BJ being blamed by media for Rose's non- return

If Rose had a competitive bone in his body, it should've killed him to watch last night's game. Players play.
 




I really don't think that any kind of a grudge between BJ and Reinsdorf would affect his advice to a client in regards to his well being. It's always nice to find consperiatorial things to just be a topic starter. The final call is Rose's and his alone. I highly highly doubt that if he wanted to get out there and BJ was in his ear telling him to hold out and not play that he would go along with BJ or any other agents advice along those lines. That's quite a reach.
 


Doubt it is BJ.

Reinsdorf has a history of not letting his star players return at the end the season for an abbreviated playoff run. Reinsdorf is a d-bag and it wouldn't surprise me if this Chicago media guy is a Reinsdorf media guy.
 


If the owner isn't willing to go over the luxury tax line to make a serious run at the title, why should Rose rush back for the team? He needs to look out for himself, his only chance of winning a title is hoping his prime outlasts LeBron's, reaggrevating his knee is not going to help that.

The rumors I've heard (just through message boards and ****) is that Adidas isn't too happy with him sitting out right now.
