Message: [QUOTE="Red Holzman, post: 3720712, member: 7255"] I like the trade. IQ seeks out mentors, and D. Rose was embracing a mentor role in Detroit. Doubt IQ's PT will be impacted, but when Payton is off (like today) D. Rose could play a lot. Things I like best about the trade: Another scorer to take some pressure off Randle. If IQ or Payton go down with an injury, the Knicks now have a veteran backup that's playing well. DSJ and a 2nd rd pick isn't a big price. Maybe DSJ finally finds his game in Detroit. Wonder if D. Rose would have made the difference vs. the Heat today. Knicks were battling. Hope Thibs turns it around for the rematch like vs. Bulls. Felt a lot better after the Knicks last 2 games than after watching Clemson smack listless SU yesterday. See a bright Knicks future coming into focus -maybe it's my "Rose" colored glasses, but while SU trends the other way the rebuilding Knicks are a welcome diversion! [/QUOTE]
