Derrick Rose was expected to increase his value with a fresh start. The former MVP had his highest field goal percentage since his second year in the league and his highest points per game average since 2011-12. However, he suffered a knee injury at the end of the season and underwent his fourth knee surgery before turning 30.

Now he’s back to that injury-prone label that makes it difficult for any player to ever come back from. At one point in the season, it was reported he was thinking about a max deal. Now NBA executives are saying his market value has dropped over $10 million.

Via Marc Berman of The New York Post:

According to league executives, because of his latest surgery, Rose’s market value likely dropped to the $10 million-$12 million range — above the new full mid-level exception of $8.5 million. The Timberwolves could have as much as $18 million in cap room, but Thibodeau wants to use it on at least two free agents.

Minny need a PG who can shoot.

Exactly. They have some high usage guys in Butler, Wiggins and KAT will get his shots too. They need a shooter at the 1.

I'd rather keep Rubio over Rose :manny: A bit younger, less injury prone and better defender/playmaker :manny:

SA would be a good fit tho.

place holder for a rookie PG...I'd just assume he stayed with the knicks on a 2yr 30 milly
