The Memphis Grizzlies have agreed to a two-year deal with Derrick Rose, per SNY’s Ian Begley. The details of the deal is set to be released soon.
Rose’s addition serves as a vital one with Memphis looking to reshape their culture. A former league MVP who now is a resonating mentor, he is expected to share his experience around the promising club and guide franchise cornerstone Ja Morant towards a needed change following its recent scandals.
The ex-superstar also played collegiate basketball for Memphis. His landing in the club can only be a full circle for him and his career.
