Knicks · Derrick rose is F Good (page 1)

We got him for Dennis smith jr 😂

It also helps that he is playing for thibs vs. Hornaceck, who was forced to run the triangle.

Plus a #2 to be fair. But still a steal. Especially compared to the moves many were clamoring for at the trading deadline.

100% correct

Dream off season is: Let go of Payton and Frank.
Sign: Kyle Lowry-2 year deal(20 million per)

Our immediate gratifications is signing good players next 2 years.

Our long term gratifications is continuing to build our greatest asset(interchangeable role players)

Yeah I agree. The only question is if Rose can hold up as a starter with heavier minutes. If I’m the Knicks I treat the draft as if we aren’t signing a new starting PG in free agency. One of Dosunmu or Jared Butler should be available as an nba ready backup PG. And then we can always just grab a cheap depth PG on a 1-year deal or bring back Ntilikina. That would be the alternative to signing a Ball or Schroder. A lot of it still comes down to how they view Quickley too. As a future PG or SG.

If you're creative, you could look at the KP trade has us receiving Randle, Rose and two 1st round picks for Porzingis.

Anybody remember somebody starting a thread about how DSJ was quietly emerging in Detroit. Must have been very quiet because he's been garbage there too. Followed the same script as here, had a couple of encouraging games when he first got there, then settled into who he really is.

We definitely won the trade, even if those first round picks don’t pan out. Even if KP were healthy, Randle still is a better player.

Don’t forget Bullock and IQ who both came via the cap space. Even Noel and Burks. It's kind of fancy math but these moves all together would not have been possible without moving KP, Timmy, et al.

Perry was responsible for bringing in most of those players. as well as Randle, and Mitch. When Melo and KP's trade value were at rock bottom.

Hope Rose isnt reflexively thinking of replacing him with a CAA connection. When Perry's contract expires. If it aint' broke, dont fix it.

Ha, didn’t realize we can now add DRose to the pile of booty we hauled from the KP thread, so:

KP, Tim Jr and co, for:

DRose
Randle
Quickley
Bullock
Taj
2 first rounders
2 Detroit Second rounders

Ridiculous!

I love it too. So who gets the credit?

One person doesnt deserve all the credit. Leon brought in Thibs/Rose/Noel. Drafted Quick from a Perry pick. Loosely speaking its been a collaboration. Started with the foundation Perry put down. And built up by Rose and his new hires. Hard to find a more seemless transition between regimes.

A big reason being that Perry and Rose have demonstrated that they both bring something to the table. Makes sense to keep things the way they are. Enough of a sample size to say that Perry has earned an extension.
