Derrick Rose has agreed on a one-year deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers, according to The Vertical's Shams Charania. Rose's decision to join the Cavs could reflect the organization's desire to acquire a decent back-up point guard, or it could signal the imminent end of Kyrie Irving's time with the franchise.
Last week, NBA fans were stunned to find out that Irving demanded a trade from the Cavs after publicly expressing concerns about the team's offseason moves. "We’re in a peculiar place," he said at the Sports Illustrated’s Fashionable 50 event. "The best thing we can do is handle things with class and professionalism. Obviously, we have a great owner that’s willing to spend a little money on guys that he believes in. At this point, we just see what happens throughout the summer."
Now with Rose on the Cavs, people are wondering what the future holds for Kyrie.
