Chicago Bulls Derrick Rose couldn’t wait to speak on his upcoming 2017 NBA free agency.
Rose spoke on the money that was being handed out this summer, and knows his time is coming.
“I want to be here,” Rose said. “But when you talk about that much money, all you can do is prepare for it.
“All the money that’s being handed out. I know my day is coming.”
However, NBA All-star Jimmy Butler had his thoughts on Rose and his 2017 free agency chatter.
Butler on Rose’s contract comments: "He can talk about unicorns and rainbows for all I care. Just help us win some basketball games.’’

Butler and Rose when healthy make one of the best backcourts in the NBA and the Bulls will need both to reach their goal of the NBA Finals.
Unfortunately today Rose suffered an orbital fracture to his face after allegedly being struck with an elbow from teammate Taj Gibson during practice. It’s day one of practice and Rose can’t catch a break.
Just like Butler said, winning games will determine Rose’s next contract.
