I think everyone’s first reaction would be…
NAAAAAWWWWWW…..
But, I didn’t think Dwight Howard would get max money either, so I wouldn’t count out at least one dumb team giving Rose what he wants.
His no call-no show wit Knicks might hurt his chances according to ESPN.
Rose made it clear he’d welcome a long-term deal with New York. The Knicks were said to be keeping an open mind about a long-term relationship with Rose, but the trust that has eroded between the point guard and the organization will surely factor into any decision the club makes.
Members of the organization used the word “embarrassment” to describe how the Rose ordeal played out Monday night.
And then there is the potential price tag. Some close to Rose have told friends he will seek a max contract this summer. For Rose, that pact would be for five years and nearly $150 million.
Rose is solid, but is he $30 million a year solid?
We shall see.
