  1. Rose is definitely contemplating retirement. If he was chasing a championship he would definitely have a great chance with the Grizzlies this season! Plus he is beloved beyond measure here in Memphis! Respect the decision. I kind of feel he is getting out of the way for Scottie Pippen Jr. Lets GOOOOOOOO!

  2. I love rose, but besides him playing 40+ games, this was best case scenario if he's leaving with us. SPJ is the obvious answer. I never wanna lose someone and have them destroy us on another team, and I can definitely see that with him

  3. The timing of this seems odd for sure, but I thought this move was going to happen eventually. I personally think Pippen has showed that he can be better than Rose at this point in his career.

  4. I've been waiting for this move since he first came to the team. I know they were looking for a mentor for Ja but outside of that he was not a positive for the team. Now his space can be used and if a two way moves up it creates anoter space there.

  5. Memphis Tiger legend?
    You mean the player that was able to play because someone else took his entrance test and then missed the free throw that would have given them the championship that would have been later taken away.
