Still better than Payton

In his year in New York, his raw numbers looked okay (18ppg on 47 FG%) but watching him play game in and game out I can't recall a player who was as maddening to watch, and probably to play with, not even Elfrid, who I only sports-hate (Rose, I actually hate). Halfway decent boxscore stats disguised a toxic effect on team play, offensively and defensively. He was a no-D playing, selfish bucket hunter who didn't see or space the floor, didn't create opportunities for anyone other than himself, didn't deliver the ball to open teammates, was contact shy, and didn't do much of anything except dribble into contested midrange pullups and floaters (which he is actually good at, but not good enough to ONLY contribute that).

I won't even mention his no-call no show for a GAME.

Then there's this:

Question: “Do you have an understanding as to the word consent?”

Rose: “No but can you tell me?”

Question: “I just wanted to know if you had any understanding.”

Rose: “No.”

F*** Derrick Rose.

Don’t bring the fake rape stuff into this. It’s not necessary and totally irrelevant.

"Fake"?

His testimony is public record. I've read it and can judge him on it.

It's relevant because it's a reason I don't want him on my team.

Does Frank + Dennis + 2Round work?

A stupid idea. Thibs has a thing for his ex players. Plus I remember Rose mentioned the Knicks were interested in keeping him but Phil wanted to go with Frank instead. Phil is long gone. Most likely trade is Frank for Rose. I already hate it but it looks inevitable

Rose would probably still come off the bench and they would promote IQ to starter to keep some perimeter scoring in the bench unit. Would make some sense in a vacuum. I'd rather chase Lonzo personally. Pelicans have wasted him amongst the other young guys that they seem to not be able to maximize.

This.

Macri nailed Thibs to the Knicks.

And tell your friend Elfrid Payton says "Hi"

Press also nailed the knicks salivating over obi

Pistons win that trade.

F'n stupid

Thoughts: At least when Rose hunts for his own shot as a PG, he'll be semi successful as opposed to mostly unsuccessful.

I guess that's an upgrade.

Maybe Joakim would do us a solid and come back for the minimum since he's on our payroll anyway

Noah could share some weed with Obi and get his tense bunched up hunched over shoulders to relax

So much for getting younger and more athletic....smh

not interested

Id much rather test the market for Ball
or wait and let Quickly develop

I don't know why people want Ball. He has the same flaws as Payton. He may be a better defender, but he's even worse shooter(if not around the same).

I'd see what the price for Lowry is to be honest.

Lets get Luol Deng, Boozer and Noah while we're at it, why stop at just Taj and Rose?

Lonzo has been horrible this year. Lowry is a no brainer for the Knicks.

Don't understand the interest for the future if we land rose.

Rather have Ball. Younger and more upside. DRose does nothing for this team.

Rose really isn't better than Payton at this point. Especially since his finishing at the rim % has fallen off a cliff this season.
