Now that the 69<sup>th season of NBA is just days away from officially starting, rumors and news about the teams are beginning to sound off in full blast.
One of the most prominent news about Chicago Bulls is Derrick Rose's condition to play full time for the upcoming 2014-2015 NBA season.
Rose was sidelined for the past two seasons, and recorded a disappointing 10 games combined due to two major knee injuries.
In an interview with ESPN after his impressive stint during the FIBA World Basketball Championship series where the USA Team defended their championship title, Rose said that he is very confident that he can bring the team to the Finals.
"I try my hardest to stay away from the predictions. But we know we have an opportunity ahead of us. It may not be this year, it may not be the next year or whatever, but I know that we have one in us," Rose stated. "I know I'm going to win a championship soon so I'm not worried about that."
With the current line-up of players in the team, including former Lakers star Pau Gasol and All-Star center Joakim Noah, the Chicago Bulls may have a shot at the championship now that Rose is back in action.
On the other hand, the Dallas Mavericks managed to get Chandler Parsons off from the Houston Rockets this season. The former All-Star player reportedly inked a three-year $46 million deal to help the team reach a spot at the Playoffs.
"I've always been a team guy, and I'm not trying to come here and get mine and be the go-to guy necessarily. I'm going to do whatever it takes for our team to win as many games as possible," Parsons reported said.
Parsons is also hoping to increase his playing average now that he is with the Mavericks this season.
On a side note, Parsons personal relationships had been making the rounds online as his name is being linked to "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star Kendall Jenner.
