Big blow to the Bulls in my opinion.  He also won't make up for Iggy leaving.  This is a very weird development, although par for the course for a player who is on his 6th team in 9 years.

It's not as if there was any chance of him returning to Chicago.

I agree

He was better on the Bulls and its the Bull's lost
and him signing with the Nuggets won't do anything, he won't fill the void left by Iggy...

but then again as long as Nate gets paid

I don't think the Bulls lose anything. Thibs clearly wasn't comfortable with him and Teague needs to sink or swim in the backup PG role anyways.

Chicago will be better off without him. The Bulls are shaping up brilliantly heading into next season. Really impressed with them. They look the best equipped team to take down Miami to my eyes.

Not sure what Denver are doing. They are already have a better backup PG in Andre Miller. It feels like they are just making moves to make them. JJ Hickson and Nate Robinson. No need for either one of them. They need to make some trades to restructure their roster. Too much redundancy.

He was in talks with Dalla?! The Monta Haveitall / Nate Rob back court would have been captivating.

Chicago is getting Rose back.  They'll be fine.

Denver, on the other hand, is going nowhere.  What in the hell have they done to a team that had its most successful (regular) season ever last year?  The coach, GM, and best player are gone, and they've made some really questionable signings.  Very bizarre.

I think they'll barely make the playoffs, and then get swept by Houston in the first round.

Where do you think Houston finishes in the West?  I see three teams that I think will have a better regular season than them.

Is Andre Miller still on the Nuggets?  Does this mean they're gonna play Lawson, Miller, and Robinson significant minutes in that rotation?

They signed Randy Foye too. A lot of undersized backcourts.

A Bulls team where they are relying on Nate Robsinson that much on offense was never really legit.

Rose is probably an okay substitute.
