Why The Dallas Mavericks Do The Deal

In our estimation, yes. Derrick Rose plays at the level of a $14.5 million dollar player in 2022.

We all know that his athleticism has declined since his prime. When some players lose their bounce, their place in the NBA goes with it. Rose, on the other hand, evolved.

He’s craftier than he used to be. When he was an athletic marvel, Rose made a habit of straight-line drives to the basket. Now, he weaves in and out of traffic, probing the pick-and-roll until he finds an advantage for himself or a teammate.

His three-point shooting has also dramatically improved. In fact, he’s become one of the most dependable floor-spacers at his position. That’s especially relevant if he’s going to be playing alongside Luka Doncic.
