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

[L&HH]

If they get Dwight Howard this will be fukking interesting.

 

[Edub]

No no no no

Oh man wow. I need to go take a walk I think

 

[GoldenGlove]

If Rose is healthy then yes, this might be a win for us...

but Rose is never healthy fam...

This nikka roll over on the wrong side of the bed he's out for 3 months...

As a Yankee fan I been going through this ahit with Teixeira for the last 4 seasons...

Players like this ain't worth the time...

Only positive here is he's a one year rental...

He only missed 16 games this year, but

A part of me feels like he checked out here. I won't be surprised if he comes back with fire after this.

 

[Lakerman0834]

Pau gasol will come

Typical Knicks move


















Typical Knicks fan reaction



I'm a Knick fan so this is a good look for us...but only because of what we gave up for him. If anything at least Phil has got us assets to make this trade...years passed we woulda gave up 2 #1's .


Rose got alil left, we got him for 1 year and if he's washed...he walks! Best thing about this trade is getting out of those Lopez and Calderon contracts!

We used to talk about all the time how he was saving himself for prime time games or the playoffs, most of us predicted he'd go all out this upcoming season to get that big contract.

I wouldn't be surprised if he had a great year, but I wouldn't be comfortable giving him a big long term deal.

The Saga continues

I had no idea that T-Mac was a New York Knick

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

Rose is only 27. He's entering his prime years

Furthermore, I don't think he wanted to be in Chicago for the past few years. And besides, Knicks fans have been programmed to when in doubt blame Melo for so long, if it doesn't work out... they will just blame Melo

Steven A doesn't care for this deal so that's a good sign. 49 - 33 here we come

 

[CarltonJunior]

Damn.

Yeah, he put it out there before the season even started that he thinking about that next contract.

He's in an even bigger market now, has 1 year to prove doubters wrong, he's got a fresh start, Rose going to ball out more that I think about it...



For us, I guess we got a starting center for the next 3 years.

 

[obarth]

Our Knicks

Now we need Dwight

Dont do this Malc I swear to god. You better not put this evil on us, nikka

 

[Rekkapryde]

Jimmy want more Jimmy want more
Jimmy want Jimmy want Jimmy want more
Jimmy want a rib
Jimmy want a steak
Jimmy wanna show that he da man
Above all of that Jimmy gonna dab like Cam
Cause Jimmy got soul Jimmy got soul Jimmy got Jimmy got Jimmy got soul
Sooner or later a time comes around for a man to be a man and take the crown
I got to do something to shake things up
I like Derrick Rose but he ain't up to snuff
Jimmy got soul Jimmy got soul Jimmy got S-O-U-L Soul
I can do Steph
I can do Russ
And oooh baby is JImmy gonna show dat soul
Jimmy got soul Jimmy got soul Jimmy got Jimmy got Jimmy got soul

 

[King Jove]

rose is 27 but he might as well be 37

 

[So-Chi]

It's a win to never have to worry about rose and Noah again.

It's different with Rose... He's FROM here. Basketball aside the love for that nikka here is incredible. nikkas on Facebook quitting the NBA from my city. This is a slap in the face to them, and I agree. nikka was 20 and 7 last year, now Butler the face? fukk that...

Eh, he hasn't been healthy since 2011, wanted a big contract and didn't mesh that well on the court with the team's best player.

It was time to move on, the Rose/Noah era was done.
