According to related news, the Knicks will not execute Derrick Rose's $15.6 million team option next season, meaning Rose becomes a free agent. Rose is 34 years old and has suffered from injuries in his career, making only seven starts in the last three seasons with the Knicks, and only 27 games last season, averaging 12.8 minutes per game, 5.7 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. I have to say that Rose is already at the end of his career, can he still get a job in the NBA? The Suns and Bulls are expected to be Ross's potential next home.
Ross becomes a free agent
Rose was the 2008 champion, debuted at the peak, won the regular season MVP at the age of 22, fans thought that in time he would win the championship, but injuries hindered his climb, fewer and fewer appearances later in his career, and the window for the championship became smaller and smaller. So which of the Class of 2008 were the most successful? None of the top 4 picks won a championship.
Beasley + Mayo play in the CBA
Beasley was the star of the year, but unfortunately, personality, off-court factors affected his career, has played in the Heat, Timberwolves, Suns, Rockets, Bucks, Knicks, Lakers, 18-19 season is his last season in the NBA, then came to the CBA to make money to join Shanghai, Shandong, Guangdong, and returned to the CBA again last year, but only played 4 games for Shanghai, unable to adapt to the closed game and left early. Mayo is a scout, only played in the NBA for 8 seasons, representing the Grizzlies, Lone Rangers and Bucks, averaging 13.8 points and 3.1 rebounds per game, leaving the NBA early, staying everywhere, representing Liaoning in the CBA in the 2020 season and winning the runner-up.
There is still oil in the Wei Shao fuel tank
Wilson is the No. 4 pick, and although he also did not win a championship, his career is much more brilliant than Ross, Beasley and Mayo, and he is the all-time triple-double king of the NBA, winning the regular season MVP and 2 All-Star MVP in the 16-17 season. But after leaving the Thunder, he changed teams frequently, with the Rockets in 20, the Wizards in 21, the Lakers in 22, and the Lakers + Clippers in 23 (traded by the Lakers to the Jazz and bought out to join the Clippers). Which team he joins next season has not yet been followed.
Love won a crown
No. 5 rookie Kevin Love won a championship with the Cavaliers in '15-16 and reached the Finals with the Heat this year. Love's age, combined with injuries, has made less athleticism than he did back then, making just 21 appearances last season, but his long-pass kung fu is still impressive. Gallinari, Gordon, and Batum are all good pitchers, but they have never tasted a championship so far.
McKee Triple Crown
No. 10 Da Lo won the championship with the Bucks in the 20-21 season, No. 18 rookie McGee is the most championship player in the class of 2008, McGee is not a supergiant, averaging only 7.8 points and 5.2 rebounds per game in his career, but he is tall and arm-long, bounces well, is a qualified role player, won championships with the Warriors in 17 and 18, and won with the Lakers in 20. No. 24 Ibaka won the championship with the Raptors in the 18-19 season.
