      Throwback unis for next season. I prefer the set we used this year.

        The Knicks have had internal discussions recently about trading for Bulls star point guard Derrick Rose, league sources tell ESPN.


        Who do we have to trade though???

        I don't see it happening.

          I hope that's an internet rumor, but it sounds like a typical dumba** Knick move - going after injured, past-their-prime players.

            We've already had enough injured players wearing the #1 jersey. Not again.

              I'm honestly not that worried about Rose, because it seems like everything the media has said during the Phil Jackson era has been completely wrong lol.

                Would love to get a guy like Caris LeVert or Malcom Brogdon. Jake Laymon out of Maryland should fit in well in today's league if he proves himself to be athletic enough. We're obviously interested in Isaiah Whitehead too.
                1. PF- Robert Carter (Maryland)
                2. PF- Thon Maker (Canada)
                3. SF- Ben Bentil (Providence)
                4. C- Georgios Papagiannis (Greece)

                We need a SG in the worst way but I think we should aim for a big man.

                Absolutely loved what I saw from Carter during the Combine.

                St. John's recruited both Maker and Papa so I'm really familiar with their games. Maker reminds me of Jermaine O'Neal.

                I think the SG crop is weak so we should target that position in FA.

                And hell yes to Derrick Rose injuries and all.

                  Plus "internal discussions" doesn't mean anything.

                    What about the ridiculous salary he's due next year? I'd definitely like a healthy derrick rose, which would be highly unlikely but not at that salary.

                      I couldn't care less about his salary. $21M expiring in 16/17.

                      I just want a competitive team. I can't take another year of hoping third-tier guys like Afflalo and Derrick Williams will move the needle for us.

                      Rose is injury prone but he's a beast when he's on the floor. Never hesitant. I can't remember the last guy we've had who played balls out every night.

                        I wonder what these are. Unless the details are off, it's nothing we ever wore in the past. The closest is those weird inverted things we wore in '97 for a few games but those had orange trim on NEW YORK and the trim on the shorts had the blue/orange reversed.



                        I hope we get the '92 throwbacks again instead. My fav unis ever...

                            The time-honored tradition of ex-Knicks having success once they leave NY goes on.......Mozgov, Shump and knuckle-head Smith are going to the White House........smh.......

                                Afflalo & D-Will have opted out, as expected.
