NBA Fans should be happy to hear that some of the players are still hopeful their season will start on time in spite of the current lockout situation. The Chicago Bulls organization should be happy to hear that Derrick Rose at this point isn’t seriously considering going overseas to play regardless:
Rose was intrigued by the recent news that New Jersey Nets guard Deron Williams(notes) has decided to play professionally in Turkey during the lockout, but Rose says he’s not seriously considering the option yet. He plans to continue to work out in Los Angeles and is contemplating playing in the local Drew League, a pro-am league.
“I’m trying to stay positive,” Rose said. “I don’t think negative. I don’t think I’m going overseas or anything yet. …You just hope our season starts on time. That’s the only thing I can hope for.”
