#2 Derrick Rose could provide veteran leadership to the Chicago Bulls

#1 Derrick Rose would be a good alternative if the Bulls fail to land a top-rated point guard
The Chicago Bulls are expected to be in the market for multiple young top-rated free-agent point guards like Lonzo Ball, Spencer Dinwiddie and Dennis Schroder. They also have their eyes on veteran Kyle Lowry, who, as per NBA rumors, will likely command a fee in the region of $25-30 million annually in free agency.
All of the aforementioned players have huge markets, so it won't be an easy task to acquire them in free agency. If the Bulls fail in their pursuit of landing the said guards, Derrick Rose could be a solid alternative.
He is a much cheaper option compared to the other stars and is efficient as well. Rose proved in the playoffs that he could adapt to a starting role also. With Rose, the Bulls would be able to fancy reaching the playoffs and become perennial playoff contenders.
