Rose also attended Saturday's Game 4 between the Spurs and Grizzlies in Memphis and told the Chicago Tribune‘s K.C. Johnston that he just “wanted to be around a playoff atmosphere.”

Funny enough, the Bulls could actually Rose as their point guard play has just been dreadful after Rajon Rondo went out with an injury. But unfortunately for the Bulls, Rose is just there as a fan, not as a player.
