February 25, 201511 yr In a repeat of 2013, Derrick Rose will have surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his knee. I imagine his season is over and that this injury could potentially jeopardize 2015-2016, as well.

February 25, 201511 yr I'm a diehard Bulls fan but it's time to cut the strings and start building around someone else... I think you're correct.
February 25, 201511 yr Author I'm a diehard Bulls fan but it's time to cut the strings and start building around someone else... How much money are the Bulls in for, yet, with Rose? He can't be traded. Chicago, likely, has no choice but to figure out how to make this work.

February 25, 201511 yr Author Not sure but it maybe better to eat most of his salary and release him then to pay him for setting on the bench... Based on Salary Cap rules, you would still be taking a significant cap hit. First, you have to waive him. He won't be claimed. Until a team signs him, he counts against your cap for the full guaranteed salary amount. Then if someone picks him up, he still counts against your cap via set off rules for a significant portion of the guaranteed money. Cutting him is not an option. Unless Rose retires, the Bulls financial options are limited.
February 25, 201511 yr I've dogged Derrick Rose probably more than anyone on here. At this point I just feel bad for him. I don't recall ever seeing anything like this. Penny Hardaway is the closest. Just a shame really.
February 25, 201511 yr One ACL surgery on his left knee and two meniscus surgeries on his right knee. That's a lot.
February 25, 201511 yr I'm a diehard Bulls fan but it's time to cut the strings and start building around someone else... No question but not sure how that is done. He's under contract the next two years at over $20M.
