Oh you mean the one where he let his group of friends gangbang his GF? That one, or so I've read.

Get Clark and call it a day. Rose could be a major distraction if things does not go his way and I rather not have that. I do think he has enough game to be a contributor but not enough to take that risk. |

If anyone could understand that, it's Laker fans. We had a pretty damn good player on our squad who went through his own extremely high profile sexual assault case. |

Lonzo to play 30-35, JC to play 5-10 and Ennis to play whatever left 5-15.
I can't imagine Rose being happy with 10-15 minutes. He's a volume scorer, not a microwave one. |

Well Derrick also just didn't show up for a game.
http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/18440024/new-york-knicks-derrick-rose-unexplained-absence-returns-team
Like straight disappeared, folks didn't hear from him until the next day. I was a massive Rose fan so much so that I routinely called the Bulls "my East Conference team" during the height of the Rose/Noah days, but dude has issues nowadays. He was a mess towards the end of his Chicago tenure, and he was a mess on NYK. Granted, both of those organizations are a mess, but we have been too. We're just now getting things back together and we don't need that kind of nonsense on our squad right now (or ever, really, but particularly not now). _________________ #IStillBelieveTaurean |

Yes, it was during the trial until the girl settled out of court. Rose's trial is already over. |

Half of the Lakers jerseys we've retired were worn by players who put themselves in those types of situations. |

Ehhhh. It's most definitely a Magic type of move. Washed up big name. I was thinking about a week ago how I was surprised the Lakers haven't been connected to DRose.
Rose put up okay numbers last year but he has tunnel vision to the max, cant shoot, and doesn't defend. None the less, for the room exception, I wouldnt complain. _________________ "He's a Zen master, so he can speak to you, and he doesn't need a microphone; you can hear him in your head, 'Ron, don't shoot, don't shoot.'

You really think Lonzo is going to or should play 30-35 mpg.... _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

Very true. And perhaps you're being conservative with your estimate. |

What's wrong with Tyler Ennis?
Isn't Rose broken down? And will a former MVP who's supposed to still be in his prime but seemingly breaking down prematurely take a back seat to a rookie pg?
I would assume (hope) the FO knows something we don't but on the surface doesn't look good to me. |

If they do sign him, I would love to see a press conference. Just to hear talk about how Rose is the type of character they envision when they took on this job. The culture they're trying to build, the character, it all screams Derrick Rose doesn't it?
A lot are saying he's not a good fit, but I"m actually okay with it. A back-up PG that has a different style than the starter is a good thing to mix things up. But I'm equally interested to see how Maginka will steer the conference to avoid sounding like hypocrites. |

"Well, you know I like to tell stories. You see as you all may know, one of my clients was Kobe Bryant, and .. we really learned a lot from each other, when it was the summer of 2007 we made a gamble, and it really paid off. But yeah, Kobe and I are obviously close, our families know each other, and sometimes we vacation together. This particular vacation took place in Spain. I don't know if any of you are familiar with Spain, but it's a beautiful place to visit, Madrid, and all these wonderful places.
We had actually been to Spain, quite a few times, but this time we were actually in Pamplona and.. I don't know if you guys are familiar with their customs, you see out here we have the 4th of July, but in Pamplona their celebration is called Encierro. But out here they call it The Running of the Bulls.
And uh.. Kobe was interested to see it. You know Kobe, he was always looking for an edge in competition and he had studied animals before, and I can gather that for some reason he felt there'd be insight in seeing the Bulls run so I wasn't going to argue with him. I couldn't argue with him, because he insisted on bringing me too. (pause for laughter).
But, we were there, and of course you can participate in the race, or you can stand at a safe location. So obviously, being his agent and looking out for the safety of my client, I wasn't going to let him run with the Bulls. I said "Kobe.. this may be the one Bull you don't want to stare down." (pause for laughter)
So he.. begrudgingly.. took a stand to watch in attendance. And we saw the Bulls just trying to run down the people and they were trying to escape, and the formation the Bulls would take looked something like an NBA fast break almost, so I said "They're running like the Showtime Lakers." and he said "Yeah, same rules as the 80s too." And we both laughed.
But... you see so many of them they all can kind of be redundant but, one Bull really stood out. He had fallen earlier during the race and he sort of, lagged behind the pack a bit, we didn't know if he was hurt or not, but he sort of got up slow. And some guy, decided that was his moment to try to be brave. So he got up and he taunted the Bull who could, scarcely stand a second ago, but when that Bull saw the target ahead of it, and saw the challenge ahead after the man had counted him out. He charged at him, with as much speed as the other bulls before it and nearly took the guy down had the guy not jumped over the side to a safe distance but the Bull had caught his pants and took them with him till they fell off.
But Kobe looked at that bull and went "That's me." and we sort of laughed, because you know, he was at a point in his career where people had counted him out and he was looking to charge through them in the same way. But we came away from that thinking that, you know it doesn't matter if the once young Bull falls down, it's about if they still have that gleam in their eye when they get up, and see the challenge in front of them, and if that gleam is still there, no matter the obstacle, they will push to charge through it, just to prove you wrong.
When we saw Derrick Rose last year, we saw that same Bull, we saw that same gleam in his eyes to prove his doubters wrong, and we saw him trying to go through anyone that didn't think he was going to get back up again, even given the circumstances. And that's something you need on your team, if you're gonna Run the bulls, and that's what we intend on doing this year as a team to other teams, so naturally, we needed that one experienced Bull that people counted out, only to find him waiting to run through them the moment they'd given up on him.
That Bull, is Derrick Rose, and we expect him to do just that against any team he plays against, and in whatever lineup he's in. When he came to us in the meeting and we laid out what we envisioned our role was for him, a lot of players that were once in the position he is in would have ended the meeting there. But that meeting lasted 3 hours, and at the end of it all he looked at Luke, Magic and me and said "I just want to ball." and once he left that office, I looked at Magic and said, 'There's our Bull.'." _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:
