Mitch Lawrence of the New York Daily News is reporting that Bulls star point guard Derrick Rose would prefer playing with Kevin Love over Carmelo Anthony.
Rose reportedly believes Love is more of a team player.
According to sources close to Kevin Love, Rose’s preference is for the Bulls to work out a deal as soon as possible for Minnesota’s All-Star forward because he sees Love as more of a team player than Anthony. Chicago is in the mix with Golden State for Love, with Boston and Denver considered long shots. If it makes any difference to Melo, Rose has no plans to recruit Love, who is free next summer, either. But the Bulls already know whom he’d really prefer to play with in the future.
The Bulls won’t be consulting Rose on any roster decisions and the quiet point guard doesn’t seem like the type to voice those types of demands.
