The issue with Rose, however, is not necessarily about when he comes back, but whether or not his competitive nature will push him to return before he’s back to 100 percent. “I think about that every day,” Rose said at media day on Monday. “If I come back early, will we have a great chance at winning it? But without me or with me, our goals are mostly the same and that’s to win a championship.” Team doctors aren’t going to give him that opportunity—not this year—until everyone involved is completely certain he’s ready to roll. “I wish I could be at training camp right now but I can’t,” Rose said. “I’m working on my patience, knowing that I have to prove to [the team] that I’m ready to come back. Whenever I’m ready, I’m going to have to prove to the doctors and my trainers that I’m willing to go out there and work hard and feel alright.” HoopsWorld

There are some indications that (Ben) Wallace would like to return, but barring a move, the Pistons' roster appears set. "We have 15 guaranteed contracts, but he will always be a part of Pistons lore," coach Lawrence Frank said. Detroit Free Press

According to a source, Rasheed Wallace completed his Knicks physical yesterday. Wallace, who was not at media day, still hasn’t officially signed, but is expected at today’s first practice. Woodson would not guarantee Wallace will make the roster. “He’s another guy who brings veteranship to our ballclub,’’ Woodson said. “Fact is, he’s asked to come out of retirement to try to get back in the league and help the team. I had great success with him in Detroit. He’s a great teammate. He knows how to win and he’s great from a defensive standpoint. He makes guys around him better, being able to defend. That’s going to be huge. New York Post
