I get we signed Rose for the vet min and he isn't costing us much. That's not my problem. My issue is I think there are actually LESS negative players out there that could be had for minimum $ and at least bring one of the two skills we so desperately need (outside shooting or defense). . I just think he's a terrible fit for us. But hey, he's one of Thibs' boys so we'll see.

None of it matters until they move Target Center off of that old indian burial ground. I fully expect this team to be worse off this year than last. Who knows though, maybe I'll be wrong once again and they'll not suck nearly as much as expected.

Who are our vet min alternatives? I'm just not seeing it yet but maybe there were other legit options for us. I have no problem looking at the higher risk potential. Rose's best play from the last few years surpasses what we're paying him. His worst play is probably spot on with the vet min.

I hope Rose contributes, but you gotta love Jabari Parker's response to a reporter who kind of put down Rose...

I do love his response! Makes me like Parker even more. By the way, if Parker stays healthy, he'll be an allstar.
