Derrick Rose to NY

[poeman]

Dwight or Horford has to come now. I mean Dwight would love to work with Melo, KP and especially a DRose.

Oh man, PMFJ. Delivering that peanut butter and jelly

[NBA Fan 1234]

This team can be a 2 seed in the East.

IF everyone stays healthy...and the starters aren't exactly iron men. They're more a lego man missing pieces of their knees, shoulders, ankles, etc.

I know you're livid right now because I see it coming and I know you do too.. Dwight's coming

LALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU.

[King of Canada]

I am at a loss for words.

Try starting out with 4 letter ones

then work your way up to multi-syllabic words ending in -er

Yes, and that involve mothers!

[ORANGEandBLUE]

Wait, Calderon was in the deal and we didn't give up picks? This deal is okay.

Except for Grant who is basically like a pick and will a look a lot better now that he isn't playing the stupid **** triangle.

[AllanH20]

Honestly, trading Lopez is going to hurt this team a lot more than we realize. The guy might not put up the best stats but he did all the little things and was a major reason why KP was able to get rebounds and Melo's rebound number rose this year too..

Agreed but they're obviously going to go after a big in FA to mitigate some of that.

[Knicksfan1992]

I just don't get throwing Grant in there too. Like one of Rolo or Grant should have been the cut-off. Grant as a hedge if Rose gets hurt makes a lot of sense.

[CJackson]

I'm rustling around in my change jar looking for hope because it is lost and I can't find it

[EchelonNYK]

I see no young players in this deal. So typical of the Knicks always thinking win now, and not building a solid foundation with the best player they've drafted in years

And don't talk to me about cap. Durant isn't coming here.

[Red Vines]

We had Grant on a rookie deal for three more years... You know Phil called his "friends" over in Chicago and was lied to about Rose.

[NoLayupRule]

I thought I had hit my limit with the vujacic **** last yr... I can't even deal right now. There's no way to justify this trade, and I'm a rose fan! Wtf are you doing, phil?

why do you feel that way?

because of Lopez or grant?


in a way Jackson just freed up a ton of cash for next year too

if Rose doesn't pan out we shed that salary and don't have Lopez

granted we need talent not cap space
but Rose is talented and in a contract year which will motivate him to actually suit up

[Wonderllama]

Horford actually is a distinct possibility now from what I'm hearing.

The New York Knicks are ALL-IN for the 1st round

[god shammgod]

is rose gonna play in the triangle ? roflololol

[Ganji]

Justin Holiday may be the best player in this trade. He's got potential

i am not sure how he did this year, but he was balling with warriors, really liked him.

[NoLayupRule]

Im taking that Dwight Howard report by Begley seriously.

He was the one who broke the initial story about Knicks discussing Rose.

Rose wasnt bad after the all-star break. But man, I just dont trust his injury issues. And he doesnt attack or finish around the paint like he used too.

I think Noah is a more reasonable expectation now

[Shoryuken]

i love this move phil. its more appealing to free agents this coming up season then having to show them lopez and grant and calderon. plus we have a ton of cap space to spend on 2017.

Your mother!

[K_ick_God]

Knicks are going for Steph next summer.

[NoLayupRule]

Horford actually is a distinct possibility now from what I'm hearing.

The New York Knicks are ALL-IN for the 1st round

Horford next to KP and Melo is something Ive long fantasized about

[King of Canada]

So now we're not after a pg for sure. KOQ will get more burn. Hopefully we can squeeze in a great swing player AND a big.

[moocow007]

Couldn't he have at least gotten a draft pick this year?
