Rose ain't coming back for peanuts. Its going to take some serious change for him to forget that he doesn't like playing the Triangle. 2 years, means 2 more years of Rose looking off KP.

Does this imply you think Rose will get a substantial deal elsewhere?

This made very plain where Rose was in terms of health, fitness, and readiness after 4 years of injuries. Also showed where he was on both offense and defense.

Can only count on him for 60+ games.

Can be explosive to basket.

Not a 3pt threat.

Not a defender.

Not a facilitator.

Good midrange, undersized SG.

Which teams will pay for that?

If he can pass a physical, and a tryout, Rose could be a very effective 6th man. For all the deficiencies in his game you pointed out. Having someone with Rose's ability to get to the rim, unclog lanes, change the tide on a contender could get him a nice payday.That is considering what some of Lebrons teammates have received.

Sounds like somone you would want on the Knicks, but Im guessing he would not be used that way in NY. As for his value, my concern is that Phil will be as generous to Rose as he was to Noah, if not more. Legitimate concern IMO.

Do any of the contending teams have ANY capspace to sign Rose?

And do they really want to gamble using that precious space on Rose?! If someone wants to pay him 8 figures a season, good for them. I'm OK with him staying here but it's gotta be a very small salary.

Good question not sure, probably some teams would have to make moves to clear space. To what lengths they will go will in part have to do with how the playoffs go for some contenders, and how deseperate they will be to add some instant offense.

For all the things Rose doesn't do, short of Westbrook, no one really gets to the rim unchallenged like he does, I imagine. Maybe Harden. He would be worth a big one year deal.

Again, the costs. Most all contenders are waaayyy over the limit (when you factor in guys they will undoubtedly resign). http://www.basketball-reference.com/contracts/

And since that is the case, they would need to MOVE players without taking back contracts. And THEN you can think about a big, one year deal.

Not easy. And all of this for a guy who can't pass, doesn't play D, AND is coming off of knee surgery. Again. Meaning he may miss significant time or all of the playoffs.

I don't see even a 1 year big deal in those circumstances.

Meaning like $6 mil a year? I'd hate to spend that much on him but if we struck out with better FAs, I'd be open to it.

Did the mMLE go up that much? I thought it was still in the $3m territory.

Oh I thought you meant regular MLE. mMLE meaning the room exception?

Teams will have cap space this year.

Just as a further reminder:
Evan Turner is getting 17.5 mm a year for four years.
Mozgov is getting 16mm a year for four years.
We gave Noah 18mm.
Harrison Barnes got a near max deal. Harrison Barnes.
Jeremy Lin is on 12mm
Chandler Parsons? Arron Afflalo? Rondo? Wade? Beal? Clarkson? Do I need to give more?

While I believe Rose isn't worth more more than the vet min here, especially with all the bull**** he has pulled on this team and the dysfunction he has contributed to, I also sadly believe that Rose will get paid this coming FA....handsomely if he wants to just because his name is Derrick Rose.

I believe it is also called the room exception. I think the knicks only have the full MLE but I think Rose is still a mMLE type of salary player but I may have to rethink that because the mMLE may have actually gone up. Now, that I think about the MLE will be worth around $8m and it was in the $5.6m area(I think) last year.

Bottom line I think Rose is a $3m type of player at best.

Yeah that sounds reasonable. I think he'll probably get more elsewhere but it will be interesting to see how much interest there actually is in him.

Rose would be brought back simply to take scoring pressure off KP and others -- especially late in games.
