Message: [QUOTE="tep624, post: 1797435, member: 430"] Derrick Rose looked stronger towards the tail end of last season than he has in years. Does that mean he's back to his old form? No. But it's a high risk, high reward move by Phil with little downside. He's off the books in a year, so this isn't Stephon Marbury or Steve Francis redux. And the way the salaries balance out, the Knicks still have $30M to play around with this year. Calderon was dead weight, Grant maybe amounts to a solid backup PG in the league - the showcase he got the last 3 or 4 games of last season now looks like it was a showcase to throw him into a trade. The only real loss was Lopez but I'm sure that Phil has a trick up his sleeve and I liked that he picked up a 2nd rounder because he knows how to use late picks to get some value. [/QUOTE]
