Chicago Bulls Derrick Rose should be ready for camp according to GM
By Mike Dyce
Chicago Bulls are eagerly waiting the return of their star and MVP Derrick Rose. Bulls general manager Gar Forman confidently said that Rose will be ready to go on the first day of training camp.
“I don’t see any reason where he wouldn’t be,” Forman told Bulls TV, via ESPN. “He continues to make great progress. He’s had a good summer of work. He’s been in L.A. He’s training on a regular basis. He feels good, he’s looked good. He’s had a couple trips with adidas where he’s traveled overseas so everything’s real positive on the Derrick front.”
The Bulls preseason schedule is a little hectic with a pair of road games before heading to Brazil to face off against the Washington Wizards.
“It will be a little hectic, but I think it’s good for our team,” head coach Tom Thibodeau said. “We’re looking forward to going over there. Being on the road early makes it a little different for us because we won’t have time in between to really settle down to go over there. We’re only going to be over there for four days. But I think it will be a very positive experience. I like it for team-building reasons, particularly early in the season. And then once we get back from Rio, we’ll be home for a while so hopefully we can get our legs under us and continue to build and develop and be ready for the season. We have a very tough schedule and we’re going to have to be ready for it.”
