Derrick Rose Stays On Broadway

One of the biggest moves made last season was the New York Knicks acquiring Derrick Rose from the Detroit Pistons. New York sent Dennis Smith Jr. and a future second-round pick to Detroit to complete the deal.

Rose had a difficult tenure the first time he was with the Knicks, so people were unsure how things would go this time. They couldn’t have gone too much better than they did.

Rose quickly cemented himself as an integral part of the team’s rotation. He was the sixth man off the bench, providing some playmaking and scoring punch. His leadership is arguably the best quality he provided, as Immanuel Quickley and Obi Toppin both spoke highly of the job Rose did taking them under his wing.

The Chicago native is entering free agency and should receive a lot of offers. He showed he had a lot left in the tank as he was the best Knick in the postseason. However, he will remain in New York City.

Rose will re-sign with the Knicks, as his relationship with Tom Thibodeau will play a big part. That is something he won’t be able to replicate elsewhere and he will return to his sixth-man role again this season.
