You don't watch College hoops ?

Already making progress

Traded KOQ for #24 overall & Spencer Hawes

 

[8pm at msg]

If we manage to get a first rounder, who would you want from this year's draft?

 

[Master Zik]

Have fun with Rose playing 60 games. Have fun with Rose taking nights off just because. I wish him the best but he's injury prone.

Rose hasnt played 10 consecutive games of 30 minutes are more since 2011. Be prepared to sign a backup PG

I wouldn't mind if he didn't play a game and was in a suit a season. Trade was worth it to get a pick and get rid of Caldo.

Gained money [emoji]128176[/emoji] for next year's off-season free agency.

This season would be nice if we get to the playoffs but other than so what? Hopes and expectations only changes if KD joins.

Would rather get 2-3 2nd round picks instead. Zero risk and cheap.

Imagine if we could pull off a robbery like that

After some wheeling & dealing I somehow ended up with this:

Rose/Galloway/Payton II
Crabbe/T. Johnson
Kidd-Gilchrist/Pookie
Melo/DWill
Porzingis/Hernangomez/Hawes

You're fired

Is what I'd tell you if you were the GM of the Knicks and I was the owner.

 

[lver of jordan]

Rose has a rape case?

Yeah, he does

The trial will be on Oct. 4

A woman seeks $21.5 mill in damages

Shessssh

You can't make this **** up....

Derrick Rose broke his finger the 1st game of the season

I guess 2K has told us our future

 

[goldenchild9]

Big Willy might step in and be a better fit than RoLo right off the bat.

Him and KP already have history and Euro bigs are great passers, perfect for their role in the triangle.

RoLo's weak play making ability might have been what made him expendable.

 

[pr0phecy718]

Nice to see Willy is joining next season

 

[rillo561]

Phil really needs to cut his hair off

Dude too rich to be looking like that

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Where y'all watching the presser

 

[rillo561]

Was watching it on ESPN, it's not on anymore.

Derrick Rose broke his finger the 1st game of the season

We finished 44-38 (6th seed). Then this happened...

Melo led us on an improbable run to the Finals. 

Ended up losing in 6 but after this i'm confident i could be an NBA GM.

Final season stats:

Chris Herring ‏@HerringWSJ 8m8 minutes ago
Phil suggests that weak PG market in this class factored into choice to go get Rose. Says he and Mills felt team needed an attacking threat.

Chris Herring ‏@HerringWSJ 6m6 minutes ago
Phil, on whether list of FA bigs vs FA guards factored into why they felt OK letting Robin OK: "You're on the right track" w that suggestion

Chris Herring ‏@HerringWSJ 3m3 minutes ago
Asked Phil if he thinks Porzingis can fill the starting C role. Didnt answer either way, but said team clearly has to address position in FA

Chris Herring ‏@HerringWSJ 3m3 minutes ago
Phil also says he could envision Kristaps playing small-ball C at end of gms more over time. Which seemingly suggests he may not start at C

Chris Herring ‏@HerringWSJ 2m2 minutes ago
Phil says he'd like to potentially keep Rose long-term if it makes sense, but obviously has to see what happens this year, bc of his health.

Chris Herring ‏@HerringWSJ 1m1 minute ago
Phil, on Rose's reaction to coming to NY: "He was happy about it. ... We know the drive that he has, and that's important."

[Hank Scorpio]

If Melo averages 22, 7 and 6...that would be INCREDIBLE

I'd be happy if Rose is averaged 21 for us as well. Porzingas with a realistic 15 and 8.

EDIT: Wait, how is Charlotte the #1 seed in the east? Where does LeBron play?

EDIT #2: Ric Bucher reporting Westbrook is "good to go despite a broken ankle"

 

[d3si]

Derrick Rose is a highly possible long term plan

Ian Begley ‏@IanBegley 56s56 seconds ago
Phil Jackson says the club was considering trading Derrick Rose before the Jeff Hornacek hire.

Ian Begley ‏@IanBegley 5m5 minutes ago
Phil Jackson says the Knicks would like to have Derrick Rose long term but that's not a conversation for today.

Ian Begley ‏@IanBegley 8m8 minutes ago
Phil Jackson says the acquisition of Rose - & loss of Robin Lopez - means NY will be looking for a big man this

Ian Begley ‏@IanBegley 15m15 minutes ago
Phil Jackson says the Knicks felt the need to have a "decisive, attack guard" in obtaining Derrick Rose.
