NEW YORK -- Derrick Rose is fewer than 20 games into his tenure with the New York Knicks, but he already envisions a long-term future with the club.Rose, a free agent this summer, said in a recent interview, Of course I want to play the rest of my life [in New York].Rose expressed that sentiment when discussing his overall experience with the Knicks in an interview Thursday with Slam magazine.Were building the culture, Rose said in the interview. Were building the foundation now. Im under a one-year contract so of course I want to play the rest of my life here. But it takes time, it takes patience to figure out how every one is going to fit, if it is going to fit and going from there.The point guard expanded on his thoughts about a possible future with the Knicks after Fridays 118-114 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.I love the atmosphere (in New York), I love the environment, I love the staff here, I love the team, he said. ... My job is to come out here and play as hard as I can and try to win every game while Im on the floor. But as far as my future and everything, who knows? Ill have to wait until the end of this year and figure things out but I would love to be here, though.Rose has played well for New York thus far, averaging 16.8 points, 4.8 assists and 4.2 rebounds through 19 games. Its unclear at this point if the Knicks view Rose as a long-term answer at point guard.Phil Jackson traded starting center Robin Lopez and backup guard Jerian Grant to the Chicago Bulls for Rose in June. He has said that he felt that trading for Rose with one year left on his contract was a better option than pursuing some of the top free-agent point guards.Mike Conley was the best choice as a free agent, but hes making $30 million a year. Thats almost insane. We saw that was going to happen. We had the opportunity to play with Derrick and see if he does have enough left in the tank -- hes 27 years old -- before we have to get into that [free-agent] market again, Jackson told ESPNs Jackie MacMullan in an interview last month.In addition to re-signing Rose in free agency, the Knicks have the option to offer him a three-year extension worth around $75 million. They can offer that extension between Dec. 22 -- the six-month anniversary of the trade -- and the end of the season.The three-year extension would be worth significantly less than the max contract that Rose can earn on the open market, which under the current collective bargaining agreement would be worth approximately $175 million over five years.Health likely will be a factor for any team that considers signing Rose to a long-term contract. Rose played in just 40 percent of his games over the past four seasons due to several major knee injuries but has remained healthy through his first month as a Knick. Hes also said that he enjoys the anonymity of living in New York after playing under the microscope of fan and media attention in his hometown of Chicago for his first seven seasons.If the Knicks decline to offer Rose an extension before June 30, they will head into free agency with several potential options at point guard. Chris Paul, Kyle Lowry, George Hill, Jeff Teague, Jrue Holiday and current Knick Brandon Jennings are all expected to test free agency this summer. Dallas Cowboys Gear .

Hi Kerry, Its another day and here we are looking at another dubious hit to the head. In this case Blue Jackets forward Brandon Dubinsky elbowed Saku Koivu in the head about a second after he dished off the puck to a teammate, knocking him unconscious. Rhys Webb says that Wales long run of losses to Australia is not in the thought process ahead of Saturdays clash.Wales open a testing autumn schedule in Cardiff -- Argentina, Japan and South Africa are also on the November programme -- aiming to halt a run of 11 successive defeats against Australia.They have not beaten the Wallabies since November 2008 -- head coach Warren Gatlands 11th Test in charge -- with only two starters from that match, centre Jamie Roberts and prop Gethin Jenkins, expected to feature this weekend.Six of the defeats were by five points or less, and although Wales average 18 points a game against Australia during that barren sequence, they still await a win.Scrum-half Webb insists it is not a hot topic of conversation in the Wales camp.Obviously, there have been plenty of opportunities against Australia, but thats for you guys [media] to talk about -- the narrow losses, the Ospreys and Wales No. 9 said.We certainly havent been thinking about it these last two weeks.We are just going to concentrate on ourselves. We have learnt from our tour to New Zealand [in June]. We talked about what we needed to do better. We know what we need to do, and we know we need to play for 80 minutes.We are professional rugby players, and we want to play games to win. Its all about winning. We are just concentrating on ourselves, and making sure we get our job done.The Australia squad arrived in Cardiff from London on Wednesday to continue preparations for what will be their first fixture since completing a Rugby Championship campaign when New Zealand left all challengers floundering.Australia were best of the rest, finishing as runners-up, but a 17-point gap between themselvves and the All Blacks told its own emphatic story.ddddddddddddThey [Australia] have had their injuries, but they have got a lot of talent across the board, Webb added.We know how dangerous they are. Some of the individuals theyve got in their team, they can create stuff from wherever on the field.Wales interim head coach Rob Howley -- he is at the helm this season while Gatland concentrates on British and Irish Lions business ahead of next summers New Zealand tour -- will name his starting line-up on Thursday.Three Test Lions with 230 Wales caps between them -- skipper Sam Warburton, lock Alun Wyn Jones and No. 8 Taulupe Faletau -- will miss the Wallabies encounter.Warburton looks set to begin his comeback from injury for Cardiff Blues against Treviso in Italy on Friday, while Faletau remains sidelined by a knee problem and Jones withdrew from selection following the death of his father.Jenkins is favourite to captain Wales this weekend with Warburton absent -- he has done the job on five previous occasions -- with Justin Tipuric featuring at openside flanker in a back-row that could also include Dan Lydiate and Ross Moriarty.Luke Charteris and Bradley Davies are the likely second-row pairing, and Leigh Halfpenny is expected to be at fullback rather than on the wing if Liam Williams is ruled out by injury.Halfpenny, who has scored more than 500 points for Wales during a 62-cap international career, has not played Test rugby since September last year after suffering a serious knee injury during Wales final 2015 World Cup warm-up game against Italy.
