Knicks waive Rose - Dr. Lecter - 10-31-2006

NEW YORK - Jalen Rose was waived Monday by the New York Knicks, leaving their roster one below the regular-season maximum of 15.

The 6-foot-8 guard/forward, a 12-year NBA veteran, was scheduled to make $16.9 million this season.

The 33-year-old Rose averaged 12.7 points in 26 games for the Knicks last season after being acquired in a February trade with the Toronto Raptors. But there didn't appear to be a place for him this season after New York signed swingman Jared Jeffries over the summer and drafted Renaldo Balkman with its first pick.

Rose was a nonfactor in the preseason, playing in only four games and going scoreless in 31 minutes.

I never thought I'd say this about Jalen Rose, he'd look good in a sixers uniform.

I'm no rocket surgeon when it comes to contracts and stuff, but I believe putting a player on waivers is the equivalent of redshirting a freshman, where they will still play out the 4 years (read: contract years), but it will now be delayed for a year unless another team wants to pick him up (with his contract). So I believe he will not be paid this year if he's on waivers.
Bird? Help?

The Knicks will pay him until another team picks him up.

the contract is too rich, nobody will pay that
there must be some pt at which he can sign with someone else and the knicks get stuck paying him

Rose, who received a $14.5 million buyout from the New York Knicks, reportedly had narrowed his choices to Miami and Phoenix. The Heat could pay more than the Suns, who offered the veteran minimum of about $1.2 million, much of which is paid by the NBA.
