It’s safe to say Derrick Rose will finish the season with the New York Knicks.
Rose remained with the Knicks past the March 1 artificial buyout market deadline. If Rose gets bought out, he will no longer be eligible to suit up in the playoffs for a new team.
Despite another clamor from the soldout Garden crowd, Rose did not play in garbage time of Wednesday night’s 142-118 shellacking of crosstown rival Brooklyn Nets. He joined another veteran, Evan Fournier, as the only Knicks who received DNP in their seventh straight win that firmly entrenched them in fifth place in the East.
