In a move that aims to drive an inefficient perimeter visible, the Knicks made a big deal successfully with the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday and acquired point guard Derrick Rose, the MVP in 2011 before fighting with some serious injuries won knee.
In exchange for Rose - and guard Justin 2017 seconds and festivals around the pick - Knicks sent center Robin Lopez, Jose Calderon basis and foundation Jerian Bulls.
"This is an exciting day for New York and our fans," said Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek in a statement by the team. "Derrick is one of the best bases N.B.A. kind shown playoffs. A new dynamic added to our list and immediately raise our backcourt."
The acquisition of Rose, 27, and ostentatious as it was, was full of question marks for the Knicks.
At least, the movement added another name in bold attractive to a team that already had Carmelo Anthony and Kristaps Porziņģis. Rose, who was named Rookie of the Year in 2009 and a member of the All-Star team for the next three seasons, has long been one of the most famous faces in the league.
But many believe Rose best seasons in the past and in recent years for its long seasons on the Bulls known disabled list. He played in only 100 games of the 2011-12 season of the 2014-15 season and missed the entire 2012-13 season. Last season he appeared in 66 games for the Bulls and averaged 16.4 points and 4.7 assists in 31.8 minutes per game.

Whether a risk-benefit Rose can provide, it may be a short time with the Knicks. It has a one-year contract with a base salary of about $ 21300000 next season.
Holiday, 27 years old, 6-foot-6 guard, averaged 4.5 points in 53 games for the Atlanta Hawks and Bulls last season.
If the Knicks were looking to consolidate their backcourt, they have created another hole in their team with the departure of Lopez. The move could force them to follow a good agent free man in the coming weeks.
Lopez joined the team as a free agent last summer and after a slow start, has found its way in the second half of the season. He started all 82 games and averaged 10.3 points and 7.3 rebounds. His bruising presence in the central position, allowed Porzingis a rookie last season, the pace and physicality N.B.A. hall
Calderon 34, started 72 games with the Knicks and averaged 7.6 points and 4.2 assists. Grant, 23, was a first round draft pick in 2015. He inherited the job basis from Calderon in the last days of the 2015-16 season the Knicks, who finished 32-50.
Knicks also announced Wednesday they had waived guard Tony Wroten.
In the room, he was released'll Rose, who was born in Chicago and played one season in Memphis before joining the team in the first N.B.A. 2008 Draft.
Rose exploded in the N.B.A., and became the youngest player to M.V.P. Awarded championship 22. It was a physical dynamo in those early years. He got up and cut into the company's shares to the circle, and overwhelming athleticism helped their shortcomings fired underworld. Rose has played in 240 games in his first three seasons in the league, averaging 20.9 points and 6.7 assists during that time.
A number of accidents in recent years, he was unable to reach the same heights. It began in the 2011-12 season. The Bulls finished the season tied for the best record in the league. But in the first season game, Rose tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, and the entire next season was lost because of the injury.
In November 2013, only 10 games during the season, Rose tore the meniscus in his right knee disappeared and the rest of the season. He suffered the same injury in February 2015 after the season, and lost 20 more games.
In September last year, he suffered a broken left eye socket after taking an elbow in the face, in practice, and had to undergo another operation.
The total of those injuries left him a shadow of what once was back to the court. You have the opportunity to appear again in the spotlight next season with the Knicks.
