ESPN NBA - Bulls' Derrick Rose to USA Today Sports: "Far away" from return, won't be back until he's "110 percent"

That is smart I predicted he wouldn't be back this year at all. Would be smart to give him the whole summer to get back fully healthy. Far to many players come back early from ACL's Dwest would of been a lot better his first year with the Pacers with another 4 months to fully heal.

I'm surprised Kobe has been as delicate as he has with Dwight thus far. And I'm being dead serious.

But if Nash starts feuding with the guy, he has to go. Lol plain and simple

Does Dwight have a clue how badly Nash and Kobe could make him look if they were as selfish as he is? Jeez, Nash can make just about anyone who can jump look good! How fast do you think Amare would trade places with DH?

good

I think I'm in the minority here who WANTS D.Rose to come back. Not because I like the crybaby or his crybaby a$$ team, but because I want to beat them AT FULL STRENGTH! No excuses.

If Rose comes back they wont be at full strength he wont be 100% until next year. I really don't care a win is a win they all count the same.

Yea, he hasn't been as delicate as he is with Pau, but he's been pretty empathetic. Which is strange, for Kobe. In fact, the comments Kobe had to say about Dwight and his shoulder were significantly nicer/more understanding than what D'Antoni and Nash had to say.

But I also wonder if it's just Kobe realizing that, yes..Dwight is a big baby, but the guy needs to feel like his teammates like him in order to play well, and the Lakers need him to play well in order to get themselves together...especially with Pau out for over a month.

I want him to come back because I like his game, the NBA is not the same without him.

Ya, only 4 titles. They suck.

That was my initial thought, but then again the last of those 4 was in 2007, so for the past 5 years that's actually been the case. To a point.

I would love for the Pacers to have had the Spurs last 5 years. I moved down here in 1998 and have experienced something few sets of fans have ever experienced. 15 years of being a legit challenger for the title or a deep playoff run and getting to see 4 of the best basketball players of my lifetime play extensively.

I want nothing more for my fellow Pacer fans to experience the feeling of celebrating an NBA championship one time.

I think Kobe has come to realize that basketball is an important part of his life, but not the most important thing in his life.

Ever since him and his wife got back together, he's been happier and more detached from all the drama surrounding the Lakers.

So if Toronto keeps winning and Milwaukee keeps losing Toronto has a chance to make it to the playoffs, Toronto Vs Miami could be interesting to watch.

Seems like the 2nd tier teams: Nuggets, bulls, pacers, and warriors, are struggling a bit before the AS game.
