I saw the documentary was tabbed to come out on this day.  I know there were a lot of people anxious to see it; I wasn’t.  Hey, I loved Derrick Rose as much as anybody.  I supported him until the very end.  But now that he’s gone, he’s gone.  I wish him the best, but I don’t want to see him back with the Bulls.

I saw everybody talking about this clip… about when he got traded to the Knicks.  That was a rough time for all Bulls fans, and no, not because he got traded, but kind of what that symbolized.  That was the end of that window for the Bulls.  It would all fall apart.  The team I thought would bring home number 7.  I can’t blame Derrick for the injury/injuries that single handedly slammed that window shut stuck at 6.  Yeah, I was mad with a lot of things he said; things that made me believe he could have played in the playoffs that year, but chose not to.  That love for Rose turned to hate…  the hate didn’t last, but the love didn’t return.  But like I said, I do wish him well.

How did the cameras just happen to catch the moment he got traded?  That’s the question I kept asking myself when I finally watched that clip.  You want to tell me they were that lucky with it?  Sure, the emotion did seem somewhat genuine, but really?  Maybe I’m off base; maybe I need to read and watch more about it, but it’s hard for me to believe there wasn’t a staged element there.  And to think that, just makes me more sure about my feelings about Rose and the whole situation.  Because I remember not too long after that trade, as he talked as a Knick preseason about the “super team” he was on in NYC, and how he felt so much more love in New York than he ever felt in Chicago.  Yeah, those words kind of ended it for me.  More love in New York than you ever felt in Chicago?  Nah bro.  That’s OK though…

So the hate was unleashed, the hate that clashed with all the love.  One of the many statements that helped make me glad that he wasn’t part of the Bulls any longer.  It sucked though, really did.  What would Derrick Rose contribute to this team if he came back?  He’d be better than Dunn right?  And if we don’t get Ja in the draft, he could be a starter… But do we really think he and whoever we get in the draft will help push us over the top?  Is that what is going to get us on the path to #7?  Don’t think so.  It’s more like, the Bulls would do that for all the wrong reasons… sign another Chicago guy… hey, I’m all for that trust me, but Wade, Parker, and now possibly Rose at this point in his career?  Trying to put fans in the seats… trying to win some points with the fans that think GarPax are dipshits…  a pure move for positive media coverage, more attention for the Bulls and this rekindling of a flame.  Hey, I was drinking all that “The Return” flavored kool aid, trust me.  But I’m not thirsty any more… at least not for that flavor.

Like I said, I do wish him well, wherever he goes.  I don’t know if I’ll ever watch the full documentary… maybe.  Maybe it will bring back those feelings… of the love for that Bulls team that never did it; getting pissed off about that.  Or about that love for that kid from Chicago they called Pooh…. and how that soured…  love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight…
