Derrick Rose Leaves the Cavs

[Pugz]

Mexi goin tell that story to his grandkids lol

but he'll leave out gil for mvp

 

[CoachAF]

If DRose retired outright, he'd be leaving an adidas deal with 6 years and roughly $70+ Million remaining on the table.


Damn

 
this is how you will know that he is seriously done. To walk away from that type of cash would be a big deal. I hope he makes the right choice for himself and his health. I don't envy his position.

 

[JZsportswhiz]

Such a sad story. He has more money than his next 5 generations could possibly spend. Just be smart with your money and retire if that's what your heart desires. The Adidas deal is almost worth holding on. It's more than any NBA team would pay him at this point, he's only 29 years old.

probably being blackmailed by adidas

 

[Hurricane Season]

I think his shoes still sell fairly well.

 

[buzzy]

Not that I was being serious, but I doubt they do. Doubt it's anywhere near 70 million. And it's not like he's playing that well or often that him representing Adidas is still worth a damn. 
I bet if adidas could void that contract they would, and spend that money on NBA players with a brighter future

 

[Hurricane Season]

You're probably right.  I couldn't find anything more recent than 2015, but his shoe line was still top 5-ish back then.

Adidas sold $25 million worth of Rose sneakers in 2012 and $40 million in 2013,

That was after being MVP and building on a return campaign. No way he's worth another 70 mil to adidas in his condition
