Heat, Bulls Deny Rumor That Rose Is Headed To Miami

Both the Heat and Bulls are denying a rumor that guard Derrick Rose is headed to South Beach, according to The Miami Herald.

Draft prospect Joey Dorsey, a teammate of Rose's at Memphis, insists that he has the inside track and that Chicago will select Michael Beasley, leaving Rose for the Heat.

"There's absolutely no reason anyone would have any clue," Bulls' GM John Paxson said Wednesday. "Nobody knows."

"Chicago's got a lot of pressure on them because Derrick's from Chicago," Dorsey said earlier this week, spurring the rumors "but they're going to take Beasley. I've talked to [Rose], and [Miami is] where I think he's going to end up. You watch what I tell you. I know."
