It was said Rose would be signing a veteran’s minimum deal worth $2.1 million, but details of the contract haven’t been released yet.
The signing could not have come at a better time, as the Cavs are expected to be without their star point guard in Kyrie Irving next season. This is new Cavs general manager Koby Altman’s first major signing, and an even bigger trade is expected to ensue sometime in the future.
