Its easy for all of us, including myself, to sit here and say that D.Rose should be playing. Remember a great young player who was the franchise guy and had a bright future, named Brandon Roy?

In the first round of Western Conference playoffs, they were up against a far superior Phoenix Suns team (which made the WCF). It was a losing battle and after having surgery, Brandon Roy was rushed in to try and win the series. He got hurt again and they got knocked out. He was forced to retire early.
