@WojVerticalNBA: Sources: There are team officials, teammates and close associates unclear of reason for Derrick Rose's absence for Knicks-Pelicans at MSG.
I don't like Rose as a person or as a bball player but I hope he's alright. It's the 3rd quarter adn they still don't know what happened to him? This is very strange.
I don't believe he did it on purpose. Smth has happened. Accident, arrest smth. They couldn't reach him on the phone and he didn't show up at all for warmups. As much as he hated being benched he would show up comeon.
@WojVerticalNBA: Sources: At tip-off, Knicks still hadn't been in contact with Derrick Rose. Unclear if they've reached him -- or kept trying -- during game.
@WojVerticalNBA: It is very possible Rose could have a legitimate reason for missing game --- family-related or otherwise -- but that's yet to be determined.
I can't pinpoint exactly when, but Derrick Rose lost his mind while in Chicago. He went from what seemed to be a humble, grounded person to a selfish, delusional jerk Bulls fans wanted gone. I knew teaming up with another selfish player like Melo would be a disaster for the Knicks. They need to turn the clock forward by dumping both guys building around Porzingis. The first step is cutting loose the guy who brought it all together: PJ.
How about when he refused to help the bulls recruit players because they should want to play with him without him asking lol
