Rose agreed to a deal with the Grizzlies on Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
The Grizzlies were in need of some point guard depth with Ja Morant suspended to open the season and Tyus Jones now in Washington. The veteran will likely back up Marcus Smart unless the Grizzlies bring in another guard, though it remains to be seen just how much Rose has left in the tank. With the Knicks last season, Rose shot 38.4 percent from the field across only 27 appearances.

Derrick Rose: Set to hit free agency
Rotowire
The Knicks declined Rose's $15.6 million team option Saturday and he will be an unrestricted free agent, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
While this doesn't exclude Rose from returning to New York on a cheaper deal, it was always unlikely the Knicks would pick up his team option. The veteran point guard played just 27 games in 2022-23 and averaged 5.6 points, 1.7 assists and 1.5 rebounds in 12.5 minutes. Rose hasn't played more than 51 games since 2016-17 and is in the twilight of his career, so he will likely settle for closer to a veteran minimum if he is signed this offseason.

Knicks' Derrick Rose: Gets garbage-time run Friday
Rotowire
Rose played three minutes in Friday's 99-79 win over the Cavaliers in Game 3 of the first-round series, finishing with zero points (0-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one assist.
Rose missed four straight games late in the regular season due to an illness, but he was cleared for the final three contests. He didn't see the floor in any of those contests, nor any of the first two games of the postseason before getting the opportunity to play the final 2:30 of Friday's blowout win. The veteran guard firmly remains outside of head coach Tom Thibodeau's rotation and is unlikely to see any playing time outside of a garbage-time scenarios for the duration of the Knicks' playoff run.

Knicks' Derrick Rose: Moves outside of rotation
Rotowire
Rose (coach's decision) didn't see the floor in Wednesday's 113-89 win over the Hawks.
Rose went unused off the bench for the second game in a row, which allowed Miles McBride and Immanuel Quickley to fill the top backup spots behind backcourt starters Jalen Brunson and Quentin Grimes. In the Knicks' previous game Sunday against the Cavaliers, Rose was active for the contest but was available only in an emergency while getting some rest for a sore toe. Rose was off the injury report entirely ahead of Wednesday's game, so his absence from the rotation looks as though it was a coach's decision rather than the result of the toe issue. McBride made a strong impression during his time on the court with six assists in 27 minutes, so he looks like he'll remain ahead of Rose on the depth chart for the time being.
