Rose extension a stark change in star deals

The Chicago Bulls generally don’t like giving contracts with opt-out clauses in them. Carlos Boozer didn’t get one in the huge deal he signed with the team in the summer of 2010. Neither did Joakim Noah or Luol Deng on their big long-term contracts. For Derrick Rose, however, the Bulls were prepared to make an exception. That’s the sort of clout a Most Valuable Player or any superstar is commonly afforded in the NBA. In fact, the majority of players who are given contracts four years or longer are almost routinely given opt-out clauses.
