Take Derrick Rose
So I come home to find out the Chicago Bulls, despite having a very low odds, actually winning the lottery. Here’s my thinking on this. The Bulls have a roster full of guys who can play decent for someone else, but together they pretty much stink. Ben Gordon and Kirk Hinrich should be traded…
