Now that the reigning NBA MVP resides in Chicago instead of Cleveland the Bulls fans have been hearing at the water coolers and on the message boards about how he’ll be the next hometown MVP to be leaving for greener pastures. The thought process is that the Bulls have committed so much money to Boozer/Noah/Deng that Rose will eventually want to go and play with other superstars like the Miami Trio or Carmelo/Amare/Star to Be Named Later. But Derrick Rose isn’t LeBron James and even though there are some valid concerns, hopefully this will ease a mind or two on the future of the Bulls.

Unlike LeBron, I really believe that Rose has that old school superstar mentality of being the star and going to war with your own guys instead of teaming up with other stars. With Dirk and the Mavericks beating the Heat and winning the NBA title, it shows that the way of one superstar surrounded by players who can compliment that star is still a formula that can win a title. While I’m sure that the Heat will eventually win at least one title and if the Knicks add Chris Paul or Deron Williams they will probably win at least one in the next 10 years too, I fully expect the Thunder and the Bulls to both at least win a title also. Taking that and adding it to the fact it’s going to be much harder to get three superstars on one team (most likely) and the point that Rose will have to find himself on a team with other transcendent players isn’t valid.
