I doubt it's about the money...
That said, I don't think he's going to be happy on the bench in Chicago.

Derrick Rose injured again
- Thread starter baagoe
- Start date
Little known fact: the mayans had a calendar based on Drose's injury status...it's that regular.
Rose hasn't even been the Bulls best player the last year an a half. That would be Jimmy Butler. The East still isn't that great. Fred will be fine.
The grind some of you all have for him is incredible, I mean really, really amazing.

For Fred, yes, since he's a buddy of Gar.
However Tim Floyd was once a buddy of Jerry Krause and look how that friendship turned out.
I heard a clip this am on the radio, they were playing a reporter from Chicago. It was along the lines of "Most players are out 4-6 weeks with this injury, although Rose is planning on missing the season. He wants to ensure that his orbital bone heals properly for his son's graduation in 16 years. He doesn't want the pictures to look bad."
They went on from there and made some more jokes, it was pretty funny.

I think at this point anyone who actually PLAYS is better than Rose...because potential sitting on the bench is worth ZERO points. : )
You know this guy named LeBron James is still in Cleveland, right? Fred isn't going to the Finals anytime soon because LeBron isn't leaving Cleveland anytime soon.
You don't remember that Greg Oden MVP season? It was right after they drafted him #1 when he clearly had the knees of a 90 year old man and had gone on record that he'd rather be a dentist than a basketball player.
I, for one, am just absolutely shocked that Rose has sustained another injury.. Hoiberg might have to take a line from Thibs on this one:
Definitely not saying it's the end of Fred's career, but like ISU football finds ways to lose, Derrick Rose finds ways to be injured. Heard a stat this morning on the WGN News that Derrick has missed more games than he's played in his Pro career. That's pretty telling and I would think the odds say he ends up injured again this season.
Because Flip won't just offer him the T-wolves gig again in 2 years if this doesn't work out? Fred was way better off to get his foot in the door with what will probably still be a playoff team in the east. He's a well liked guy, and now that he's officially an "NBA guy" he'll for sure get a second, if not a third chance with different teams if Chicago doesn't pan out.
This basically is how I feel about the situation. The Bulls would have to totally tank and the Front office would have to prove they are willing to get Fred whatever he needed to win. As long as he does an average job here and doesn't burn any bridges, he'll definitely get at least a second chance. I think the rest of the league knows what the Bulls are all about. I mean look how the Thibs thing went down. Fred is way too likable a guy to not get a second chance. As long as he doesn't burn the organization to the ground, he'll be fine.
