In the world of overpaying for guys, you can’t really argue with this one. He has exceeded everyone’s expectations in just three years.
The reigning most valuable player’s attitude always has been: Join the Bulls if you want. If not, we’ll try to beat you.
“It’s just me, man,” Rose said. “If it’s not coming from the front office, you’re not going to hear me saying anything about recruiting anyone. The city speaks for itself, especially for basketball. If you want to come here, opportunity is here. The front office is great. Our fans are the best.
“I wouldn’t trade my teammates for anything in the world. Our front office does a great job picking guys with the right attitude. They just want to win.”
Rose will win on the bottom line soon. General manager Gar Forman said the formality of Rose’s five-year, $94 million extension is being finalized with Rose’s agents, Arn Tellem and B.J. Armstrong.
