Derrick Rose Traded to the Knicks in a Blockbuster Deal

[coolcras7]

Rose has a lot to play for this year, so if healthy he will push his body further than he did last season.

I'm really really sad , they should have just let him play out his contract . This hurt , the city is emotionally attached to Rose

Yeah, in 2012.

I'm a lifelong Bulls fan living in Chicago. No one I know is emotionally attached to him any more. The injuries, the weird comments, the poor play this year. It was time.

Yeah a lot of bulls fans a scum, to make fun of someone getting injured is low, yeah it his fault he got a eye injury during preseason that did not allow him to practice and had him seeing double for half the season, but whatever, I hope Chicago goes 54 years without winning about championship.

I don't understand all the hoopla for Rose. He hasn't played a full year since 2010. Last year he played 66 games, had an average of 16 points per game, and like 4 assists per game.

He's not that good anymore and he's a walking hospital bed. Like, I don't get it. There are many PG's better. *shrug*

As a Knicks fan, I hate the deal.

I pretty much agree with this:

Quote:

The trade of Robin Lopez, Jose Calderon and Jerian Grant for Derrick Rose, Justin Holiday and a 2017 second-round pick is straight-up garbage. . . . The Knicks had roughly half of a pretty good roster in 2015-16. The frontcourt of Lopez, Kristaps Porzingis and Carmelo Anthony was legitimately one of the best in the conference. Sure, they didn't have a starting-caliber guard, but the combination of Calderon, Grant, Langston Galloway and Lance Thomas could have formed a solid bench behind a better backcourt pair. There was at least a foundation to build on. No longer. With one move, that half-a-team has been cut in half. Lopez, his solid all-around game and his extremely reasonable salary, are gone. Grant, who showed real promise toward the end of the season, is gone. Even Calderon, a deadly shooter and steady backcourt hand who was finally at the end of his contract, is gone.

I'm sorry but Calderon was trash. "Steady backcourt hand" oh please lmao.

Who that the Knicks could get? Mike Conley is the top free agent point guard.
They already tried to get Teague at the deadline.
