The New York Knicks determined to not decide up Derrick Rose’s $15.6 million staff choice for subsequent season.
Consequently, the 34-year-old is about to hit free company this summer season.
Though Rose didn’t actually get the chance to do a lot of something in New York final yr (there’s a cause the one factor he made headlines for was his wild pictures together with his spouse and his child mama), there’s nonetheless optimism that he has one thing left within the tank.
In the best scenario – ideally he can be a helpful add-on to a championship-contending squad.
In line with Steve Popper of Newsday, 4 frontrunners have emerged from Rose’s providers: the Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix Suns, Boston Celtics and Chicago Bulls.
“There are contending groups — the Lakers, Suns, Celtics or perhaps a return to his hometown Bulls — who may have minutes obtainable at level guard for Rose,” he wrote.
It’s price remembering, Rose has been linked to Los Angeles fairly ceaselessly over the previous few years. It by no means fairly materialized for each side, however there was at all times curiosity there.
With Chris Paul being traded to the Golden State Warriors, the Lakers’ finest probability at acquiring a veteran level guard vanished. Rose might be a strong various.
If not the Lakers, Phoenix additionally makes a ton of sense. Clearly Rose can’t be a place to begin guard for a championship staff. However in restricted minutes on a superstar-laden roster just like the one the Suns boast? He may positively be impactful.
As for Boston – Marcus Sensible’s exit leaves them with an enormous hole on the level guard spot. Rose would match properly and it could seemingly give him his finest alternative at successful a championship out of all of the obtainable choices.
