Bulls GM talks Rose

The speculation has always been that Bulls guard Derrick Rose would be able to return from his torn ACL around the time that the NBA breaks for All-Star Weekend in February.  Recently Bulls GM Gar Forman spoke of the steps Rose will take in his return.

“There is no end game in sight,’’ Forman said “The next step was to get him on the floor where he’s participating in practice and contact activities. So we’re not skipping steps. Once we feel comfortable with that and our doctors feel comfortable, then we’ll go to the next step. It’s not about us being evasive with our answers...Everything has been planned out, in detail. That’s why we’re taking this step-by-step and not skipping steps. There’s a process in place and we’ve never wanted to jump ahead.....We want to do what’s right for Derrick, we want to do what’s right for our team,’’ Forman added. “The goal all along is to do that. To take the process step-by-step, to not skip steps, and when he’s 100 percent ready to play, he’ll play.’’
