Jalen Rose getting waived?
Anyone here think that Jalen Rose would be a good pick-up for the min?
Bonzi situation here, no one has any money left and anyone carrying some of their MLE is avoiding the luxury tax threshold. Jalen Rose would basically be insurance for TMac. If TMac gets injured (*knock on wood*) we wont have scoring depth problems with Rose on the bench. We could sign him to a deal similar to Bonzi's, signing for dirt cheap and giving a player option the next year so he can boost credibility with a winning team and set himself up for a better contract (unlikely given his age).
We would have to cut a player like Scott Padgett though.
PG: Rafer Alston | Vassili Spanoulis | Luther Head
SG: Kirk Snyder | Bonzi Wells | Jalen Rose
SF: Tracy McGrady | Steve Novak | Jalen Rose
PF: Shane Battier | Juwan Howard | Chuck Hayes
CN: Yao Ming | Juwan Howard | Dikembe Mutombo
Bobby Sura and John Lucas III on IR.

Re: Jalen Rose getting waived?
Why are the Knicks so desperate to get rid of him? Jared Jeffries is out for six weeks.

Re: Jalen Rose getting waived?
I really liked Jalen during his time with the Raptors, and think he's still got game left in him. Only thing is that he also needs to ball in his hands, needs to post up, and probably wouldn't work very well with our system.

Re: Jalen Rose getting waived?
No thanks. He can't really run without ball.
We need an upgrade of Howard and this team is perfect.

Re: Jalen Rose getting waived?
I don't think it's a bad idea, though, if he's fit and willing to accept a small role. There may come a time in the playoffs when the Novaks and Heads, etc. are missing open shots, like in Game 7 vs the Mavs. We could use a steady offensive player then.

Huh? Were talking about a minimum player here... like Scott Padgett money... why are you talking about running without the ball? Jalen Rose can SCORE and as a third string player he's very good at it.

Try telling JVG that after having to cut Jacobsen because Sura doesnt want to retire.

he wasnt bad as a point guard. hes pretty good at finding the open man and has solid basketball IQ. Maybe he and Juwan Howard will catch up on the fabulous times while on the bench but both is still solid for covering all spots from PG-Center coming off the bench.

He also played there for the Pacers.
He's a good ball handler, who can bring the ball up.
Loved him at Michigan but i fear his ego might be too big for the Rockets and might hurt team chemistry if he does come.
