Derrick Rose Reportedly in Talks with Bulls Regarding Return to Chicago

As the Chicago Bulls prepare for a rebuilding phase starting with the 2017-18 season, free agent Derrick Rose could make a return to the team. 

Per USA Today's Sam Amick, Rose's agent has had discussions with the Bulls about a potential reunion with the former NBA MVP. 

ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and Brian Windhorst reported Thursday that Rose was in "serious talks" to join the Cleveland Cavaliers on a one-year deal. 

In addition to the Cavs, ESPN's Ramona Shelburne and Chris Haynes reported Rose was going to have a meeting with the Los Angeles Lakers. 

Rose spent the first eight years of his career with the Bulls. He was a three-time All-Star and was an integral part of the franchise's resurgence, including leading the NBA with a 62-20 record and a trip to the Eastern Conference Finals during the 2010-11 season. 

Just 28 years old, Rose averaged 18 points and 4.4 assists in 64 games with the Knicks last season.
