Malik Rose has been trying to get out of NY and hinted he'd like to return to the Spurs. Here's a quote from the NY Post ... "There are things that are different (in San Antonio) than here," said Rose, in his fourth season with the Knicks. "There are a few small things . . . that are the difference between winning and losing. In some instances you have to be born with them. In some instances you can work to get them. We need more of those things." Rose also said the Knicks are made up of many disparate parts without any continuity, as opposed to the Spurs, the prime example of constancy. "You have eight, nine guys there who've spent tons of time together," Rose said of the Spurs. "This team (the Knicks) has been put together over the last couple of years, we have young guys, draft picks, we have free agents, we have trade guys. It takes time to mesh that together and we're not there yet. We have some weird personalities, different personalities on this team." However he did say this later on in the interview ... "Unfortunately it's in the past. I'm going to remember it and treasure it always. That part of my life is behind me and behind them also." Maybe Isiah and Dolan didn't like Rose calling out Isiah's Championship team to the media saying they don't have what it takes to win a title. His current salary pays him $7.1M this season and $7.6M next season.
I was going to say no team is dumb enough to trade for him and then I thought about it. His contract is not that bad really, he provides veteran experience and does play okay defense. Maybe a team looking for a veteran guy to teach some young guys.
