LeBron approves of Rose signing: 'Let's Rock G!!'

LeBron James is ready to rock 'n' rose.

Shortly after reports surfaced that the Cleveland Cavaliers have agreed to a one-year veteran's minimum deal with free-agent point guard Derrick Rose, James tweeted the following:

The two former league MVPs have long shared mutual respect and admiration, league sources told The Vertical's Shams Charania. They talked throughout Rose's free agency, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, and are excited to team up.

It's great to see James keeping his chin up amid a thorny situation with Kyrie Irving, who reportedly requested to be traded because he no longer wants to play second fiddle to the Chosen One.

Rose could replace Irving as Cleveland's starting point guard. He registered 18 points on 47.1 percent shooting, 4.4 dimes, and 3.8 boards over 64 games last season for the New York Knicks.
