How is there anything left in his knees to break? This sucks we might start winning games if Melo and Rose stay out

I'm coming around on Vujacic tho, apparently amazing lockerroom dude, plays the right way and is no threat to ever win games, perfect tanking guy

He will eventually make it in, just not within the first few tries. The rape case damages his chances much more than his actual post-injury career at this point.

Rose should sneak onto a contender next season and be their 6th man. They'd absolutely let him in if he had a 6th man of the year, MVP, title, two world cup golds (of the US's 5 all time), and ROTY.

I feel like every time the hall of fame comes up here, posters hold players to a stricter requirements than the actual voters.

would derrick rose be the worst 12th player on the warriors roster of these past few years? going by MP per game its been javale mcgee, ian clark and festus ezili



i think he would actually make the warriors worse by being on their roster. hes way worse than 2 capable backup bigs is he worse than ian clark it feels like a push at best

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I honestly understand hating Rose for a variety of reasons, but the reaction to his basketball game is always overblown.

Rose would be a better player with a good coach. He isn't as bad as you think. He won't be the MVP again sure but he could end up in a better situation than playing for the Knicks.

Rose would probably look pretty good running pick and roll with Javale and all the shooters GSW has. Kerr has this weird aversion to running pnr repeatedly though.

Javale ain't on the team next year unless the other 29 teams all pass on him.

2, oh my god, I would turn off the game everytime the bench comes in. McGee is horrific at defense already, now you have Rose defending the 1st drive? Disaster.

It is 2030. After the rise of small ball came the rise of smaller ball. The current average height of a center is 6'8, point guards 5'9.

Why do people keep saying Derrick Rose did useful and productive things this year and showed some kinda recovery? I watched a lot of Knicks games and I did not really see this? He is still absolutely terrible at most everything and it still shows up in his negative BPM/RAPM. He finishes some weird shots around the rim but he's not usually a ready passer, when he does pass his passes are off-target and he commits dumb turnovers because he's got a special brain disease that leaves him unable to pass without jumping.

Noah made him a much better player by getting into tip-in position after every one of his dumb shots, but he couldn't really jump enough to do it at an all-star level anymore, which is about what's needed to make Rose functional teammate.
