Rose, 34, will enter free agency if the Knicks
decline their $15.6 million option for the three-time All-Star
and former league MVP.
Rose played a limited role on coach Tom Thibodeau's squad last
season, averaging 5.6 points and 12.5 minutes in 27 games off
the bench.
The No. 1 overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft, Rose has career
averages of 17.7 points, 5.3 assists and 3.3 rebounds in 699
games (511 starts) with the Chicago Bulls, Cleveland Cavaliers,
Minnesota Timberwolves, Detroit Pistons and Knicks. He was
Rookie of the Year in 2008-09 and MVP the following season.
The Knicks could try to bring Rose back at a reduced salary, per
the report. He has not played more than 51 games in any season
since 2016-17.
