Derrick Rose is an *******.

Because of rookie salary scale restrictions, the league's reigning MVP earns about $5.5 million a season -- far less than other NBA stars. The scale is on the table between the league and players' association during its extended labor dispute that could result in more games being canceled and might wipe out the season.

Rose, in Hawaii this week visiting military personnel as part of the Hoops for Troops USO Tour, will undoubtedly earn a lot more when he becomes a free agent at the end of his four-year, $22.5 million contract, depending on the new agreement, of course.

"I wish it was back like where it was in the old days where there wasn't a cap," Rose told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "Back in the day, they were giving guys coming out of college with multimillion-dollar contracts, so why stop it now? The game is growing. There's no need to stop it."

I'm no longer a fan.

Some the NBA players seem very short sighted in this lockout. They are upset with the revenue split and want more money, yet a decent amount of the NBA teams lose money every season.

With that at stake I'm sure the owners are very unlikely to give in to the players.

He's a 22 year old kid who makes 100 000$ a week (not even including the endorsements) and he thinks he should be able to make more. It's sickening.

So you're saying someone who is humble, hardworking, extremely talented, and voted the best at what he does, should not be compensated for it because of his age?

Why should he be making the same money as LeBron or Kobe when he hasn't put in the time they have?

And again he's making 100 grand a week. He comes across as a greedy little douche. I don't care how humble or hardworking he is.

Right, and when he gets a little older he'll surpass the players your mentioning in salary. So who gives a care.
