The New York Knicks have interest in re-signing Derrick Rose this offseason.

Phil Jackson said he was impressed by Rose's attitude during his exit interview on Friday. Rose has mixed feelings about the triangle but expressed a desire to return.

“We had a good conversation with him today,’’ Jackson said. “He expressed that he wants to be back. We talked about him going through rehab and work and whatever he has to do. And he’s chosen to go back to Chicago to do that. He’ll also be in L.A., but he also took the time out to say he really he enjoyed playing here even with the losses, which of course surprises us because he’s been on some very successful teams. But he wants to redeem himself as a player, which I like that attitude. I like who Derrick represents as himself. He’s very direct about taking on a big challenge.’’

The Knicks are expected to target a point guard in the draft, but Rose could be a fit on a short-term deal.
