Rose's potential retirement could prove to be the best addition by subtraction in recent memory. Ty Lue can't play a bad player 30 minutes a night if he isn't on the roster anymore.

Could Derrick Rose walk away from $80M left on Adidas deal?

As he continues to "re-evaluate his future in the NBA" while away from the Cleveland Cavaliers, point guard Derrick Rose could potentially be leaving more than $80 million of Adidas endorsement money on the table should he decide to retire outright.

While Rose is on a one-year, veteran's minimum contract with the Cavaliers for this season, he still has seven seasons left on the 13-year, $185 million Adidas extension he signed in 2012. The brand is "absolutely" protected, according to an industry source familiar with NBA endorsement deal exit clauses.

If Rose files retirement paperwork with the league, the terms of any remaining years on the Adidas deal will not be paid out. Even though Rose's star power has faded in recent years, Adidas has been contractually obligated to continue producing and marketing a DRose signature sneaker each year. Rose had been wearing the DRose 8 model this season.

Rose is just 29 years old. Idealy he is just in his "prime"; however, since he was a "1 and done", in "NBA years" he's probably in his mid 30s. Regardless, he's not going to leave $80M on the table and retire. He's coming back. Once he gets healthy he will want to play, that is up until his next injury.

The D Rose situation is sad, I feel for the guy, but there’s no need to walk away right now.



This is huge. Wouldn’t want him to rush back, but if he’s ready, bring him on. Might have a couple games to really get things going with him in the lineup and developing the chemistry. D Wade is looking the best he’s looked in 2-3 years, and now IT is nearly ready to go. Looking forward to seeing IT tearing it up.

Wow. Hello bench. Philly is a good stinking team folks, and the Cavs dismantled them big time. I love the bench contribution and how they just went after em tonight. DWade has a real niche off the bench and KLove is playing great basketball. If we get Thomas back at say, 90%, this team has a shot.

Kane Fitzgeral can F off, what a little attention whore, some no name ref who just wants to throw himself into the limelight because he can't do his job properly.

Kudos to LeBron, wasn't the most egregious missed call ever, but he is getting ZERO respect by refs this year. He is at practically a career high at shots at the rim and yet is getting his lowest FTA total per game in his career.

Next four games may be the softest part of the schedule this team sees all season. They're at the Hawks (4-16) on Thursday, home against the Grizzlies (7-12) on Saturday, away against the Bulls (3-16) on Monday and, finally, home against the Kings (6-15) next Wednesday. No back-to-backs and nothing crazy in the way of travel. Could very easily see this streak swell to 13 in a row.
