Derrick Rose: Parting ways with Memphis
There are rumors that Rose himself has expressed a desire to leave the team. And it seems that Rose and the Grizzlies' management agreed on a buyout after he asked to be released from his contract. If that's true, it's a strange decision.
I don't know if he made this decision because of injuries or other reasons, but I wouldn't be surprised if he decided to retire.
I mean who expected Isaiah Thomas being signed by the Hornets and the Suns in the past? Yes it's a short time, but the point is, there's some interest in him still. I believe it's the same with Rose. Injuries really affected his NBA career, but I think he can still play 10 minutes per game, can be a good PG and can lead those youngsters out there. Who knows? We might see him being signed by the Chicago Bulls again. That would be the perfect time to retire as an NBA player.
He will be out for the next 2-3 months and in that time span, the Knicks might play at least a quarter of the regular season games already. If the Knicks really want to compete, they need to get a Center or at least a big that would help them defend the paint, and as I'm looking on who's a free agent right now, there's notable name out there unfortunately.
