Derrick Rose Returns to Memphis: Veteran Point Guard Joins the Grizzlies

15 years have passed since Derrick Rose He dropped out of the University of Memphis to join the NBA through his hometown team, the Chicago Bulls. Well, after those 3 decades, Derrick Rose returns to Memphis, but now as an experienced professional!

Derrick Rose has reached an agreement with the Memphis Grizzlies. The agreement was advanced by the journalist Ian Begley and went Shams Charania who established that the point guard will receive 6.5 million dollars for 2 years. The contract is fully guaranteed.

At 34 years old and with a pretty battered body, Rose lands in the Grizzlies with the status of reference player in the locker room, because Memphis wants to bring order to the team and in that sense, the former MVP of the league can be very useful. .

The point guard spent his last 2 1/2 years with the Knicks under his old Bulls coach, Tom Thibodeau, but in the last campaign their numbers fell sharply. He barely played 26 games with 12.5 minutes of play per game. His will be, above all, a moral presence in a very competitive team, but lacking an exemplary leader.

It does not seem coincidental that two veteran point guards with team ethic have joined the team: the aforementioned Rose and Marcus Smart.
