Knicks declining Derrick Rose's team option, making him unrestricted free agent this summer
Fred Katz: The Knicks are declining Derrick Rose’s $15.6M team option, league source confirms to The Athletic. I’m told this doesn’t close the door to a potential return for Rose on a cheaper contract. He’ll now enters unrestricted free agency this summer. @StevePopper first w the news.

No single coach has believed in – and done more for – DRose than Thibs. If it’s over in NY with him then it might be over completely for Derrick. There’s always China … – 4:02 PM

Derrick Rose was integral in getting NYK to playoffs in 2020-21. His teammates said all year, when asked about it, that he can still play. Assume he pursues options outside of NY. Knicks project to have $12M trade exception with Rose $16M option declined: pic.twitter.com/xEy5KCAkIr pic.twitter.com/ryJgQlkX3I – 1:03 PM

Knicks will not exercise option on Derrick Rose’s contract. Rose was beloved by Thibs and the organization, had a diminished role on the court but was a pro throughout his benching, a voice in the locker room, and this will give him a chance to explore available opportunities. – 12:38 PM

I couldn’t be further on Scoot over Miller.
Scoot might be “Derrick Rose if he never got hurt.”
Miller might be “Cam Reddish if he had more usage in college.”
When Scoot get announced to the 100th anniversary team, this is going to all be even more absurd. – 6:59 PM

Watch … Bulls will somehow get their hands on DRose this summer … and you maniacs will be right back in the ticket line, throwing money at the window, forgiving everything. – 11:04 PM

Ian Begley: Knicks declining Derrick Rose’s team option suggests that they don’t have anything on the front burner trade-wise. Rose’s 16M expiring deal would have been valuable trade chip. Transaction will give Knicks access to the $12.2M exception in free agency. Newsday first reported. -via Twitter @IanBegley / June 24, 2023

Victor Wembanyama played 35 minutes and inked 19 points and 14 rebounds. DeVante Jones and TaShawn Thomas followed with 12 points each. Former Chicago Bulls players Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah had front-row seats for the Wembanyama show. -via EuroHoops.net / May 28, 2023
