Derrick Rose barely arrived at Madison Square Garden, his future is debated since Pooh will be a free agent this summer. So what will it be? His agent gave a clue on the subject …
After a start to the season where he was trying to accompany and make the Pistons float in the Eastern Conference, Derrick Rose found its way out in New York, joining an ambitious and surprising franchise. The Knicks are indeed playing a major role in the East this season, as they are 7th in the standings and right in the race for the playoffs!
The presence of Tom Thibodeau played a big part in Pooh’s arrival in the Big Apple: the two men met in Chicago during the best years of the leader, then in Minnesota for a season. Thibs’ and D-Rose are on the same wavelength, and that’s not trivial …
According to BJ Armstrong, former NBA champion now agent of the leader, this complicity could allow Rose to stay in New York after this season. Here is his response to SNY reporter Ian Begley regarding the possible signing of a new contract with the Knicks:
From earlier: “For sure, I think with his relationship with Coach Thibs, they’re open to it.”
