Derrick Rose returned to Chicago with the Knicks but didn’t play a minute for the fifth time in a row. Tom Thibodeau changed the rotations and this situation pushed Rose more and more towards trade rumors.
Derrick Rose spoke about it right at the United Center: “If we were losing, you would probably pay attention to these rumors. But I like to win. I am a winner. I like being in a locker room where the vibes are winning. I never want to be in crisis. Or just get off because I’m not playing.”
