MINNEAPOLIS — For 48 hours, former league MVP Derrick Rose was a member of the Utah Jazz.
Rose was part of the three-team deal with Cleveland that also sent Jae Crowder to the Jazz on Feb. 8.
According to Rose, he never even visited Salt Lake City.
“No. I didn’t go. I was still in Cleveland,” Rose said. “They allowed me to be there. My agent worked things out with them.”
After being released, Rose eventually reunited with his former Chicago Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau and teammate Jimmy Butler by signing a contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
