That was the day GM Gar Forman traded the former MVP to the New York Knicks. Thus ending the best post-Michael Jordan era in Chicago despite Rose still only being 28-years old at the time. For the next several seasons, he bounced around the league from New York to Cleveland to Minnesota, to Detroit. In 2020, the Knicks brought him back. He ended up being a major catalyst for their first playoff run since 2013. Not only that, but he played well in the quarterfinals matchup against Atlanta. He averaged 22.8 points through the first four games of the series including a vintage 30-point explosion in Game 3.Chicago Bulls could right some wrongs by signing Rose
To this day, many believe the team made a mistake trading him away. While he was never quite the star he was before the string of knee injuries he suffered starting in 2012, he's proven he can still be a quality basketball player. The Bulls would be giving him a chance to finish out his career at home while boosting their point guard position in the process. The issue with this kind of move is length. Rose turns 33-years old in October. It's a safe assumption he doesn't have long left before his true decline begins. He'll represent at best a temporary solution for the Chicago Bulls. They will probably have to revisit the position in the not too distant future. Especially with no 1st round picks this year or in 2023. While bringing him back would be a great story and immediate help, it won't last long.That is why they must handle their resources carefully.
Overpaying to get Rose because they missed out on somebody like Ball is not how they're going to get this train back on the tracks. Still, if Karnisovas does end up going this direction? A lot of people are going to be happy. Most likely Rose included.Comments
