Chad Ford: Exum > Burke right now; rookie player that's most positively surprising

Trey / Exum conundrum vs Chicago's situation with D.Rose.


I'd take our problem any day.

I don't know about that. I know it doesn't look good for Rose. But are you really saying you would rather have Exum and Burke over Rose? I wouldn't. I don't think there is a GM in the NBA that would rather have Exum and Burke. I would gladly take my chances on Rose. If that trade offer was proposed, I would take it in a heartbeat.

Obviously I'm not a doctor, but I would rather take a punt on a healthy, talented, improving 19 year old Exum than D. Rose who has had a history of recurring injuries, and who relies athleticism to be effective, yes.

Well... the question is really - do you think Rose can be anywhere near the level of his play prior to injuries and whether or not you think you think his injuries will continue to amass? And if yes, do you think the chance of Exum becoming a star player is better than the chance of Rose staying healthy? He's had 2 serious injuries in the span of 2 years and ever since he returned he's been having those small ones that take him out of games constantly. He's already missed half of the Bulls games because of injuries and in 2 of the other 4 he's got new injuries. It's unclear how serious the newest one is. They said he might need MRI scan tomorrow.

For me the choice would be much harder.
