New York Knicks Trade For Derrick Rose

Yup, D Rose is headed to New York, New York to play for my Knicks.  Or at least play, sit out a bunch due to phantom injury and play again.  When I first saw it was rumored the Knicks were going to try and trade for Rose, I immediately hated it.  All I pictured was literally every trade they made from the early 2000s to when they traded away a first round pick (this years) for Andrea Bargnani.  ANDREA FREAKING BARGNANI.  But this, this I like.  All they gave up was Robin Lopez, Jose Calderon, and Jerian Grant.  Who they traded for during last years draft and were really high on, but he sucked this year.  In return they Knicks get Rose and Justin Holiday, who had some good moments with the Warriors last year, as well as a second round pick.  So you know what?  Good move Phil.  Rose should thrive in Jeff Hornacek's system, provided he stays healthy.  Plus the Knicks get his bird rights so if they decide to resign him they can offer him the max years and money.  5 or 6 seed here we come!  Next stop sign Hassan Whiteside, or Joakim Noah, or a center not named Dwight Howard.
