Derrick Rose has grown tired of hearing about the possibility of Dwight Howard coming to play for the Bulls.

“It’s definitely getting old,” Rose said. “We’re sick and tired of ­hearing it. Like I said, the city speaks for itself. Chicago, marketing wise, is a great city. If someone chose to come here, they would definitely fit. I’m cool with the teammates I have.”

In order to acquire Howard, who hasn't put the Bulls on his preferred list of destinations, a trade with the Magic would need to be consummated.

“I don’t pay attention to it unless someone comes to me — like you all and tell me something,” Rose said of trade rumors. “I don’t know what’s going on or who’s talking to who. You all know more than I do.”
