The Knicks declined Rose's $15.6 million team option Saturday and he will be an unrestricted free agent, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
Our View
While this doesn't exclude Rose from returning to New York on a cheaper deal, it was always unlikely the Knicks would pick up his team option. The veteran point guard played just 27 games in 2022-23 and averaged 5.6 points, 1.7 assists and 1.5 rebounds in 12.5 minutes. Rose hasn't played more than 51 games since 2016-17 and is in the twilight of his career, so he will likely settle for closer to a veteran minimum if he is signed this offseason.
