The oft-injured Derrick Rose will hit the free agent market July 1, but according to his agent, B.J. Armstrong, Rose's mind is already made up -- he wants to be back with the New York Knicks.
Via Yaron Weitzman of Bleacher Report:
"Derrick loves New York and wants to be there," Rose's agent, B.J. Armstrong, told Bleacher Report recently. "We've expressed that to them and been very consistent about it. Whether it happens is on them; all we can do is be clear.”
Armstrong said Rose, who underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee in April, is healthy and working out. He also insinuated that Rose would be willing to take a pay cut (he made $21.3 million last year).
"In the end, we want to explore everything—if you're going to compete, you clearly need a number of [top] players, so let's figure that out," Armstrong said. "We want the best team possible. That's it. All the other stuff, if the team wins, everyone wins."
Will the Knicks re-sign him this summer? This offseason or will they let him go?
