1.  Do you believe Derrick Rose will not return to the Cavilers and retire?

2. Do you think this will impact the Cavaliers as a team?

3. If Rose were to retire, he would be leaving $80 million in Adidas endorsement money on the table. Considering his salary is only 2.1 million right now, is this a reasonable thing to do?

4. As a former 2011 MVP, his injuries have ruined his career and seems like they're not stopping anytime soon. Do we really blame him for taking time off to decide his future?

  1. 1. Do you believe Derrick Rose will not return to the Cavaliers and retire?
    I do not think Derrick Rose will return to the Cavaliers. He has continually battled injuries almost all his career and he had been plagued with a couple of minor injuries in the 2017 season. After he tore both ACLs it seems he has never been the same player. His injuries have caused him to be less explosive and valuable to a franchise in comparison to previous years. He has already sat out of the 2017 season for an ankle injury I believe he will retire.
    2. Do you think this will impact the Cavaliers as a team?
    He is a good player but I do not think him retiring will have a significant impact on the Cavaliers. They are in the midst of a 8 game win streak without his presence on the court. They have Dwyane Wade to replace his role and eventually Isiah Thomas will be back and be the Cavaliers second leading scorer.
    3. If Rose were to retire, he would be leaving $80 million in Adidas endorsement money on the table. Considering his salary is only 2.1 million right now, is this a reasonable thing to do?
    Derrick Rose's decision to retire for the NBA is for his mental health, which is the most important aspect of his life. He is a successful individual and he will land on his feet but money cannot be the sole factor that plays into his decision to retire since it seem that these injuries have had a significant mental toll on his as a player and person.
    4. As a former 2011 MVP, his injuries have ruined his career and seems like they're not stopping anytime soon. Do we really blame him for taking time off to decide his future?
    I do not blame him for taking time off the court to handle his personal situation. He needs to take time and reflect on his career and make a decision on continuing his career in the NBA. It is a huge decision to retire, therefore he needs space and time so he can be with his friends and family and make the choice that makes him happy.

  2. 1. Do you believe Derrick Rose will not return to the Cavilers and retire?
    Due to Rose’s many injuries throughout his career, I do not think he will return to the Cavaliers. Just one injury would take a mental toll on an athlete but after several, sever injuries, I think he will decide to retire. As said in the article he is going to take personal time and “evaluate his future in the NBA.” In my opinion, he sounds warn out and understandably so.

    2. Do you think this will impact the Cavaliers as a team?
    No, I do not think that Rose will impact the Cavaliers. Due to a left ankle injury, he has only played in seven out of 18 of the games this season Even without Rose playing, the Cavaliers have had maintained a winning streak.

    3. If Rose were to retire, he would be leaving $80 million in Adidas endorsement money on the table. Considering his salary is only 2.1 million right now, is this a reasonable thing to do?
    Honestly, I think the sole reason he would not retire would be because of the $80 million in endorsements. But at the end of the day, his health is what matters most and I think it is reasonable for him to leave the NBA. Especially since he is already well off and will have no problem getting back on his feet, pursuing another career.

    4. As a former 2011 MVP, his injuries have ruined his career and seems like they're not stopping anytime soon. Do we really blame him for taking time off to decide his future?
    We can’t blame Rose for taking time off to decide his future. Not only does he need to feel better physically but also mentally. He needs to make the best decision for his health and only time can tell. This is a big deal and he deserves a break to figure out whether or not he has had enough.

  3. 1. I don't believe that Derrick Rose will retire. I believe that it would cost him too much money and its not worth it right now. I can understand him taking time but I don't think he should retire this early.

    2. It shouldn't really have an impact on the Cavs in general because they have Isaiah Thomas returning soon and he has proven to be an elite PG in the NBA. He should be able to impact the Cavs more beneficially then the negatives a retiring Derrick Rose will bring.

    3. I don't think leaving 80 million dollars is a reasonable thing to do in a lot of situations. 2.1 million isn't bad normally but compared to 80 million he should not ruin that opportunity.

    4. I don't blame him at all for wanting to take time thinking about the future of his career. He has dealt with a lot of injuries and it has definitely had an impact on his career. However, it doesn't seem to me that he should jump to any conclusions. He should take time think carefully and truly think about his career, money, family, friends, and love of the game before he makes his final decision.

