Rose hoped for the max two years ago and he will get the min.
lol Rose is terrible on D and has tunnel vision when driving in for a layup, which he'll do like 9/10 times. He's not a drive and 'dish' pg, he's a drive and try a crazy ass layup that'll make you go 'wow' when he makes it, but shake your head when he doesn't.
and that 10% time he does pass out of a drive, you better hope he doesn't try that stupid jump pass crap that often results in turnovers. He put up empty stats on the knicks and froze KP the fuck out every time they were on the floor.
He'd be ideal in a scoring 6th man role, but I don't know if Cleveland is that team when they are best with spot up shooters surrounding their playmakers (rose is not).

I love Karl so much.. such a good kid.. freaking 22 years old. Hope he continues to grow and get on that Defense... gonna be a fun year
Also sounds like Wiggs is about to get paid..

I hope Wiggins holds out and forces a trade down the road to the Raptors.

It's way worse than that. He allows opposing PG's to bring the ball up without any resistance. Legit doesn't try on D.
i'd buy it but that's one less jersey for jazz fans to burn

I think they are just mostly into threatening to beat up or kill him and his family rather then burn his jersey...

Rachel Nichols tweeted that apparently the Lakers are in on a Derrick Rose bidding war.
I think the camps are on a conference call like
"You take him!"
"No, you take him!"
"You called him first!"
"Not our fault, he called us!"

Would be huge if it was Troy Murphy.
A Celtics and Lakers legend. You can't ask for more.

I can hear Rob Polenka's story at the D.Rose Laker press conference now.

That's what you get when you get Magic.
Obviously I would never watch a Knicks game by choice, but from what I understood D Rose can still play decently, it's just a gamble on if he actually is on the court? That's honestly not a bad gamble to take if you're a team that's not gong to make the playoffs anyways and you need a backup guard.

How do the Celtics even have room on the roster for Larkin?

What's the point of D Rose to the Lakers?
He is not that good anymore but he is still too good to be a backup PG on a lottery team.

D-Rose having to take the minimum is so sad. He should have been the NBAs biggest star...

Note to other NBA stars. Don't land on one leg after every dunk

Why retire when he can still make money and be a solid contributor?
It was in 2012. Its literally called the Rose rule.
Its basically Rookie Scale guys who make the All Star game/Win MVP can get a bigger raise on their first contract extension

Fuck it, hope the Lakers land Rose. He can at least take some media pressure off the young Lakers, especially Lonzo. Young and Lou Williams are gone so they need some bench scoring.
Rose has already made over 200 million from the NBA and Adidas so he can at least play the role of bill payer on nights out with the boys.

I want rose as far away from the Lakers as possible. He's atrocious on D, he's a ball dominant PG, he's god awful from 3 and he's a primadonna. He brings nothing to the team accept ball handling. He's taking a one year deal so he can prove his worth and land a better deal. Meaning if he comes in off the bench behind Ball he'll be unhappy he isn't getting the minutes he needs to do that.

He'll still be happier in LA than in Cleveland where he may not play at all.
Yeah, I don't get the Lakers fit at all

Do you mean injuries or do you mean going AWOL for a game?

Rose hasn't even been replacement level decent the last few years. It doesn't hurt the Cavs though unless hes somehow still on the roster come the playoffs, hes honestly just a body to soak up minutes in the regular season (and really given his history not even good at this). Dude is finished.

Personally I don't want him, but on a cheap one year deal it's pretty low risk. If he acts up you cut his ass.
As for why they are looking at him, it's probably to add someone off the bench who can score and get his own shot. Especially if they move Clarkson. It's a meh move either way.

When he played over the last 2 seasons he was decent. The Cavs clearly aren't getting MVP Rose but I'd be pretty happy as a contender to get him on a cheap deal.

It's really about play time which the Lakers can likely give more of.
Again, I think he's worth it to help shoulder the media obligations that young Lonzo will likely carry.

what you guys don't want alex caruso as lonzo's backup?
I know your joking, but being on a two way contract means you can only come up to the main team a certain number of days.
