Sometimes we can analyze things and try to decipher them, in vain… These two are just made to get along, I had dinner with them, and they communicate perfectly, they finish the sentences of the other, I don’t know how to explain it, it’s one of the funniest things I’ve seen. You know how D-Rose is, he doesn’t talk much, except with the coach, and they only have one word: win!

A complicity that could make the veteran’s second visit to New York longer and more convincing than his first a few years ago. The leader will be a free agent at the end of the season, so he will have the choice of his destination. For now, the privileged relationship he has with Thibodeau allows the Knicks to fully benefit from Rose’s contribution to the players, without disturbing the rotations and the progression of the youngsters.

Because the former leader of the Pistons is already unanimous in the locker room: he made it a point of honor to play the role of mentor upon his arrival for the young shoots of the franchise. RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley and company will be able to continue to progress by benefiting from the experience of the veteran. The latter resumes his role of scorer playmaker out of the bench, and nicely for now.

Years after the exploits of the Bulls and Derrick Rose under Thibodeau, the two men understand each other always as well. The leader could well stay longer than expected on the Manhattan side!
