Hard to find information on what sort of surgery he's looking at. 4-6 months with a reattachment or really quick with removal, but reduce his career. I think given his form this season was always likely to be patchy and a championship run a long shot, I'd be taking the long recovery option. Come back next season, hopefully he has total confidence in the other knee by then, but most importantly you give yourself the best chance of winning in 2016 and onwards. In this league, you just never know what might happen and Rose's time could well come after LeBron's peak ends. For Chicago's sake, they need to make sure that while they want to compete with LeBron now, if there's a chance to be the top team afterwards that they have their trump card as good as he can be.
