    So sad. Career over. Are the Bulls still a contender? They still have All Star Jimmy Butler.

    It's a bad spot to be in. Even without Rose we're a decent team, but that's it. Just decent. Now he's going to have to do 9 months rehab and come back even rustier. Probably less athletic, too.

    If they remove the damaged part of the meniscus instead of repair it he'll be back in time for the playoffs. It depends on the severity of the tear.

    It's partial, thank God. I hope he can return. I feel like he'll never be what he was, but 9 months out of the NBA would kill his career.

    I guess you're forgetting the simple fact that Denver wanted small contracts and ending contracts, of which CJ is neither.

    All I hear is excuses and deflection and hyperbole. You know full well I'm not a moron, so don't treat me like one.

    Kersey was a 2nd round draft pick.

    Yeah I hate to say it but D.Roses career is over. Gotta be real tough for Bulls fans, that's almost Oden esque what could have been status.

    We've still got Butler/Noah/Mirotic though. So there's that.

    Not a lot on the market but if I were Chicago I'd make a push for Brandon Knight this summer.

    Team USA didn''t help Rose. I hate to see a guy of his talent go through a BRoy deterioration but it's not looking good for his career.

    They're way over the cap. Into LT if they re-sign Butler for MAX money.

    Yeah, if he repairs the tear, I think its 6 months minimum, if they just cut it out, I think its a couple of weeks.

    He was looking like he could play at all-star level at will.
