Knicks acquire Derrick Rose in mega-deal with Bulls

Phil Jackson has planted a Rose at the Garden. The big question is whether it has wilted or ready to bloom again.

In a stunning move that shifts the team's direction and priorities, the Knicks acquired Wednesday former MVP Derick Rose, Justin Holiday and a 2017 second-round pick from the Bulls for Robin Lopez, Jose Calderon and Jerian Grant.

The deal, which was made official in the afternoon, gives the Knicks a point guard with All-Star ability but also a scary injury history, one that includes two major knee surgeries in the last four years.

Rose will be out for 40 games while recovering from the jet lag from his flight to NYC.

The Bulls did what they had to do. Rose wants big money and a long term deal. Chicago can't give that to him. They need to rebuild and they have to do it soon. If they were smart they'd trade Butler and just stockpile as many picks as possible. Regardless, I get why they did it.

This is the Knickiest move ever. They probably want to sign Dwight Howard this offseason too.

The most important trade yesterday was the Oladipo trade.

I'm sure you know who he is, but you looked up how to properly spell his name. I know it! Stop the lying, MO.

Lyin' MO. Has a nice ring to it.

Sorry to disappoint. I can spell Thefolosia too!

I'm just kidding. That's probably wrong.
