Ian Begley: Derrick Rose on Immanuel Quickley: “He’s a dog. He’s a dog. I can’t explain it. You’ve got to be a player to understand it. We’re in a fight, I know he’s fighting.” Rose and Quickley were on the floor together for long stretches in Tuesday’s 98-96 loss to MIA. – via Twitter IanBegley

The addition of DRose puts Knix in a position to trade Rivers or Elf.
And NYK certainly willing to listen to offers for Franc and Knox.

POR comes to mind as the first team that needs a backup PG.
They could use Franc or Elf's defense.
They have Nassir Little ('10 #25 pick; 6'5" chunky SF), Elleby ('20 2nd rounder; 6'6" energy SF) and Giles as surplus.
I just saw Elleby have a nice active game v. PHI, but it was pretty much his career high in everything nearly doubling his season/career minutes.
I've seen little of Little; Giles a decent young banger who needs better focus.
I'd like to get somebody more in the 6'7-6'8" range, who plays D.

Maybe a Simons trade.  Simons is becoming a solid gunner and scorer, but rarely passes.  But with Derrick Jones and Melo, POR probably doesn't want/need Knox.

Would POR do ELF & Franc for Simons + Elleby?
That would get both teams what they need.
POR G defense; Knix outside shooting.

The other option I'm less fond of:
Knox & Franc for Simons & Little/Elleby.
Both teams would have to think about it.

Knix get a young 3-point sniper. Either their long-term SG or a bench flamethrower. 
POR gets a defensive G.
POR gets to develop Knox (under Melo tutelage);
NYK takes a flyer on Little or Elleby.

Would not be prudent if trying to max out wins.

Yeah, why would we try to get better?
You think the front office added Rose and is done?

We have 3 PG's -- Elf, Rose & IQ & 3 SG's -- RJB, Burks, Rivers.
Franc is well out of the rotation.  So is Rivers for now.
If we can trade some surplus G's for a 3-point shooter or an energy F, we should look into it. 

Rose has to be happy to get out of DET.
Looked good in the 1st game of his 2nd tour.
Though has to learn not to expect Nawlins to catch anything on the move, except for lobs which can be dunked.

1st half was a pretty wild game of runs.
NY bench did real well.

MIA really zooms around on D, switching everything, doubling, etc.
Knix starters 4-15 on 3's ...

One thing I'd do differently than Thibs is the minutes.  RJB's are down recently. 
But Randle for 37 mins in a game where he was really off?
Free Obi!

Right.  Deals are in motion.  For sure. 

Let's just ask how your trade makes us better? Squanders assets in my estimation. 

Am I opposed to shopping Frank and/or Kevin?

No.

But I think your deal is lame, but then, I'm a weak minded pom pom gurl.  Guilty as charged. 

Hey, the other day you were willing to trade Obi for a bag of magic beans. 

We are not moved.

One thing the Rose trade showed is the Knicks FO isn't the easy mark is used to be.  Detroit supposedly wanted Knox.  Leon said no.  Then they asked for their #2 back.  Leon said no to that as well.  Refreshing to not be taken to the cleaners Walsh/Grunwald style.

Let us not lose sight of...

Barrett can play some 3 - and he can SIT at times as well (as we have seen already)

12 goes fine into 10.  No need to clip the troops.  Let them all enjoy the process.
