Bulls injury updates
With Bulls training camp officially under way, we can finally start really thinking about the upcoming season in real terms. There’s been plenty of concern about the dismantling of the Bench Mob — which is reasonable — but the more important subject is the health of the team’s core players. Derrick Rose. Joakim Noah.

Derrick Rose doesn’t want you to text while driving
Derrick Rose has joined Illinois Governor Pat Quinn and Secretary of State Jesse White in a new AT&T campaign to keep people from texting while driving. To that end, Rose is featured in a new public service announcement:
Offensive value and the Bulls
Andres Alvarez of The Wages of Wins Journal recently published a post titled Top Offenses and Top Offensive Players (which I discovered via TrueHoop). Alvarez used the Wins Produced metric to rate last season’s best offenses and offensive players.

Derrick Rose and Adidas are publishing a six-part video series on YouTube called #thereturn. In essence, it’s the story of Rose’s rehab…his mental and physical battle to return from the ACL tear that ended his season and the Bulls’ hopes of contending for a title. And not simply to return.

Will Derrick Rose leave Chicago someday? Stan Van Gundy thinks he might.
LeBron James abandoned Cleveland to join forces with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami. Steve Nash spent years hating the Lakers before heading to L.A. for some championship piggybacking. That’s the NBA world we are now living in. And it’s fair to wonder: Could that be Derrick Rose in some dark future? Former Magic […]
Derrick Rose talks about Derrick Rose (and other topics)
