry Sanders missed about 2 months with orbital fracture during the 2013-'14 season. Took an elbow from James Harden.

    If I were Chicago I'd think about moving him, I know he is a hometown kid but I think both parties need a fresh start.

    How much would they get for him at this point? I guess they could move him to NY for Melo.

    It would be interesting if Milwaukee made an offer. They've got quite a few young studs, and that's extremely close to Chicago so they could still cash in on the local support system.

    I doubt they'd trade in division.

    Actually it's 100 games, NOT including preseason or playoffs.

    Rose makes $20.09M. The most we paid Oden was $6.76M. He is 3 Odens, and thus worth 1/3 of zero.

    Derrick Rose fractures eye socket

    The Bulls planned for training camp to be filled with good vibes and positive thinking after hiring new coach Fred Hoiberg and returning a 50-win team intact with room for growth.

    Instead, the first practice delivered a stunning, if familiar, storyline.

    Derrick Rose caught an accidental elbow to his face halfway through Hoiberg’s first session and left for tests that revealed a left orbital fracture. The team said Rose, who turns 27 Sunday, will undergo surgery at Rush University Medical Center on Wednesday. A timetable for his return will be determined after the procedure.

    Absences following surgery for orbital fractures have run the gamut recently with players missing anywhere from five to 28 games. Whatever the case, Rose’s injury piles on top of Mike Dunleavy’s back surgery last Friday. Dunleavy’s rehabilitation process could sideline the veteran forward eight to 10 weeks.

    Suddenly, 40 percent of Hoiberg’s projected starting lineup will miss most, if not all, of training camp. A source said there is optimism Rose will be ready for the Oct. 27 regular-season opener against LeBron James and the Cavaliers.

    And while this setback pales in comparison to the three knee surgeries Rose has endured, it’s yet another mental challenge for a former most valuable player who tried to remind all of his greatness during Monday’s media day.

    I actually was hoping we'd keep Freeland. Hope he's ok.
