Once I heard the Rose rumors I knew it was bad news. I am praying this works out because right now I am on the side of not liking this trade.

Thanks for the updates. This is a big change of course for the franchise. The Knicks need to get more back or this looks like the Bargs deal.
Don't understand getting a guy who's clearly on big decline with gigantic injury risk.
This opens up the possibility that we might actually target Howard now. I got to admit a healthy Rose, Melo, KP and a healthy Howard is a playoff team.
Oh man. I really hope this is wrong. WTF Phil?!?!?!?!? Have you become a gambler in your old age?
This has the signs of a major screw-up. Can anyone get on-board with this move? If so, please explain the upside.
We lose our starting center and PG-of-future for a broken down, former uber-athlete and a second rounder next year. Am I missing something?
Stein reporting Jose is in the deal.

bigger package?
Well, Lopez was a plus for us last year, but I was never a huge fan. And I think he's slightly over paid, but so is 90% of the league. They must really like Wroten or think Grant is replaceable.

Just heard it on the radio while I was doing work in the basement.
Don't like this trade unless something else is coming over.
I don't understand it at all, if it is true, unless their are other things in the works.
Can anyone tell me why this trade makes sense?

There's 2 upsides to this deal:
1. The Knicks get the best player in the deal, which means historically they'll win the trade. If Rose comes back to form this will be a coup and if not, New York has even more cap flexibility.
2. Grant likely isn't very good, and moving him with Lopez and Calderon basically off-sets any money that you take on with Rose coming in. With this in mind, the Knicks can actually target one of the many bigs that are out there in free agency instead of having to make an iffy max offer to a guard.

You have to be fucking kidding me. Now thats a (Nalod copyrighted) Starphuck. This is an Isiah move if I ever saw one. Who the fuck are we bidding against? And on top of that he's a lousy teammate WTF??????
BOOM!!!
No more slowest front court in nba history. No more Lopez lumbering slow Lopez bloodline! Mega capspace after 2017! Especially after Melo expires.
Would still love to add Lin. Rose/Lin backcourt.
Hornacek coaching.
Signed. Done!

No. I don't get it. Rolo was a really good value signing, and I think Grant was going to have a breakout year.
