Knicks have "legitimate" interest in re-signing Derrick Rose
The New York Knicks have "legitimate" interest in re-signing point guard Derrick Rose this offseason, according to ESPN's Ian Begley.
What It Means:
Rose will become an unrestricted free agent on July 1st. Although the Knicks don't want to spend up on a free agent, Rose has said that he'd prioritize winning over money this summer. Even with first round pick Frank Ntilikina on board, Rose makes a lot more sense if the Knicks are trying to win now.
In 64 games, Rose averaged 18 points per game on 47.1% shooting in 2016-17. But his -2.9 nERD ranked just next-to-last on the team and 190th among all NBA guards.
