Derrick Rose back with the Knicks, he and Thibs will be working together after Chicago, Minnesota and now in NY.

Interesting to see how this trade plays out for both the team and Rose, Knicks definitely have a shot at the playoffs in the East, currently holding the 8th spot.

Plenty of guards at Thibs disposal, i just hope Quickley doesn't get his minutes reduced as he has shown promising things thus far, Knick fans can attest to that.

Oh, Dennis Smith Jr goes to the Pistons, part of the trade.

I do not get why Derrick Rose was sent for DSJ and a pick, like yes Rose is a good player but we are talking about a young player who is not that bad plus a draft pick to get him, Rose is way too old to deserve something like that. He played only 15 games so far and he averaged only 14 points in those games too, not that he is a bad player that is good and DSJ played only 3 games with only 3 points so I know he is not good but he was a player who had 14+ points for a while, he is still 23 years old and could get better, whereas Rose is 32 already and on the downhill of his injury ridden career, I doubt he could make any impact on any team.

I understand teams wanting him, specially teams who want him as second PG on their team, that makes perfect sense, but wanting him for Draf picks doesn't really make sense. Both New York and Detroit are bad teams anyway so this shouldn't matter much.

Dennis Smith was never going to get burn on this team with thibs. Quickley is next in line, and thibs already shows the kid trust. I think the move is for them to compete this year but also provide that vet guidance to quickley and the younger guys. I dont think this eats into quickleys lile like it will to burks. Quickley is only getting 12-13 minutes a game it think that stays the same. No point just leaving him on the bench for the year
