DRose scored a 13 year, 185million dollar contract from Adidas in 2012.
Im thinking Derrick could sell more Sex toys than sneakers these days.
Derrick will be ok. Thats $14,000,000 a year. That alone ranks him number 14 in the sporting universe for endorsements in the top 100!

Melo is number 35 with $8,000,000 Man has to work for his supper!! About the same for Blake Griffin and just ahead of Paul George.
His "Brand" is not that strong outside of his deal with Nike. He is signiture brand sold about $30,000,000 of goods for Nike.

Rose's deal blew me away!!! I don't know what his overhead is for his family so its hard to say "he is alright" with the exception that he has made an awful amount of money.
Melo's true opportunity is in venture capital with investments, including his Soccer Club. This is him putting up his capital.
At this juncture "Winning" would help his brand. I admire his affection for NYC and not wanting to uproot his family during the season. I thinmk they live in LA in the summer. I assume his kid does after school is out. Unfortunately Melo's summer starts a bit earlier!!!

I haven't seem a lot of NBA player oriented commercial/adds over the last year outside of Chris Paul and State Farm...Not sure what that means for them going forward but they do have a huge global footprint..Rose was doing a tour in Asia just before joining the Knicks..Former Yankee, Hideki Matsui, is known in Japan for having an absolutely massive porn collection...Maybe this is right in Rose's wheelhouse...

Phil Mickelson paid fines for insider trading, records shown he has amassed massive gambling debts, another case showed he received close to 3 mill from gambling which was associated with a money laundering scheme...Not even a chink in his endorsement amour...
