stupid amount of trades at the last minute.

Already reported on thread, but these
Brandon Knight to Suns
Isiah Thomas to Celtics
Reggie Jackson to Detroit.
MCW, Miles Plumlee, Tyler Ennis to Bucks. (which makes no sense)
Afflao to Trail Blazers
Sessions to Wizards for Andre Miller.

Read in an article in SB Nation that if they remove the meniscus it's only 6-8 weeks. But a repair means

ONLY. And that's not including another setback to him getting back his speed...cutting...jump...timing...

Forget it. It's Cavs or Hawks out of the East. Possibly the Bullets too.

So question for you guys: Didn't Westbrook go through 3 knee surgeries as well? Were they the same as Rose's injuries...?

Yes he had a torn meniscus and they repaired it. Wade had one in college so yeah he has a monster career but he even complained about it and it's lead to recent injuries. Meniscus helps with the impact of walking in the knee. It wears out regardless but ultimately doc's theory. I'm telling you read that SB Nation article. That's where I got my info.

Thanks, Doomie.

So, now that I have no NBA season to hope for...I guess it's hockey all the way...too bad Patrick Kane is out for the next 10 weeks with his broken collarbone.

Once the playoff starts, Western Conference battles will be epic, probably crazier than last year.

East is dead.

Yes the West games will be sick as hell. They should take the 9 and 10 seed from their and throw them to the East Although it will be fun to see what happens with Cleveland, ATL, and Washington. And hopefully my Heat can crawl in

That's a great story! Interesting that KD wanted to be as good as him when they were kids.

Wow...so, there is hope. Some.

The tear was not as extensive and so, Rose can be back before the regular season ends.

Just in time to be ruled out for the playoffs after he gets re-injured in his first game back.

Rose probably needs to revamp his game. His body can't do the cuts, slashes and reckless plays he's known for. Look at wade, he and rose's game were pretty similar when first started. now wade is more of a setup shooter after a couple of surgeries.

They bought out his contract and he's a free agent.


Did I not call it?!

The Bulls are reportedly interested in signing Nate Robinson - Blog a Bull

The Bulls have reportedly had "exploratory conversations" with Robinson, and the 30-year-old point guard is said to have a "strong desire" to return to Chicago, according to Real GM. The Bulls have had an open roster spot all season. Could Nate really be on his way back?

Even and Kobe and MJ did the same. Unfortunately for Rose he has to do it sooner in his career.

I'm surprised they even let Robinson go after that 2013 game where he almost broke Jordan's record of 24 points in a Playoff 4th QTR.

He's always been a good player who heats up insanely fast if you get him involved. Crazy how he hasn't been able to really stay in 1 place beyond NY considering his best role is a backup PG who can play just as good as most others for 10-12 minutes a game.

The front-office apparently has said they are not pursuing a PG at the moment for the Bulls.

Possibly due to them expecting Rose back by Playoff time? I've heard 4-6 weeks.
