There is a 50-50 chance to win every basketball game, and Derrick Rose thinks the newly assembled New York Knicks have very good chances at winning every game. Rose was traded to the Knicks earlier this summer and is joining the likes of Joakim Noah, Courtney Lee and Brandan Jennings as the Knicks newly acquired assets. With Carmelo Anthony and Kristaps Porzingis the other two cogs in that system, the Knicks looks like a completely different team from last years 32-50 team.
Rose was speaking with Slam Online at his annual launch of his Adidas shoe, the DRose7’s, and spoke on the Knicks chances of doing well next year:

With a team that would win a 2012 NBA championship, the Knicks have a wide range of possibilities as to how well they’ll do, and it all depends on health. If Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah and Carmelo Anthony can stay healthy for an 82 game season, the Knicks will find themselves in playoff contention, but if they fail to keep healthy, they could be at the bottom of the Eastern Conference once again.
