CHICAGO (AP) - Bulls star Derrick

Rose says he believes the organization is trying to win a championship.

Rose, who's recovering from a torn ACL in

his left knee, says in a statement that management's goals "have been the

same as mine and that is to bring another championship to this city."

His comment comes after older brother

Reggie ripped the Bulls, telling ESPNChicago.com they don't have the talent to

compete for a championship and that their decision to stand pat before

Thursday's trade deadline could be a "big factor" in whether Derrick

returns this season from a knee injury.

Reggie

Rose, who insisted he was speaking for himself, wondered why the Bulls made no

moves when "all roads to the championship lead through Miami."
