Rose is expected to get a huge contract soon, but will have to wait until December 9th as that is when players can be signed by teams. Thanks to Rose, the NBA has created "The Derrick Rose Rule," which rewards a player of Rose's caliber to make 30 percent of the team's salary cap, up 25 percent. But the player has to be voted to the All-Star game twice, two All-NBA teams, or an MVP award.
"It's unbelievable," Rose says of the rule. "But the rule, I guess, it fits me for what I've achieved at a young age and hopefully there will be a couple more people like me."
Reports have surfaced that Rose will likely get a five-year, $100 million deal. But the Bulls aren't done yet. Chicago has yet to sign a shooting guard, a player at that position that they badly need. With the new amnesty clause, Brandon Roy could be available to sign for the Bulls to pick up.
If they get Roy, it's going to be a scary team to watch with Chi-Town.
