Derrick Rose to NY

[will34]

I am at a loss for words.

I'm not freaking out as long as Rose comes to play as a distributor. Nobody can say that he doesn't solve a lot of the problems that we had last year. Also - I loved ROLO, but it's his relationship on the court with KP that I am mourning more than anything.

[blueNorange]

melo said his window is closing so time to trade a good young piece in lopez for a broken down player that can't stay healthy.

but hey at least we'll enjoy the 7th/8th seed, get bounced in the first round, and then draft a mediocre player at 15 that everyone will overrate.

[Meat]

it's not the fact that the trade went down that bothers me, its' the fact that phil who keeps his cards close to his chest let this story leak a week in advance

[NY2TheBay]

I actually can't believe it. I'm going to join team hoodwinked if Phil doesn't pull a **** dodo bird out of his hat.

This reeks of Dwight Howard

yup. exactly what I was thinking. damn.

[DowNY]

Toney Wroten replaces Jerian Grant. That was the plan once we signed him. To make Grant trade bait.

Holiday is a SG right? Looks like he'll replace Galloway as backup SG.

We lose no cap space but add a major name & an expiring.

Maybe Robin Lopez was a bit overrated on this board like I've been claiming? A tad overrated?

Horford, Dwight & Whiteside are all good replacements for him if you ask me.

[Apples]

A complete salary dump. Lopez, Calderon. Jerian Grant is a bench point guard.

Rose will be motivated to do good, he's a FA in 2017. I like it.

On the other hand he can play selfishly. Which could hurt.

[EchelonNYK]

is it too early to break out the henny?

[Wonderllama]

If Phil didn't draft KP, this would be his last season in NY. He would be fired. (Could still happen)

[NYKHardKnock]

I think I'm the only one who thinks Jerian Grant isn't that good, he doesn't interest me that much. This trade relieves a lot of cap space. Remember we also have Tony Wroten as our back up PG.... BUT, uh, we have two point guards who have serious knee issues so.

I loved Robin Lopez, but I'm okay with this trade.

[AllanH20]

We better max out horford then

[King of Canada]

Try starting out with 4 letter ones

[NYKNICKPLAYA]

Rose can still be good. Neer the right SG to play with him.

[ibraheim718]

I like this trade... a lot. How much is Rose's salary?

I have always liked Derrick and thought he caught a lot of heat because of how he handled the injuries.

And the fact that most of you guys/girls hate him and slandered him for his whole career and now you seemingly have to root for him is just icing on the cake. I think he still has something to prove.

This reeks of Dwight Howard

That reeks of horsesh*t. Let's change our high IQ defensive big for a mental midget with back issues, a declining defensive game, basically no offensive outside of dump offs and putbacks, and an inability to pass.

Dwight isn't a dodo bird. He's a **** pigeon. By dodo bird I meant KD or something like that.

Not at the price they will command

[Blockwatcher]

YES! TANK TANK TANK

[DowNY]

Phil also thought that either Conley was staying in Memphis or thought giving Conley a long term deal was not worth it (which I agree with).

[H_20]

I don't even know what to say, I just hope this doesnt hurt Porz's development.

[King of Canada]

is it too early to break out the henny?

Do you work from home?