  4. 1. Do you believe Derrick Rose will not return to the Cavaliers and retire?
    I believe that Derrick Rose will not return to the Cavaliers and he probably will retire given all the injuries he has gone through over the years. He has had a good career and I don't think he feels forced to keep playing, even though the Cavs what him back.

    2. Do you think this will impact the Cavaliers as a team?
    No I do not think that this will impact the Cavs too much because they have other players like Isaiah Thomas to fill in for him. However, Thomas is injured right now, so losing Rose will have a temporary impact on the Cavs as a team. I do think however that many of the players on the Cavs will be sad to see Rose go because he is a good player when he’s not injured and has done well for the team thus far.

    3. If Rose were to retire, he would be leaving $80 million in Adidas endorsement money on the table. Considering his salary is only 2.1 million right now, is this a reasonable thing to do?
    Yes I think it is a reasonable thing to do because he should not let endorsements control his career. If Derrick Rose is injured and isn't happy playing basketball then he should not continue to play. It's more about the love of the game than it is about the money.

    4. As a former 2011 MVP, his injuries have ruined his career and seems like they're not stopping anytime soon. Do we really blame him for taking time off to decide his future?
    No you can't blame him for taking time off. Going through so many injuries over so many years is physically and mentally draining and it can really make paying at the elite level very hard. I thinks it's wise of him to take a step back and think about his future as a basketball player. He has to do what he thinks is right for him, not what others think is right for him.

  5. 1. I do not believe Derrick Rose will retire- he has had numerous injuries over his career, and despite that, he is still playing, and currently on the best team that he's been on in his career. I think that since he's had the motivation to work through his previous injuries, he'll be able to move through current issues and have the possible success as a Cavalier as a motivating factor.

    2. I think that this will have an effect on the team until Isaiah Thomas' return- since he's injured, losing Rose should temporarily impact the team, but since Thomas should become the starting point guard after his return, I don't think that Rose's possible absence could damage the team very badly.

    3. Forbes ranks Derrick Rose as the World's 22nd highest paid athlete- I doubt that leaving the additional $80 million will wreck him financially. He played through a 5-year $94 million dollar deal through his final season with the Knicks. If Rose is considering retirement, he would definitely take this into account, but I don't think that it's unreasonable for him to consider.

    4. Rose shouldn't be blamed for taking time off. Going through as many injuries as Rose has takes a physical toll on a player. Taking time off is the right decision for him to do, as he definitely should take time to carefully consider what direction he plans to go in in his future.

  6. I think that Rose is just going to take some time away from basketball. I think that he is going to spend some time with his family and think about everything that is going on in his life. After his injuries Rose hasn't been at the same caliber as he once was. I think that he constantly thinks about this as well. Although Rose is not the same as he once was, I do believe that he is a good player in this league and after a period of time away from basketball he will eventually play again.
    I do think that it will impact the Cavs but not in that big of a way. He is a great role player now and I don't believe that his absence will truly injure the Cavs. They are still waiting for Isaiah Thomas to return and once he does, Rose's playing time would decrease. I do think that it is still important though to have a strong role player and a good backup point guard.
    I don't think it is the reasonable thing to do but if he truly is upset with basketball then he needs to do something that he loves. He has made lots of money in the past so I'm sure he has enough to back him up financially speaking. If I were him though I would continue to play because anybody could use $80 million.
    I personally don't blame him because he has dealt with many injuries and problems over the past couple years. Injuries are not his fault and there is nothing he can do about. I can see why some would be upset about this though. If Rose had these feelings while going into the offseason then he should have never signed with the Cavs. It is a little unfair to them because they wasted time and money when going out and trying to sign him. Now he isn't playing for them and is taking time off from basketball.

  7. I think that Derrick Rose will not retire. Throughout his entire career Derrick Rose has battled back from injuries and I believe that he will come back strong from this despite the fact that he is struggling. I think that he still has potential and I don't think he is ready to give up basketball.

    I don't think this is having much impact at all on the Cavaliers. They do not need Derrick Rose, he was not one of their better players and the Cavs never really relied on him. He is new to the team, and his absence is not going to affect many of their players.

    Derrick Rose has already made a lot of money from his basketball career, and assuming that he has been financially smart, he most likely has enough money stored away that he will not have to rely on the money that he will give up if he decides to retire. In the end though it is his decision and whatever he decides he will definitely consider the financial implications.

