Woj hates a Knicks move. Shocker
When was the last time the Knicks made a good trade?
Breh, there's always a home for you here.
I think this is a reset. And if Rose plays well, then they'll consider keep him. But more likely, it'll be things like "Hey Russell Westbrook, if we did THAT with Rose, imagine what we could do with YOU." Even though, obviously we have no shot at him. I just think THAT'S what's happening here.
This move has a LOT of ass-covering built in:
- If Rose breaks again, the team tanks, and we get a nice lottery pick (and maybe melo has had enough).
- If he plays well, you can use that to attract some free agents, even if you can't get stars, you can get some solid guys that want to come to a competitive nyk teams.
- No matter what, the Knicks are starting this season with a better point guard, probably Melo and KP at their best positions, and there's nothing but flexibility ahead.
Yeah, but who cares. If we're being honest, Rose was a league average pg last season. Middle-10 on the curve. I don't think it's crazy to believe that Grant could be come a league average pg. We're not trading for rose to replace Grant, you're giving up Grant and Lopez to 1) Shed Cap, 2) Grab a Derrick Rose lottery ticket.
It's early, we have to see what they do in the draft and in free agency still -- but right now, they are ATROCIOUS defensively, no matter how you build out the starting 5. a
At what point during this does Isiah take off the Phil mask?
Huh ? What's your problem with this tradeAt what point during this does Isiah take off the Phil mask?
Biggest issue? Rose is toast and the Knicks got worse. But it does put us in play for the #1 overall is 2017, which I guess could be good. I dont know much about that class though.

Just need Whiteside to complete this photo. In Jax We Trust.
The offseason just started and your acting like this ?
The offseason just started and your acting like this ?
The Knicks only won 33 games last year and just lost their starting center who was arguably their most productive player and are bringing in a PG who cant stay healthy and hasnt been even average since 2012.
Big picture I dont mind the move but you're kidding yourself if you think this just improved the team for next year.

the knicks got the best player in the deal who's only on a 1 year deal if he sucks. this is a great deal for them.
How is this trade tanking ?? And again the offseason isn't over you don't know what other moves he got
