Knicks · O.T D. Rose won't recruit for for Reinsdorf's Bulls (page 1)

Here’s ESPN Chicago reporting on Bulls point guard Derrick Rose, who for whatever reason isn’t interested in urging other good players to join his team:
Derrick Rose says he will not recruit for the Bulls

Chicago Bulls vice president John Paxson said Wednesday he would never ask Derrick Rose to recruit and doesn’t believe the star guard’s reluctance to do so will prevent the team from landing free agents.

“I personally would not have been comfortable doing that as a player. That was me, so I expect and appreciate where Derrick is coming from,” Paxson said on “The Waddle & Silvy Show” on ESPN Chicago 1000.

“I would never tell a player, I don’t think [owner] Jerry Reinsdorf or [general manager] Gar [Forman] would tell a player, ‘Look, you have to do this.’ If a player wants to do it, great. If he doesn’t, that’s his choice.”

Paxson said players being around Rose during offseason workouts offers an indirect way to sell them on the Bulls…

“I don’t recruit. If anyone wants to play with me, I don’t mind playing with, it could be anyone in the NBA, but as far as recruiting, I never did and never will,” Rose told rappler.com, a social news network.

I know that Noah hated that the team got rid of Deng, so I wondered if he and Rose privately want out of Chicago ?

I was wondering the same thing. I think dent was loved and respected by his teammates and the coaching staff.

This has been Rose's stance as early as 2010 when LeBron was available. I wouldn't read to deeply into this.

Well Noah wasn't to pleased to see Deng go and would have probably hoped Rose would leave instead of Deng.

Not doing much to improve his damaged image with the increasingly impatient Chicago fans...