    You cannot blame Derrick Rose for taking some time off to consider his future. He has been battling injuries his entire career and I'm sure it has taken an incredible amount of emotional strength to carry on. It is understandable that he has decided to take time off, and he should not be criticized.

  8. 1. Do you believe Derrick Rose will not return to the Cavilers and retire?
    I believe Derrick Rose will not retire, I think this because he is still so young and has much of his career left. The Cavs are also a championship contender, so he would definitely stay with them if he were to stay in the NBA.
    2. Do you think this will impact the Cavaliers as a team?
    Yes they are losing their starting point guard who runs the floor and plays at a fast pace. It could ruin their mentality, however they are such a good team that I think they could push through it.
    3. If Rose were to retire, he would be leaving $80 million in Adidas endorsement money on the table. Considering his salary is only 2.1 million right now, is this a reasonable thing to do?
    I mean if he is unhappy and he has already made enough money over his career, and has already won an MVP, then he has done more then enough in this time span. He is a fantastic player who has made mega millions, so unless he really needs 80 million dollars more then he is ok.
    4. As a former 2011 MVP, his injuries have ruined his career and seems like they're not stopping anytime soon. Do we really blame him for taking time off to decide his future?
    You cannot blame Derrick Rose for taking time away from the game because he has slowly become frustrated with his health. He cannot seem to go a season without any injuries, which makes it hard to be the superstar he once was.

  9. 1. At this point in Rose's career I think that it may not be worth it for him to keep playing if he keeps getting hurt. Rose was an MVP at a very young age, and the injuries have certainly sidetracked him a lot and he has lost some of what made him great, but it would be a huge loss for the NBA to see him retire. I think he honestly might retire at this point because he's rehabbing more than he plays.

    2. I do believe this will impact the Cavs because Rose is still certainly capable of being a starting point guard, and on the Cavs, he will be a backup which give him more of an opportunity to rest, and will give him a great chance at winning a title. If rose is to not come back then the Cavs lose a real threat on their second unit which could consist of D-Wade, Korver, and Rose.

    3. $80 million is $80 million. I know that Rose has not sold as many sneakers as Adidas thought he would, but if I was offered $80 million I would certainly take it. Rose has a family and I think that that kind of money is too much to pass up on when he will never see a check close to that number for the rest of his life.

    4. I think that it is very hard to blame a guy whose career looked like he was going to be a future Hall of Famer, then to getting sidetracked for two years of knee injuries. The guy is flat out sick of being hurt and even though he made a commitment to the Cavs, I think it is really hard to blame someone for wanting to retire when they are never on the court.

  10. 1. Do you believe Derrick Rose will not return to the Cavilers and retire?
    Derrick Rose has had multiple injuries at this point during his nine year career. He's had injuries with his knee, ankle, hip and one athlete can only take so much of that. Although he's been MVP, he probably is thinking there is not much light at the end of the tunnel. You can work as hard as you want to rehabilitate, but there is no telling if you will re-injure something or injure something else which seems to be his experience with his career. He sat out a full season, played ten games of another season, and he's out again. With this time he is taking off, I'm sure he will try to collect his thoughts, but really, how many injuries can one athlete sustain before calling it quits?

    2. Do you think this will impact the Cavaliers as a team?
    I don't think it will ever really be clear whether or not it will have a big impact on the Cavs. Obviously with an injured Isaiah Thomas, it will cause some problems at the point guard position, but we won't really know unless he comes back. He seems to being showing signs of his old self, at the peak of his performance. But would that have continued is the question. The Cavs also have other big name players like LeBron James who will surely step up.

    3. If Rose were to retire, he would be leaving $80 million in Adidas endorsement money on the table. Considering his salary is only 2.1 million right now, is this a reasonable thing to do?
    The saying is: money can't buy you happiness and I think that can apply to this situation. If Rose isn't happy with the path his career is going down with his several injuries, then why will an endorsement deal matter to him? He has already made lots of money during his career and if he's playing for the "love of the game" then the money won't matter and he can make a decision based on that. So yes it is a reasonable thing to do if he truly isn't happy with basketball anymore.

