The update on a potential trade with Toronto, according to Chicago Tribune writer K.C. Johnson, is that there isn't one. Three days of intensive discussions involving several names and many variations went nowhere Sunday, with all indications pointing to Toronto pulling away from the table for now.

The latest version had Rose and Marshall going north of the border for Morris Peterson, Michael Bradley and Antonio Davis, who has a trade kicker in his contract that makes the salaries work under the collective-bargaining agreement.

But despite the Raptors scoring just 62 points in a home matinee loss to Milwaukee on Sunday, league sources said Toronto is hesitant to pull the trigger. The teams will talk again this week, but there is less optimism that a deal will happen.

Bulls general manager John Paxson, while declining to comment on trade talks, did address the potential fallout of having disgruntled players remain after being so openly shopped.

"I'm not concerned because I plan on addressing it with them," Paxson said. "My biggest disappointment is someone let this out, and that puts players in a horrible position. But that's my job, to smooth things over."

Rose said the dynamic wouldn't be a problem.

"I've never seen the situation as being personal," he said. "It's the nature of the business and the business that I chose. We're not robots. But anytime you're a public figure, it comes with the territory."
