Coming off of his best season since 2011-2012, where he averaged 18.0 points and 4.4 assists per game for the New York Knicks, Derrick Rose signed a one-year deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers to be their backup point guard.
That wasn’t always the plan for Rose, who angling for a max contract before finding that his extensive injury history, including the torn meniscus he suffered at the end of the season, was effecting his free agency. Now, Rose will use this deal to secure himself a nice contract next summer. Lucky for Rose, he may be in store for one of his best seasons yet.
