I personally think his MVP days are done. In fact I'd go as far as saying this current Bulls era is done and its time for them to rebuild. An injury prone Rose plus the pieces they currently have just isn't going to get it done anymore.
If I were in charge I'd start looking into trades to start piling assets/future picks.
EDIT: It's confirmed that Rose will be out for the remainder of the season http://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1286206
Man that sucks... Missing an entire season then playing only 10 games and hurting yourself again? Bulls fans must be on suicide watch.

you blow the whole thing up
rose can come back from this
it will be mental more then anything
this team was in a win now mentality
you blow it up
rose when he come back take a paycut and get a superstar
maybe if the whole world swerves from him for a moment he can redevelop and adjust his game and get a better overall game
then come back improved

Here's the real question... Is coach Thibs going to be on board with a team that's clearly rebuilding? Highly doubtful.

What do you guys think about the Rudy Gay to Sacramento trade? As a Raptors fan, I was celebrating despite getting nothing in return, but at least that $19 million black hole is gone.
I just wonder how Sacramento will deal with both Derrick Williams and Rudy.
Here starts the "Gay-Kings" Era, or "Gay Cousins" Era, haha.

Rudy Gay...my gosh, who would want him? Now you got a guy who's a black hole + a center with ego problems in Cousins.

I guess the Kings are desperate to make a playoff push... Without actually making the playoffs.
Rudy Gay is terrible. When the RAPTORS of all teams are trying to get rid of you, you know something's wrong.

Kobe's new contract guaranteed that the Lakers aren't sniffing the Finals for the next 2 seasons.
The West is all about the Thunder and Spurs at this point (with the Blazers looking like a dark horse so far).

Lebron wasn't coming over here anyway, melo+kobe is a no no
Anything else was either not worth it or impossible. And we certainly aren't getting a good pick since we can't tank. So it up to kobe to do that 06' thing again.
Should be fun, anyway how about them pacers? (and how's your hawks? I'm assuming your a hawks fan).

Heat fan actually... Not to get confused with the Big 3 bandwagoners I bandwagoned way back in '06 when they (aka D Wade) won the title. xD
Things are actually looking up for the Hawks though. They got rid of the 2 main players holding them back in Joe Johnson and Josh Smith + their new coach and system both seem really solid so far (a lot of people are calling them the Spurs-lite). All they need are some solid draft picks and they'll be in good shape. Unfortunately the East is so bad they might not get one...
Not surprised the Pacers are looking like world beaters they've always been the Heat's #1 kryptonite in my eyes. I could see them beating the Heat in a 7 game series it's all gonna come down to 1) if D Wade can get healthy 2) can they prevent Hibbert from looking like prime Shaq and 3) can the Heat role players actually contribute cause they always seem to suck ass against the Pacers (especially Ray Allen and Shane Battier).

Tim Duncan in particular seems to have defied the concept of aging.
Dude could probably play into his mid 40's.

Man, my Raptors are doing amazing after the Rudy Gay trade. Just wonder how much longer this hype will go on for.

Kobe? He might not even be back by then. Hasn't even done well ever since he got back, before getting injured again.

Kobe already said he doesn't deserve it. It then becomes an argument of what the AS game stands for. Is it an exhibition of players for the fans, picked by the fans? Or is the voting process meant to show the best of the best? I personally go with the latter. Were it up to me, I'd actually want to construct a team that exemplifies offense, defense, and certain skill sets.
Then again, that could also be considered the All NBA Team. If you had to go into one big game with 5 guys, who are you taking?

Ah a topic Ill be going crazy while i am at this boards. Love me some sports sports sports!! Heat fan here (back to back champs) and before I get bombed with being called a bandwagon fan. I am born and raised in the M I A my whole life. The heat was the only team i rooted for in basketball because they are my home team. Still remember playing NBA Jam in the arcades and always picked Miami and our 2 players consist of Glen Rice and Rony Siekle and watching Zo and Tim Hardaway fight and play hard...only to be booted from the playoffs by teams like the Bulls and those damn Knicks -_-.....
Back on topic. Player buyouts are going on. Danny Granger and Caron Butler going to be on the market after they are cleared from waivers. Any Heat fans think we should pick up Butler again? we could use more help on the 2/3 spot. Especially with Wade going in and out of the lineup.

So funny when heat haters looks for any excuse to hate on greatness :3.

Thats a shame cause San Antonio is a pretty good team. And the last thing I am as a freaking bandwagoner. I am born, raised and still reside in Miami. I have to deal with my baseball team being run by the worst owner in baseball and a football team slowly converting to the East Coast Oakland Raiders. Sorry my hometown Basketball team just happens to be the 2 time defending champions and have the best player in the world :3.
Let me guess buddy, you're a Cavs fan?

This is the internet buddy. We all have to justify ourselves. If I didnt say anything, you still call me a bandwagoner just cause I root for Miami

My Wolves would be in the playoffs if they were in the Eastern Conference.
Probably pretty high up, since they'd be playing the bad teams more.

(might have already been asked but) People are always saying Lebron is always calling for fouls and that he whines for fouls all the time. What do you guys think? I he really a crybaby like some people make him out to be?
