Derrick Rose Hits Free Agency After Knicks Decline Contract Option

The New York Knicks have declined their $15.6 million option on Derrick Rose's contract, making him a free agent. The 34-year-old point guard could provide some offensive punch for a playoff contender in need of guard depth. The Milwaukee Bucks, Chicago Bulls, and Cleveland Cavaliers are among the potential landing spots for Rose. The Bucks, who had interest in him before, could use his ball-handling ability for more versatility on offense. The Bulls need depth at point guard, and a reunion with Rose would make sense for both sides. The Cavs could benefit from Rose's scoring off the bench and perimeter shooting.
