Report: Rose could give up $80M in Adidas endorsements if he retires

Derrick Rose could leave a lot of money on the table if he walks away from the game.

The veteran point guard is away from the Cleveland Cavaliers as he reevaluates his future in the NBA, and if he chooses to retire outright, it could cost him more than $80 million in Adidas endorsement money, according to ESPN's Nick DePaula.

Rose, 29, has seven seasons remaining on the 13-year, $185-million extension he signed in 2012 with Adidas. The corporation would be off the hook for the rest of the deal if the three-time All-Star officially calls it quits. Rose, who's currently sidelined with a left ankle sprain, is reportedly mulling retirement due to the physical and mental toll of being hurt all the time.

Adidas has been contractually obligated to release a signature DRose sneaker every year despite his colossal fall from grace, which began when he tore the ACL in his left knee during the 2012 playoffs - just two months after inking the deal.

Rose went from being an explosive, awe-inspiring talent and the youngest MVP in NBA history in 2011, to a player plagued by injuries and defensive struggles.

The former first overall pick joined the Cavs on a one-year, veteran's minimum deal this past summer, and is putting up 14.3 points on 47 percent shooting from the field and 23.1 percent from long range, to go along with 2.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists.

The Cavs, who surrender 12 fewer points per 100 possessions without Rose, have won seven straight games in his absence. LeBron James said he hopes "this ain't the end" for Rose, and head coach Tyronn Lue said he expects to have him back.