    4. As a former 2011 MVP, his injuries have ruined his career and seems like they're not stopping anytime soon. Do we really blame him for taking time off to decide his future?
    I don't blame him. I think anybody would the same in his situation. When you go from the top to the bottom in what seems like not very much time at all, you start to question the future and if it's really worth the time and effort of rehabilitating for a possible succeeding injury. His teammates and coaches support him so it's not like he's doing anything wrong.

  11. 1. Derrick Rose will not retire. The first reason is because with all his injuries in the past, there is no reason he should quit right now. He has overcame so many injuries that he should not be retiring right now. Also, it would cost him a lot of money I don't think he would want to lose. One more thing is he has a family he needs to care for. Although he has a family he wants to spend time with, that shouldn't mean he will retire, considering all he has gone through.
    2. I think It will make a difference, but not a big one. Derrick is an amazing player and is arguably one of the best players on the team. This being said, the Cavaliers are an great team and should not being impacted that much by the loss. So yes the tam will be impacted, but not enough to make a big difference.
    3. I think it totally depends on what is best for his family and their future. If their family wants a lot of money, and he wants it too, he should not leave it and let it pass. If his family is sufficient with the amount of money he has now, maybe it would be better to leave it be.
    4. We should not blame Derrick for taking time off. He should do what he thinks is best, and right now, that might be taking some time off the think about his career and look upon what his future holds. It is entirely up to him.

  12. 1.Do you believe Derrick Rose will not return to the Cavaliers and retire?
    I do believe Derrick Rose will return to the Cavaliers. Similar to this “break” he is taking, last year while playing for the Knicks he took a similar break, only to eventually come back and have a good season. The cavaliers are an extremely talented team that could easily make another trip back to the finals and I think that is something Rose would not want to miss out on.
    2. Do you think this will impact the Cavaliers as a team?
    I think this will hurt and help team moral. On one hand every player on the team feels bad for Rose who is going through a terrible spell of injuries, and this may bring down team morale. On the other hand the players could rally together to play for Rose in a hope that he comes back to the team.
    3. If Rose were to retire, he would be leaving $80 million in Adidas endorsement money on the table. Considering his salary is only 2.1 million right now, is this a reasonable thing to do?
    Considering Rose has made a significant amount of money from his past contracts with the Knicks and his large stint with the Bulls, money is not something Rose should incorporate into his decision making process. For Rose he must decide if the mental and physical strain of playing in the NBA is worth it to him at this stage in his life.
    4. As a former 2011 MVP, his injuries have ruined his career and seems like they're not stopping anytime soon. Do we really blame him for taking time off to decide his future?
    I wouldn't say injuries have ruined his career, however I do agree they have led him on a different path than what could have been. Injuries sure have taken a mental and physical toll on Rose and no one can blame him for taking time to decide his future in the NBA.

  13. 1. Do you believe Derrick Rose will not return to the Cavaliers and retire?

    I believe that Derrick Rose will be leaving the Cavaliers this time for good. A team source recently reported that Derrick Rose’s injuries have been affecting him mentally.

    2. Do you think this will impact the Cavaliers as a team?

    I don’t think that Derrick Rose retiring will have a dramatic impact on the Cavaliers. Derrick Rose is a terrific player, but I believe that it is his time move on because he is experiencing some life long injuries.

    3. If Rose were to retire, he would be leaving $80 million in Adidas endorsement money on the table. Considering his salary is only 2.1 million right now, is this a reasonable thing to do?

    It is certainly a shame to leave when you have Adidas offering you $80 million dollars for endorsement. But I think that Rose is at the point where he is no longer in condition to play anymore. I believe it is a reasonable thing for Rose to do.

    4. As a former 2011 MVP, his injuries have ruined his career and seems like they're not stopping anytime soon. Do we really blame him for taking time off to decide his future?

    I don’t blame Rose for taking time off to decide for his future. This is a huge decision he has to make. I think it has come to the point where he is no longer eligible to play and should retire.

  14. 1. Do you believe Derrick Rose will not return to the Cavilers and retire?

    I do not think that Derrick Rose will return to the Cavaliers, I believe that he will retire. He knows that he is not nearly the player that he used to be, and is very prone to injury at this point in his career. I think that the best decision for him right now would be to retire and not risk permanent damage.

    2. Do you think this will impact the Cavaliers as a team?

    Yes, although Rose is not nearly the player he used to be, he is still a great player on the court. His presence as a passer and scorer will be missed by the Cavs, and his backup will have to take over for his spot.

