Derick Rose considering playing in Europe

Yet another high profile NBA player is considering heading over seas if the current lockout continues.  Derick Rose announced yesterday that he will strongly take into consideration playing in Europe this year if the NBA season does not happen. "If it does (cancel the season), yes, I am taking into consideration that I might be going overseas but I don't know where," (http://espn.go.com/chicago/nba/story/_/id/7028494/chicago-bulls-derrick-rose-lockout-unnecessary-go-overseas)  According to ESPN.com Rose has had at least one contract offer from a team overseas.  Rose was also quoted "There's no reason why billionaires and millionaires should be arguing about money. There's other things in this world that we should be arguing about, but money shouldn't be the problem."  Derick Rose is one of the most respected players in the NBA and as last seasons MVP, the NBA could not afford to lose him overseas.
