Bulls Not Worried if Rose Plays for Team USA

But tough questions need to be asked, specifically how NBA teams will react to their players — who are being paid a great deal of money — wanting to participate in international play going forward?

For the Bulls and Derrick Rose, who’s coming off his second season-ending knee injury, that hasn’t been questioned. (Bulls GM Gar) Forman was asked if there was any reservation in having Rose participate.

“No, not at all,” he said. “I think it’s a real positive that he gets an opportunity to do this and do it against the level of competition that he’s doing it against.’’
