With the rumors of Westbrook wanting out of Houston, it wouldn’t surprise me if Rose made a play for him. Russ has one of those albatross contracts along with Houston probably not wanting to give him away in a salary dump, they’ll be looking to replenish some of those assets they’ve traded away when they got him. Not going to be easy for him to become a Knick.
Some guy on the ROX bbs suggested this trade. Pretty sure the Knicks would go for it.I’m not a huge Westbrook guy, but obviously he is better than anyone we got currently. I guess my question is when we are talking about trading for Westbrook or CP3, are we talking about trading away RJ, MRob, or our own 1st round picks? If we are, forget it.

Channing Frye was all in on the Knicks getting Russ. I could see a deal for him for JR Payton DSJ Ellington and Dallas pick(s) for Russ and Ben Mclemore.Big week for Leon Rose, huh?
He took over in March, and now 8 months later, he’s poised to start making things happen.
Monday trades are allowed and WED is the draft and next weekend free agency begins.
8 months of preparation...
Let’s
See
What
He’ll
Do
???
JLin going full circle in his career returning to his first NBA team and his Bay Area home with him reportedly signing a GLeague deal with the Warriors.Linsanity 2. The guy is looking for another opportunity in the NBA, he's cheap, he might sell tickets. Winning doesn't seem in the picture for the Knicks to generate some excitement maybe JLin will.
