When the 2017 season came to an end, the Spurs found themselves facing a multitude of roster questions, especially at point guard. With Tony Parker’s future looking uncertain fresh off a devastating injury and Patty Mills hitting free agency, there were rumors that the Spurs were interested in Knicks point guard Derrick Rose to provide some depth and experience at the position.
Fast forward two months later, and talk of Rose coming to San Antonio has long since vanished. With Tony Parker on track to return around January, Patty Mills re-signing, and the Spurs picking point guards in the last two drafts in Dejounte Murray and Derrick White, there simply wasn’t room for another point guard on the roster.