    3. If Rose were to retire, he would be leaving $80 million in Adidas endorsement money on the table. Considering his salary is only 2.1 million right now, is this a reasonable thing to do?

    No, from an economic standpoint, I do not think that this is a very good decision, but he already has so much money from basketball that i think it is more important to him that he feels healthy the rest of his life and is not permanently damaged from basketball.

    4. As a former 2011 MVP, his injuries have ruined his career and seems like they're not stopping anytime soon. Do we really blame him for taking time off to decide his future?

    No, him taking this time off is a good decision because i think it is more important to him that he feels healthy the rest of his life and is not permanently damaged from basketball.

  15. 1. Do you believe Derrick Rose will not return to the Cavilers and retire?
    I believe that Derrick Rose is not only leaving the Cavs forever, but the NBA in general. It has reached a point in his career where he thinks it is time to retire. He has dealt with injuries throughout his career, and leaving the NBA is a good decision for his health.

    2. Do you think this will impact the Cavaliers as a team?
    Yes. Although he is not as impactful as he used to be, he still has a big impact on the game. He is still a strong player that the Cavs will surely miss.

    3. If Rose were to retire, he would be leaving $80 million in Adidas endorsement money on the table. Considering his salary is only 2.1 million right now, is this a reasonable thing to do?
    Yes. Derrick Rose has made more than enough money throughout his career. If he isn't able to play, he will be fine living off the money he has already made.

    4. As a former 2011 MVP, his injuries have ruined his career and seems like they're not stopping anytime soon. Do we really blame him for taking time off to decide his future?
    No, taking time off is a completely reasonable thing to do. It gives him an opportunity to rethink his NBA career and maybe even stop in general. His health is more important than the game of basketball, so it is good that he is considering his future.

    I do believe that Derrick Rose will not play to the Cavilers and also will never play in the NBA again. When he was with the Bulls he was a very talented player and was a key player for the team but he dealt with injuries throughout his time there and with other teams. For his health it would be best if he retired.

    2.
    Yes, even tho they have a lot of strong players he will be missed. He is a good player but the team should still do well with strong players like Lebron who are one of the best players in the league.

    3.
    Derrick has been playing basketball for a long time and with 2.1 million a year plus former endorsement deals I'm sure he will have plenty of money to live a nice life in retirement

    4.
    No, I think retirement will be good for him. It will allow him to take time off and his injuries to heal. It will also allow him to see what retirement would be like and allow him to rethink his life and NBA career.

  17. 1. I think that Rose is done for his NBA carrer. He was just had too many inguies that it is not worth it for him.

    2. They will definally miss him but they do have a good team so it should'nt make too big of an impact/

    3. He has shoe money and alot of money earlier on in his carrer. He shoudl be set for the rest of his liffe/

    4. Taking time off was the good thing too do because at somepoint you have to value your heath/happiness over playing sports

    3. If Rose were to retire, he would be leaving $80 million in Adidas endorsement money on the table. Considering his salary is only 2.1 million right now, is this a reasonable thing to do?
    I think he has enough money to live fairly comfortably.
    4. As a former 2011 MVP, his injuries have ruined his career and seems like they're not stopping anytime soon. Do we really blame him for taking time off to decide his future?
    No, he has been very successful and been a big player since he entered the NBA, earning rookie of the year in 2008. Playing at such a high level is going to lead to injuries and it is important that he doesn't further hurt himself.

  19. 1. Do you believe Derrick Rose will not return to the Cavilers and retire?
    I believe he won't return to the NBA. There is not questions that he was very talented but after his injuries and long career I believe it would be best for him to retire. He is no longer at the top of his game and is prone to injury.
    2. Do you think this will impact the Cavaliers as a team?
    Yes, even though he has not been at the top of his game recently it will leave an impact on the team. He is a leader on the team and has a lot of basketball knowledge so losing him would be a big impact.
    3. If Rose were to retire, he would be leaving $80 million in Adidas endorsement money on the table. Considering his salary is only 2.1 million right now, is this a reasonable thing to do?
    D rose has an estimated net worth of 35 million dollars. I believe no matter what he does he will be comfortable for the rest of his life. and even if he retires he will bring a large income from endorsements for the rest of his life.
    4. As a former 2011 MVP, his injuries have ruined his career and seems like they're not stopping anytime soon. Do we really blame him for taking time off to decide his future?
    No, he has been struggling mentally to cope with his injuries and his basketball skills. people are worried about his current mental health and how he is dealing with things. I do not blame him for taking time off.

