Free-agent guard Derrick Rose has agreed to a one-year deal to return to the Minnesota Timberwolves, league sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Rose, 29, played just 25 games last season, splitting his time among three teams. He played sparingly for the Cleveland Cavaliers before being traded to the Utah Jazz at the February deadline.
Then he got a pair of sunglasses and he would tape one eye off. I had to catch the ball with only one eye and one arm to try to make it really hard. And he used to make me run routes in between, like, you know how you have a tennis court and there’s six tennis courts in a row? There’d be a bunch of nets, and he’d make me do routes in between all these poles and stuff so I would be aware.
He was Chris Paul Authentic Jersey just always thinking about these one-hand catches when I became a receiver. He’d always try to work my mental side.
The (Minneapolis) Star Tribune’s Jerry Zgoda reported the deal is worth $2.393 million.
Rose, 29, finished last season with the Wolves after being waived by the Jazz, who had acquired him in a deadline trade with the Cavaliers that sent Rodney Hood to Cleveland. The point guard averaged 5.8 points and 1.2 assists in nine regular-season games while playing for his old Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau in Minnesota.
He was part of the Wolves’ rotation during their first-round playoff series vs. the Rockets, averaging 14.0 points in five games and shooting 70 percent (7 for 10) from 3-point range.
Rose’s history with Thibodeau http://www.authenticpredatorstore.com/-12-mike-fisher-jersey_c-455.html is long and involved. The two helped push the Bulls to contention http://www.authenticclippersshop.com/authentic-3-chris-paul-jersey.html in the Eastern Conference before Rose, the 2009 NBA Rookie of the Year Mike Fisher Jersey and the 2011 NBA MVP, suffered a torn ACL in the 2012 playoffs. Another playoff run in 2015 ended in the second round.
