it starts with a simple statement. pat riley doesn't like beasley. pat riley is ENAMORED with derrick rose. we let it leak to the press, who think they've made their big scoop. the 24 hours sports media, the internet, ESPN, they feed on it. they start to justify it. talking heads and op ed writers start crafting critical pieces about nothing.

before long it is a storm that is out of control. GMs start to panic. start to question the player. What did we miss? What does Riley know? Others take the other route, start to praise Rose's "special" talent. Like such easily manipulated pawns, they talk themselves into passing one player for the other.
And the best part? The day after, no one is talking about it. We got our man Chicago, enjoy your buttload of guards.
