Unfortunate. Obviously there's only like a week left in the regular season, but going forward I wonder if the writing is on the wall for Derrick... _________________ #IStillBelieveTaurean
If we cant get any stars... i can see the Lakers giving Rose a big 1 year deal to punt cap space for 2018 but that is probably plan D if we cant get our top stars.
Derrick Rose has knee surgery, can resume basketball activities in 3-6 weeks
There are few more interesting questions going into the summer than “where does Derrick Rose land?”
The answer to this issue is in part predicated on how he recovers from another knee surgery, his third “clean up” surgery he’s had (he’s had four total knee surgeries, spread two on each knee). This one ended his season with the Knicks, but it took place on Wednesday and went well, according to the Knicks.

Derrick Rose medical update:

Rose, 28, put up solid numbers this season, averaging 18 points, 4.4 assists, and 3.8 rebounds per-game. Offensively he was a replacement level NBA point guard, but defensively he was terrible and was a key part of the Knicks defensive issues as a team.
Considering this is a deep draft of point guards and that there are some good ones on the free agent market — Stephen Curry and Chris Paul likely stay put, but still there is Kyle Lowry, Jrue Holiday, George Hill, Jeff Teague, Patty Mills, all of whom rank above Rose — he may find a limited market for his services. After this surgery, and considering he hasn’t played in more than 66 games since his MVP season, it’s hard to imagine Rose getting more than two years guaranteed. Also, the top end for him financially could be $12 million or so, unless some team decides they need him to run the show and come in higher than expected.
Rose’s agent B.J. Armstrong was on a recent PBT Podcast and echoed what Rose himself said, that winning is what matters in choosing a new team for Rose this summer. If so, there are very good teams who might want him to come off the bench as a sixth man and provide depth at a lower price. Is Rose really willing to accept that? Or does he want the rock?
Like I said, watching what happens with Rose this summer will be fascinating.

I thought Rose had a pretty good and productive season. Seems there's no way the Knicks will try to resign him at this point.
He could've been a HOFer if not for the injuries. Seemed like until 2011 or 2012 he had no problem staying healthy. _________________ Lakers 49ers Chargers Dodgers

Well, maybe it's time for Derek to start taking that walk with his kids. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

I saw this thread and thought "he's injured again!"
But then I just realized it was old.
But this is Rose so.... what's old will be new again.

Okay, this is new. We've had anonymous posters show up and bump old posts before. I guess some people think this is funny -- making people think that Derrick Rose just got hurt again. But it took this poster a full week to getting around to actually posting. Is this the world's slowest troll, or what?
