Rose On The Verge With Phoenix
2nd November, 2006 - 8:31 pm
East Valley Tribune - On Thursday night, Jalen Rose was on the verge of signing a one-year deal with the Phoenix Suns .
NBA sources said the deal would likely be completed by the end of the night. The 33-year-old Rose would earn the NBA minimum salary of $1.178 million — $744,551 of which would be paid by the Suns and the rest coming from a league fund created for that purpose.
Miami has also been contending for his services. [READ]

Good pick up, I wish that the Lakers had picked him up though...

Re: Jalen Rose will sign with Phoenix
Sucks for a Heat fan, just yesterday David Aldridge said Miami was getting him, but it seems money is an issue.

?
You mean isn't an issue. The Suns can only give him less money
then the Heat can. I'm not sure if I like this. We really have great
depth, but I just hope Rose doesn't start whining about PT.

Re: Jalen Rose will sign with Phoenix
don't know why laker fans want jalen so bad. we're jampacked at the positions he can play, and we're built for the future. you don't get a good team by just throwing a bunch of good players onto a roster.
phoenix doesn't really need him either. how much playing time would he get anyways?

Re: Jalen Rose will sign with Phoenix
At this point, I don't think he'll whine about PT... I didn't even remember him being on the Knick's roster...
He'll be a good pickup for any team who needs a role player, but he has a star player's mentality, and that's a shame.

Re: Jalen Rose will sign with Phoenix
he definitely wants substantial playing time. that's why he's not going to detroit.
besides that, he has plenty teams fishing for his services.

Re: Jalen Rose will sign with Phoenix
There's no way he's going to play more than 10 minutes per game. And even that is more than we can afford to give.
I say sign him and then trade him for a free second round pick ASAP! Haha

He's going to be trade bait with the contract he is going to get. I think
he'll get 15 minutes per game. He could play backup point and have LB and Marcus
worry about scoring. Imagine a lineup of
PG - Rose
SG - LB
SF - Banks (Rose would guard the sfs)
PF - Jumane Jones or James
C - Amare Stoudemire
I doubt are offense would go down very much.

I don't like the squeeze that puts on Raja Bell or Marcus Banks. I don't think Rose's passing is good enough or he has near the speed to allow him to be the fulltime backup PG. He is not a pass-first type of player, and I have problems with envisioning him being just a role rlayer. If he's any good as a roleplayer, I don't think he'd have been ditched by a couple teams now. On paper adding him looks good...
If he wants on the team without any promise of playing time, cool. But I just don't see that happening.

Re: Jalen Rose will sign with Phoenix
I think Jalen Rose wants to win a championship more then anything and Phoenix gives him a better chance.
Hold on a minute just found this on ESPN.com

Free agent Rose getting hard pitches from Suns, HeatBy Marc Stein
ESPN.com
Free-agent swingman Jalen Rose has delayed his Phoenix-or-Miami decision until Friday to give himself an extra night to choose between the hard recruiting pitches he's getting from both teams.
NBA front-office sources said Thursday night that Rose was on the verge of committing to the Suns when calls from unidentified Heat players -- presumably Shaquille O'Neal among them -- put the 33-year-old back on the fence.
After Rose secured a buyout Monday from the New York Knicks worth $14.5 million this season, Miami was widely seen as the favorite, with coach Pat Riley said to be offering Rose an opportunity to play three positions off the Heat bench.
Yet, Phoenix quickly emerged as an equally strong contender and, like Miami, has an immediate need for Rose. The Suns see Rose as a good fit in their up-tempo system, potentially adding a proven perimeter shooter and ballhandler to a second unit that lost Tim Thomas in free agency.
It's believed that Rose will be signing for the veteran minimum of $1,178,348 no matter which team he chooses. In that scenario, his new team would pay only $744,551 of that amount, with the league office paying the difference.
If extra money is needed to break the tie, Miami has the flexibility to increase its offer to roughly $1.7 million without straying into luxury-tax territory by using what's left of its mid-level salary-cap exception. The Suns have only $1.5 million of their cap exception remaining.
Rose cleared waivers Wednesday and is said to be searching for the most clear-cut combination of playing time and championship potential. The 12-year veteran initially had his hometown Detroit Pistons on his list but has eliminated them from consideration.
Marc Stein is the senior NBA writer for ESPN.com.

If signed, I see the Suns looking like...
C- KT / Burke / Marks
F- Diaw / Amare / Ju Jo
F- Matrix / JR / Rose (until he is in game shape)
G- Bell / LB / Pike
G- Nash / Banks
And by the trade deadline, KT or JR could be traded to get a Rent-A-Player Center. Not only that but Rose can be a big relief | |
