Very frustrating, but the silver lining is this is pretty much the same timeline he was out for last season. Just be healthy in April plz.

Hopefully Rose isn't expecting a lot of money in 2017 because at this rate no one is giving it to him.

Ehh, Chicago will give it to him. People here still talk like he's a top 10 player. It's really quite sad.

Rose is going to put that organization in a very tough situation. These NBA contracts are the worst to actually find relief on if the player doesn't play or even live up to the deal. It makes it even worse than MLB given there is a cap.

Matt Barnes is one of the crazier dudes in the NBA, too bad no video of this is available.

Don't really blame him either. Butler's a guy who's had to work for everything, and when he looks at Rose, maybe the most athletically gifted guard in the league(b4 injuries), be lazy it's gotta eat him up.

Rose sucks honestly. Butler is simply a better player. Rose belongs in China.

Idk why, but I might buy his book. He seems like he's lived an interesting life.

Correct. It's incredibly lazy to try to blame his issues on the Kardashians.

Starting NBA 5 voted on by NBA GMs:

PG: Curry
SG: Harden
SF: LBJ
PF: Davis
C: Marc Gasol

http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/239572/Harden-Curry-LeBron-Davis-Gasol-Voted-By-GMs-As-Best-At-Each-Position

I actually think Harden would ruin this team being a ball hogger, shooting 40% from the field and flopping all over the field. Much rather have a guy like Klay Thompson get the nod as I think he could hit the spot up 3s, play defense, and not be a ball stopper on offense.

Wouldn't mind playing Curry at the 2 (Obvious defense liability) and playing Westbrook or CP3, or KI at the PG spot.
