I'm going to look at the bright side. We did not trade any 1st round picks.

As sad as it is, every time the Knicks make a big trade without giving up important picks, I'm relieved.

Rose's impact stats were god-awful btw. We clearly don't have an analytics guy

I cant believe guys are hating this trade. Knicks upgraded the PG spot and they can sign a center if they miss out on Durant this summer.

Hordford, Whiteside, and Howard are better than Lopez.

If he wants to come to NY....I'm on board.

Why? He's an ok player but he put up stats on a bad team. Please, the guy would come off the bench on most teams in the NBA.

FWIW I don't buy that Rose is a target.
Rose and Melo on the same team would be a complete disaster. It would be like putting a past his prime Iverson next to Melo.
:banghead:

I cant deal with this crap. Lopez + Grant just to dump Calderon and to have to take on Rose.
This is all because Phil didnt want to hold on to Tyson Chandler

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

I hate some Knicks fans. Now Jerian Grant is a future all-star. Remember Iman Shumpert was the next D-wade?

Yep, life of a being a Knicks fan on an NBA forum lol. He will become very solid but he's over rated, also he's just a little young, 24? Derrick Rose is 27?

A bunch of Knick Fans are going to youtube to check Rose Highlights in a few after the anger wears off. LOLOL

Terrible trade. Can't even come up with a positive here. Without RoLo the trade would've been passable but we just traded a net positive value for an obvious negative player.

Dwight is coming, unless they think KP a 5.

Upperclass wrote:This is actually a good trade. If Rose doesn't resign, you clear 22 mil off the books, and get out from under RoLo's deal. Porzingis is a Center, so RoLo is redundant. Calderon is on his last contract in the league Jerian Grant is a bum, and was a wasted first rd pick.
Rose will be a great one year stop gap to the 2017 draft. He keeps the "promise of better things" hope alive. And should create some excitement for the fans. Again.. good trade.

this trade doesn't NOT benefit kristaps porzingis(our franchise player) and does not benefit the knicks long term.

all this benefits is one guy, carmelo anthony.

Knicks shooting for an 8 seed like we've been doing for the past 15 years because of Dolan zzzzzz

They're gonna sign Noah.

Calm your emotions, this was a smart move. KP is our eventual 5, so Lopez isn't needed long term. Rose is an expiring. Low-Risk High-Reward. Plus, we have around 35 million in cap space to play with now. We're going to grab Noah or Pau for pennies on the dollar next and make a real push for Derozan/Batum as well as improving our bench.
