So it seemed clear Colangelo would like Rose back for international competition, and as soon as possible, especially with Thibodeau being added to the staff. The USA team will have a Las Vegas camp for younger prospects starting July 22. Rose is beyond that group, but Colangelo said they might invite Rose to be back and get a feel being around the group. “Obviously, what we need to do is find out how far and how quickly he can come back (from his knee surgery),” Colangelo said. “That’s the important thing. “We’ll monitor Derrick in the course of the upcoming season,” said Colangelo. “If he’s fully healthy (as expected), we’ll want to bring him in next summer to take a hard look and maybe even play in 2014 (in Spain), which might be in his best interests. “He helped us considerably in 2010 when we won in Istanbul,” added Colangelo. “If I’m not mistaken he went on to be (NBA) MVP after that summer.” Bulls.com

Danny Granger: It was the same thing with me. I played for five games, and I could do some stuff, but I'm not going to be out there on one leg, when I can't even do a lateral slide. No one knows what he was feeling. He had a major surgery. So I thought they should have backed off of him. Nobody's been in that situation. Everybody's so quick to judge, when they've never experienced it. They're like, 'oh well, this guy had an ACL, and he came back a little earlier.' Well, that guy's different. Everybody's different. Your body's different; your knee's different. We all move differently. And if he wasn't ready ... I played with Derrick in the World Championships [in 2010]. And he is a competitor. He really is a competitor. There is no way he could have played and would not have been playing, I don't think. NBA.com

Dennis Rodman says LeBron James would be "average" if he played in the 1990s, and insists James' Miami Heat would be no match for his old Chicago Bulls team. "It's really not a comparison. If LeBron was playing in the late '80s and early '90s, he would be just an average player," Rodman said Friday on "The Dan Patrick Show." "To do what Michael has done ... what he did was more charisma, there was more articulating and stuff like that. LeBron is more like ... there's no flash to his game. He's a great player, don't get me wrong, he's a hell of player, I'll give him that. But to me Scottie (Pippen) and Michael are probably the two best one-two punches I've ever seen." ESPN.com

Rodman said Jordan thrived despite playing in a more physical era in the NBA. "LeBron came into the age of the game at a perfect time. Michael came into the game when back then you could hit people, knock him down, shoot a free throw and get back up," Rodman said. "And LeBron can't do that. All they do today is (complain) about a foul. All they do is (complain)." ESPN.com

Rodman believes his best Bulls team would easily defeat James' Heat. "It would be no contest. The Heat has better talent than we had, but we had smarter players," Rodman said. "That's the only thing we had, smarter players. ... I would take Bosh out of his damn game easy. That's not even a problem. And how would Dwyane Wade match up with Scottie Pippen? Really? And Scottie Pippen would guard LeBron easy. And how are you going to cover those two guys (Jordan and Pippen)?" ESPN.com

The First Fan can't wait for The Finals to begin. President Obama went to the Twitter water cooler yesterday and a few people responded. The President is a fan of the Bulls, of course, so it's only natural that he's pulling for the Heat. You always pull for the team that knocked your team out of the palyoffs, right? Miami Herald

So far, he said he's also worked out with Boston, Chicago, Minnesota, Houston and San Antonio. "It's fun," he said of touring different teams. "This is something new. It's pretty cool." Since he couldn't sub in last season, he became almost like a coach for the Friars. It's a role he relished - as much as he could anyway. "I was telling people when they came out, `This is what you did' and, `You could've done this better,"' he said. "I was trying to be the ultimate teammate." NBA.com
