Derrick Rose has proven a lot in his young career despite injury setbacks and thinking that the youngest player to win the NBA Most Valuable Player award would be traded is ridiculous in the eyes of many.
Of course, there is that daunting thought that the culture in Chicago in moment is that anyone is dispensable and you start to think of wacky ideas including trading away the hometown hero for a supposed better future.
Rose health is a concern and while he did prove his detractors wrong by coming back in time for the recently conclude NBA playoffs, his recurring knee problems are put into question. How long can Rose stay healthy? Better yet, can D-Rose ever complete an entire NBA season again?
Last week, there was that crazy rumors that Derrick Rose could end up with the Boston Celtics. Though it may seem unimaginable, this week's rumor could be worse. Would the Bulls trade Rose to the Denver Nuggets?
The current rumor pitches a trade which could see Rose head to the Nuggets and the Bulls getting Wilson Chandler and Ty Lawson. A two-for-one deal seems fair but knowing who Derrick Rose is makes the whole scenario nothing but rubbish.
Lawson and Chandler are good talent but somehow their value doesn't seem to pan up against Rose.
Of course the Bulls could be confident with it seeing that they can opt to focus on Jimmy Butler who is looking for a short-term deal. Also, is no secret that Butler and Rose don't see eye-to-eye since their game 6 loss which could force the Bulls to choose between the two stars.
Would it all make sense to trade D-Rose to the Nuggets or any other team for that matter? Rose may be playing with some handicaps but he has proven that he still has a wide array of repertoire to give.
But if ever he would be traded, it will most likely be tied up to his durability, his knees which have now become a serious concern especially with Rose' style of play.
