Derrick Rose has been rumored as a potential buyout candidate following last week’s trade deadline. Despite interest from the Milwaukee Bucks and Sacramento Kings, the New York Knicks chose to hang on to Rose.
For his part, Rose said he’s not seeking a buyout.
“I’m still here,” Rose said. “So my mindset has to be, ‘OK, I’m gonna be here.’”
The veteran point guard said his mindset hasn’t change. He’s trying to be a leader for the Knicks, as they compete for a playoff spot.
“It’s still the same thing. I’m still locked in with the team, talking to the guys, mentoring and just being pretty much a leader,” Rose said.
