Derrick Rose will forever be associated with the Chicago Bulls franchise thanks to his performances with the team between 2008-2012. After being picked first in the 2008 draft, Rose quickly established himself as one of the NBA's most dynamic stars, and his performances helped to guide the Bulls to 1st place in the Eastern Conference standings in both 2011 and 2012.

Rose stayed with the team until 2016, although Jimmy Butler had long replaced him as the team's main man. Despite going their separate ways, the Chicago native has remained close to the franchise that drafted him, and he even held talks about returning back in 2017.

The 30-year-old's performances have only improved since these discussions, and the struggling franchise will now want to bring Rose back if the player is willing to accept a smaller contract and a role from the bench.
