"Derrick loves New York and wants to be there," Rose's agent, B.J. Armstrong, told Bleacher Report recently. "We've expressed that to them and been very consistent about it. Whether it happens is on them; all we can do is be clear."
Armstrong insinuated Rose would be willing to take a pay cut.
"In the end, we want to explore everything—if you're going to compete, you clearly need a number of [top] players, so let's figure that out," Armstrong said. "We want the best team possible. That's it. All the other stuff, if the team wins, everyone wins."
Unless he's paying us (as in the fans) to be here, I want nothing to do with him...just like I wanted nothing to do with the **** trade. Keep Rose away from this team.
