The rumors about Knicks trading for Derrick Rose seem more substantial than the usual made up Knicks rumors. If the Knicks acquire Rose, my hope is that he would come off the bench and Quickley would move to the starting lineup.
Shams Charania saying Knicks are closing in on trade for Derrick Rose in exchange for DSJ and “draft compensation”.
Draft compensation? R’uh r’oh. 2nd round pick? It couldn’t possibly be a 1st round pick, could it?
It's a moronic move. Don't give up any draft assests. No Thibs only needs to bring Noah out of retirement, so he can pretend it's 2012. This will delay Q's development because now he will bring Rose instead of Q off the bench as Elfrid' back-up. This is ship is going nowhere and you know why?: Everthing Dolan touches dies.
Rose averaging 14&4, and has embraced backup role. This has to come at expense of EPs minutes. Still dumb to trade assets for a guy we can sing in a few months.
Reportedly, Brooklyn, Clippers, Milwaukee, and Miami all wanted Derrick Rose.
If Brooklyn had gotten Rose, fans and media would be all like ?Brooklyn does it again!?.
Instead, we get Rose off the board and possibly create a market to trade Austin Rivers.
Brooklyn has had their share of criticism...namely the oddity of Kyrie, them having only 1 ball for 3 finicky stars, and the fact they can?t play defense...they do not get showered with endless praise
Had we not made the deal, the market for Rivers still remains correct?
Does he get minutes with Rose here or do we DNP him endless amount of games to get a 2024 2nd round pick 45-55 range after he strummed his harp and sang tenor about not being scared to sign in New York in the offseason
We?re the 2012 Bulls except lesser parts
What if Bulls make Zach Lavine available?...We may have to dig into a stash of assets we would prefer not cuhz we didn?t build up the assets we should?ve, we devalue the ones who have it, traded off a couple already setting a low bar
