Peter Vecsey of the New York Post reports that the Bulls are quietly becoming disenchanted with Jalen Rose. Sources have said that the Bulls are informing the rest of the league that Rose and his 5-year, $72 million remaining contract can be had.

Vecsey claims the Bulls are shopping their franchise player for the same reasons he was traded by Indiana and Denver. No matter how much he talks about a team game, the bottom line is the game is all about him. In other words, with Rose can?t play with highly-touted rookie Jay Williams. Both need the ball and both have problems playing without it.

According to a source, even with his inflated contract, poor shot selection and lackluster defense, the Knicks are interested in Rose and will be looking to move Sprewell before his pinky heals.
