Is rose worth picking up?

 

Yes, as long as he's healthy. Ride him until the wheels fall off.

 

Although durability questions obviously makes him riskier in a weekly format.

[checkers 34]

He’s as fragile as you can get ..

[THE_MAGIC_MAN 726]

i want the wheels to keep rolling for the whole season. i keep telling myself to temper expectations but f***kk it. I want drose healthy for 70+ games

[Ace_King 577]

Rose balling again.

[DZaak 159]

I picked up Rose before his 50 pt game.  I also own Teague. 

 

So Rose is a great handcuff. I can't tell if I should keep him when Teague comes back though.

[hornrimmed_rambis 1,626]

Who is this guy?

[Stallion 278]

This is unbelievable.

 

I only have one share out of 8 odd leagues, but I think he should be the starter even when Teague is back. Looks like the Rose of old, except with a 3 ball.

Well JaVale McGee is putting up 2nd round value. So why not? 

[Cdub2k 1,242]

I don't own him in fantasy but I am happy to see D-Rose showing us what he used to be in these little glimpses. Sometimes you just gotta sit back and admire a good game from a pure basketball perspective instead of a fantasy perspective

No one.  At the end of the day, it's Derrick Rose.  Teague isn't going away.

 

Hooray if you got him off waivers but no one trading for the dude.

Who on the wire has more upside? I want to see how this plays out. Even when Teague comes back Rose and Rose goes to the bench should have a major role in Thib's short rotation.

He's not sitting rose if he keeps playing like this, it's not like steph curry was ahead of him

[jrmintz 85]

Happy to see him rejuvenated this season. I hope he stays healthy so we can watch this awesome story unfold throughout the season.

 

Nobody wants to logically put their trust in Rose due to his history, but deep down you know you wanna.

True. Plus Thibs has a soft spot for Rose.

 

Rose is an injury risk, given his history, but he is a player we acquired for free. 

[THE_MAGIC_MAN 726]

got a steal tonight! 

 

I noticed tyus jones was in for the last 3-4 minutes instead of rose. Derrick went out after playing 35mins. no reports of any injury but curious why he got pulled.

Facial contusion, he got hit by KAT.

 

How much does the Butler trade help him? The Wolves got deeper but Butler was a high usage star player. 

[ponziacs 42]

Derrick Rose is averaging 39 points a game this season when playing in games without Jimmy Butler.

[jrmintz 85]

Expect more of Rose without Butler.

They added 2 useful players, I think we need to see how this shakes out. I think how much Teague does or doesn't play will have a lot more impact on Rose.

Thibs has a shrine dedicated to rose in his house. Derrick's usage is safe.

[Markillies 46]

Did he get hurt? Why does he put on an ice pack on his leg?

[Ace_King 577]

Any word on how much time he is expected to miss?

[THE_MAGIC_MAN 726]

First it was ankle soreness now it's the knee. This is expected.. he's playing north of 35mins a game. for how crippling his injuries were and him to come back to do this is really somethin'. dog gone miracle if I say so myself. These sound like maintenance days to me; 1-2 days is better than a long term injury, right?
