Last week, the New York Knicks were rumored to have an interest in former NBA MVP Derrick Rose. Just a few days later, Rose is on his way to becoming a member of the New York Knicks.
Rose had been long rumored to be moved out of Chicago for a while now, often discussed as a piece that could be on the moved due to his reported issues with Jimmy Butler along with his seemingly good contract with the upcoming increase in NBA salary cap.
Now it appears that Rose is on his way out of Chi-town and he will be headed to the Big Apple for a trio of Knicks pieces.
Following from K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune.
The Bulls are sending Derrick Rose, Justin Holiday and a 2017 2nd-round pick for Robin Lopez, Jerian Grant and Jose Calderon, per source.
