Per Woj: Knicks-Bulls Closing in on Derrick Rose Trade/ Edit: Done deal

[trick]

Bulls won on this trade NY just wanna sell tickets and fake dreams

they not getting any of those other guys. They won because of Lopez who is better than pau and Noah defensively got rid of that Rose money also

How? The Bulls got a career backup back. They didn't clear any cap room. They didn't get any future picks. The Knicks didn't risk anything. Those guys together equaled Rose salary.

They can easily get someone to replace Lopez. They have Willy Hernangomez coming over from Spain this year and he's one of the best rebounders outside of the NBA. They still have nearly $40 mil in cap room this summer. They will get someone. DeWayne Dedmon is someone cheap they can pursue. Biyombo can be had if they overpay him. If this doesn't work out, Rose comes off the books next year. This is a no brainer for NY.

Rose makes sense cause we aren't committed to him

I don't want us to throw a bunch of money and years at Dwight

This is as much about flexibility as it is taking a shot at rose

Knicks are back... 8th seed or die

Rose is washed... Not getting 70 games outta him

I'm so confused by this thread...

Bulls weren't winning shyt with rose...so why hang on to him?

New York knicks are better...but are they doing anything but being the 7th or 8th seed with Melo and Rose?

So how did anybody "win" this trade?

 

[SCORCH]

It actually started to thunderstorm as I read the news on the bottom of my tv screen, shyt was surreal

Rose is washed and the Knicks will still be trash.

But damn @ the thought of:
Rose
Bum
Melo
Porzingis
Howard

 

[dizzy4111]

fwiw, I don't see the contract year thing being a factor in Rose's play. Effort was the least of his problems last year.

I'm sayin.

Isn't he still recovering from another knee injury?

 

[Joe Sixpack]

Knicks won
Get rid of dead weight and if rose is ass he's a fa anyways

Derrick Rose is washed

 

[Birnin Zana]

This should be a lesson to everyone that got mad at LeBron for leaving Cleveland the first time.

Once you aint at MVP level no more your hometown team will ship you out with the quickness.

Fukk all that loyalty talk when these owners only care about winning for money.

Word. So much for "loyalty."
