Makes sense... contract is fat but the guy can score. He's just a bad fit here.

Good, this is the guy we need to trade more than even Melo. He might not play defense but the things he does getting to the basket and the things he does to get the ball in the basket are pretty amazing. He makes some layups that still shock the heck out of me that he gets them to go in. He should be worth something good for us. Ibaka just got a good 6th man in T.Ross and a 1st round pick and he's also a free agent after this year.

We read so many PG's need to do this. Rose does it amazingly.
I am no here to rain praise on him. I like the experiment and not sure I like all aspects of his play. But his drives and finish around the basket is amazing.
Im stuck in "Hope" that he can further his game. Not everyone will agree with this, but I'll defer to Phil that he'll make the best decision he can without the benefit of reading tea leaves or having a crystal ball.
IN the absence of Rose there is his cap space if we let him walk. To fill that up with Reggie Jackson, and perhaps Rubio seems like "its a better fit than Rose", but is that good enough?
To have traded RoPez and Grant was worth the look for Rose. So far his health has held up and his talent is returning. The AWOL, no so good! Not fatal in my view. For all we know, it might be the very thing that gets him exiled, or its nothing. His history follows him and anyone wanting to sign him knows this.

It could be something bizarre too -- Rose for Willy Cauley Stein and some other stuff. (We seem to be enamored with bigs)

SAC, that's interesting. Mclemore? WCS? If SAC loved the idea of Rondo, they'll love Rose and perhaps pay him.
looked at their roster, I forgot Affalo is getting 12mil per year from them!!! Whoa!

Rose is what he is. He will never be a true pg. You are right he is terrifc at going to the rim but thats about it. He was always gonna be a 1 year rental unless we were a big contender and he had a big year

It's imperative that the Knicks create a window of opportunity 3-4 years from now. With that said move Rose for pick or picks. Time to stack up on young players that will hopefully come into their own 3-4 years from now.

Look at the Kings salaries- you'd have to take on a stinker of a contract:

They have any cap space?

New York trades Derrick Rose to Brooklyn for Jeremy Lin and one more devious way to frustrate Carmelo into waiving his no-trade clause.

The best trade for Rose would be Jeremy Lin ....
Rubio equal Calderon with lesser defense n lesser points
Reggie Jackson would rather go to any team as long as its not the Knicks
The Denver Nuggets got the offense/defense big-men for a pass-first PG Rubio not Rose.

How is Rubio equal to Calderon but with less defense???
