Knicks and Bulls in 'advanced' talks to send Derrick Rose to NYC -- (link) - decline Jun 22, 12:15 27
- and, it is official, according to NBC Chicago -- nm - groiny Jun 22, 12:40
- if it's woj, it's solid...nm - x Jun 22, 12:19

  - Here you go: Knicks reportedly get Derrick Rose, Justin Holiday & 2nd-round pick for Robin Lopez, Jerian Grant and Jose Calderon -- nm - decline Jun 22, 12:25 12
    - That's....dumb. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 22, 12:42
    - Even though I'm ready for the bulls to blow it up, I hate that trade. -- nm - pmb Jun 22, 12:40 9
      - you're gonna have to take what you can get for rose....nm - x Jun 22, 12:55 5
        
        He's still an upper tier point guard who is coming off a season he played entirely. Trading him for pieces that don't help you doesn't make sense. - pmb Jun 22, 13:18 2
        
        he's no longer an upper tier point guard. he's mid pack at best, and has a history of health problems... - x Jun 22, 13:24 1
        
        Disagree with where you place him and yeah, it's not clear they could play together. Change of coach didn't help. My point is that you've given up a - pmb Jun 22, 13:38
        
        Yeah, that is actually a bit more than I thought they would get. -- nm - Spawn Jun 22, 13:14 1
        
        it's a totally decent deal given rose's injury history and expiring contract...nm - x Jun 22, 13:21
      - It signals that they don't trust Rose to stay healthy. I can't really blame them. - David Jun 22, 12:45 2
        
        Barely respectable. It just to me shows no direction. I think I would rather have seen them trade Butler for some guys with potential than dump Rose - pmb Jun 22, 13:00

    - I think two people would be the max I'd consider -- nm - Epiphany Jun 22, 12:34 1
      - i'd split a lease with max - gerald Jun 22, 12:37
- Only if they are family members. -- nm - Shaun Jun 22, 12:02
- Sure! What's the worst that could happen! -- nm - Qale Jun 22, 11:57 2
  - Yeah, wonder what happens at the end of the lease if it's in less than perfect condition - and they all blame each other. -- nm - Meg Jun 22, 12:07