  21. 1. Do you believe Derrick Rose will not return to the Cavilers and retire?
    I do, he has had a very talented and successful career. He was very good on the bulls until is injury's. Before his injuries he was one of the greatest players in the NBA. I feel like he is getting tired of getting injured and not playing the way he used to.

    2. Do you think this will impact the Cavaliers as a team?
    Yes, even though Rose wasn't a huge impact towards the Cavs, but a player is a player and I think he was some help to the cans and its gonna impact them.

    3. If Rose were to retire, he would be leaving $80 million in Adidas endorsement money on the table. Considering his salary is only 2.1 million right now, is this a reasonable thing to do?
    I feel like he has plenty of money from his prime to keep him on his feet. It really depends on what he feels is best for him. If he wants to play with injury's and get the money, or if he wants to leave it behind and go into retirement.

    4. As a former 2011 MVP, his injuries have ruined his career and seems like they're not stopping anytime soon. Do we really blame him for taking time off to decide his future?
    No, it would be very stressful always getting injury's, and trying to be the best athlete you can be but you cant because of his injury's back and forth.

  22. 1. Do you believe Derrick Rose will not return to the Cavilers and retire?
    I think he will retire because all the injuries he's had have stopped him from playing like he used too. He won't start when IT gets back and has missed 11 out of the first 18 games already. If his emotional state is bad like people say it is then I think he will retire to focus on himself.

    2. Do you think this will impact the Cavaliers as a team?
    I don't think it will impact them in a noticeable way when Isiah Thomas gets back. They already have depth as the PG position with Dwayne Wade who is playing better then Rose right now.

    3. If Rose were to retire, he would be leaving $80 million in Adidas endorsement money on the table. Considering his salary is only 2.1 million right now, is this a reasonable thing to do?
    I think it is reasonable to be do if he really is have emotional problems. He has made a lot of money in his career and shouldn't need anymore to have a comfortable life. He should focus on his emotional well being over money but if he is okay to continue playing 80 million dollars is hard to walk away from.

    4. As a former 2011 MVP, his injuries have ruined his career and seems like they're not stopping anytime soon. Do we really blame him for taking time off to decide his future?
    I don't think fans should blame him for taking time off. His career has been in a downward spiral ever since his ACL injury and his well being is more important than him playing for the Cavaliers right now.

  23. 1. I think Rose will retire because all the injuries he's had have been very demoralizing and he hasn't played like he used to. I think the fact that IT will be coming back and Rose is not exactly stable emotionally is why he should retire. I think he will step away from the game of basketball and it will help him focus on himself.

    2. With the amount of depth the Cavaliers have at the guard position, I don't think they will be affected if he retires. They have Isaiah Thomas returning who is obviously their starting point guard. Though, as far as their team morale goes, I am unsure how it will affect them.

    3. I think the money shouldn't affect Rose's decision. He has been a great player throughout the years and if he needs to step away, thats his own decision. Of course Rose has made a lot of money throughout his playing career which is why I feel the decision is in his own hands.

    4. I don't see how fans can blame him for taking time off. He was a great player that hit some bumps in the road injury wise and needs time off. I don't think him playing for the Cavaliers is more important than his future life plans.

  24. 1. I believe that Rose will retire from the Cavaliers. He has had severe injuries multiple times keeping him out for long periods of time. After all these injuries have occurred he has not been able to play to the skill level that he once was. With other players returning I think that Rose will end up on the bench with minimum to no game time.

    2. I do not think this will affect the Cavaliers. Rose has been out before due to injury and the team has continued to play on. If he retires he will have other players fill his space. Isaiah Thomas is coming back which will help the team.

    3. I do not think that Rose should walk away from an $80 million deal. If he only has $2.1 million for his salary. Although he is not playing as well and he is getting older $80 million is a lot of money and I believe that he would more happy after he reties once he makes that money.

    4. His injuries were not in his control. He did not take that time off because he wanted to, he was unable to play with those injuries. If he needed to take time off he should not be criticized for it.
