I don't understand the Rose trade. What does either team hope to get out of it? Do the Knicks think that they're much better than they actually are?

Frees up cap space so they can give Dwight the max

Worst case scenario for the Knicks is they clear a bunch of cap space for next year, and the PG free agent crop is really weak this year. The only problem with the trade on their end is that a one dimensional scorer who can't play off ball seems...suboptimal next to Melo

Bulls get rid of a guy who had a negative VORP and a 27% usage percentage (aka a 'Kobe') for a very passable 28 year old Center with a lot of side-show-Bob cross promotion possibility. For real though I live in Illinois and would have been shocked if they didn't move him. There's too much harsh feelings and dislike for his bad production. It was basically just who would give them the most. Knicks get... i guess the 1% chance that DRose becomes a thing again? And they dumped a lot of dollars (assuming they don't do something stupid like extend DRose, which they probably will).

Do Knicks posters think this is a precursor to more Porzingis at the 5, or will they go after a center in free agency to replace RoLo? (it's definitely the latter and it will definitely be Dwight, right?)

So CLE was a great 3P team and quotes Steve Jobs. All the narratives are crumbling to pieces.

Tae posted:Makes sense, otherwise why the gently caress would you want Gasol back? He's awful now, especially at whatever price he'll get this offseason. There's a queer contingent last year that thinks Gasol was trash. He was their #2 guy behind Butler. If Gasol leaves the Bulls are one Butler injury away from being one of the leagues worst.

dokmo posted:Chill out dude we haven't even gone through the draft much less free agent season. Well the Knicks have no draft picks and no real tradable assets. We have cap space but the last thing we should be doing is signing a Demar Derozan and dooming ourselves to mediocrity forever. This isn't so much about Wroten, he wasn't particularly good or anything, than it is about the lack of talent on the roster and the bizarre trade for Rose. My concerns are acquiesced a bit if it's a one year rental but I'm worried they're going to give him a new contract.

I'm arguing with friends on Facebook who are crushed that D Rose got traded, they all think he's still an all-star caliber player, and they think the Bulls completely hosed up their team. Just a casual reminder about how this is literally the only rational discussion space for the NBA on the Internet.
