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.

someone will pick him up
the knicks have to pay him, right?
I realise that I have a past to break with--an accumulation of inertia, wrong, foolishness, rot, junk. A great need of clarification, of mindfulness, or rather, of no mind. A need to return to genuine practice, right effort. Need to push on the great doubt. Need for the spirit. Hang on to the clear light.

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.
