Phil Jackson takes shots at Porzingis and Carmelo every chance he gets, but Derrick Rose who went MIA during the season he seems to love.
In his season-ending news conference, Jackson said he was impressed by Rose expressing a desire to return despite the difficult season.
“He enjoyed playing here even with the losses, which of course surprises us because he’s been on some very successful teams,” Jackson said. “But he wants to redeem himself as a player. Which, I like that attitude. I like who Derrick represents as himself. He’s very direct about taking on a big challenge.”
Jackson seems keen on bringing Rose back to Knicks according to ESPN. Rose has some market in Free Agency, but not a lot, so the Knicks maybe bidding against themselves.
