Derrick Rose commented on Chicago's loss of Ben Gordon during an interview on Thursday.

"We're gonna miss him a lot," Rose said. "He took a lot of pressure off me last year, but we'll have to see this year."

Gordon signed with the Detroit Pistons.

"I guess they're looking to the future," Rose said of management. "Ben is a great player, one of the best players I've ever played with, a good guy. It was a business move, him going to Detroit.

"Our rookies that came in [James Johnson and Taj Gibson], I'm hearing good stuff about them working out hard. I played against Taj in college and he's a good player. James is a good player. We should be alright."
