Why trading for Derrick Rose and they sent a a second round pick as well. Quickley's development is goingto be a concern. I think that Thibodeaux is in control now, and he gets what he wants from the front office.
That pick should come in handy for the hornets as they are not in their best days.

They trusted coach Thib as this New York team was once a shitty team and they've seen some improvement this season. Although there was an improvement, but they still want to improve more to secure a playoff spot since they've been missing the playoffs since Melo left the Knicks.

Plus coach Thibs knows D.Rose very well. He has been coaching Rose since the Chicago Bulls. I'm not sure If D.Rose will become a good piece for the current Knicks roster to secure a playoff spot. D.Rose is a very versatile player anyway and his doing well with the Pistons as well he might be a perfect compliment for Barett and Randle.

how about Lin, is it possible they can sign him to bring back that LINSANITY.

He is now looking for a chance to play in the NBA per report

This means rose need's to adjust again, for another team, rose to do great job pistons, maybe the pistons are decided to move on and put a younger player in his position instead, besides rose is not getting any younger, the trade will make rose more comfortable since he is with his old coach, let's see how things go, for rose just hoping him to be always healthy, although I miss his former self, wish him all the good for the guy's season.

He is going to the New York Knicks? I think if he gets some good games on that team and managed to get a couple of wins, We will see him play in the playoffs again since the New York Knicks has some good players on them this year. I hope to see sim play again like he used to be, he just needs to get some good teammates and everything will go well with their team.



He hasn't been in the playoffs for awhile now, Rose has played in different teams after he left the Bulls but the teams he was playing with are not a playoff team. NYK is not a playoff team as well, but they are playing great this season and they might have a chance to be in the playoffs.

Time for Rose to show his skills, he may not be the old Rose but I know he can still hep the team to win, I hope he'll stay healthy.

But what good thing right now is Rose is at decent line up which possibly can go to playoffs with his addition since if he remains on pistons for sure he cannot possibly reach that far since Detroit is at the lowest standings, Detroit is in big trouble now for trading him as they lose a good veteran player. Although he's injury prone but Rose is improving from any major injuries since recently he play decently in his old team.

Sadly he merely a shadow of himself since the injury. Still pretty explosive with his footwork and drive to the basket but the league have become a lot more athletic on average, than the time Rose was the MVP.

Rose was the best, he made history, he was the ROY and the MVP and he was only 21 years old that time if I'm not wrong. That's so special, even the legend admire him and was amaze by the way he play, unfortunately a serious injury ended that, and although he is not anymore on his prime but people are still happy seeing him in the league.

That's correct, it was his first season and yet he already won an MVP, and of course ROY is automatic since MVP is the highest achievement. If only Rose was not injured,  Bulls will still be a championship contender until now, but let's accept the reality that we cannot get back in the past.

Rose stats now is not as good during is MVP year but he can still play and his stats are decent for a player that does not earn a starting line up.
TBH, I'm not following his game anymore since I usually watch a playoff teams playing, but looking at his stats, we can tell there's still left in his tank.

Derrick Rose back with the Knicks, he and Thibs will be working together after Chicago, Minnesota and now in NY.

We can call it a good news for Derrick Rose and the Knicks, if they will get into the playoffs this season, Derrick Rose can help with his experience and hopefully he can really contribute to the team. Coach Tom Thibodeau knows how the handle Rose as he work with him in different teams, now here they reunite again, I'm glad coach still believe in him, so let's get it on.
I read up clipper on the list either, they still interesting to bring Derrick to staples center. I still remember how he got 50 point when playing versus jazz while still in Timberwolves.

I don't understand what it means about Frontcourt and the Backcourt of both conferences. Based on this site, Alex Caruso has a million votes in Backcourt of the Western Conference which is really surprising since he has more votes than other players that are also doing well in the season. He's not being talked about that much but this proves how great of a player he is if these votes are accurate.
Well, i can understand a little bit, but frontcourt players are considered to be the big players, example SF, PF and C. And backcourt are the smaller players, SG and PG.

I confess, Caruso had these millions of votes because he is very beloved to the fans and also because he is a "meme player", because sometimes someone makes fun of him or something like that.
Caruso has improved a lot lately, and I believe he can improve even more.

Here's the definition of front court players and back court players so you will not be confuse.

https://www.sportsrec.com/8338357/what-is-the-difference-between-the-frontcourt-the-backcourt-in-basketball

Quote
Frontcourt Positions
The small forward, power forward and center are collectively designated as a basketball team’s frontcourt. Typically, these players play near the baseline, which is the out-of-bounds line under each basket. On offense, these players constantly move from one side of the key to the other in an attempt to free themselves to take an open shot. When used in relation to these players, the term frontcourt usually refers to their offensive responsibilities, but also carries implications to the players they defend.

Quote
Backcourt Positions
A point guard and shooting guard are collectively referred to as a basketball team’s backcourt and are commonly the players that advance the ball into the side of the court on which their team is attempting to score. The shooting guard is typically responsible for scoring the most points between the two guards, while the point guard is expected to create plays by passing the ball to open players, such as the forwards and center. Usually, these responsibilities vary based upon the type of defense the opposing team uses and on the strengths and weaknesses of particular opposing players.

Clippers might be interested but it's already a done deal, Rose is going to the Knicks.

Deal done: Knicks reportedly agree to trade for Derrick Rose, reuniting him with Thibodeau

Quote
The rumors of this deal had been picking up steam over the past 48 hours, and on Super Bowl Sunday the trigger was pulled on the trade.

Derrick Rose will be reunited with Tom Thibodeau; New York agreed to a trade to acquire Rose for Dennis Smith Jr. and a second-round pick, a deal confirmed by multiple reports.

"Sources: Detroit Pistons trade Derrick Rose to New York Knicks in deal that reunites former MVP with Tom Thibodeau"
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/30855113/sources-detroit-pistons-trade-derrick-rose-new-york-knicks-deal-reunites-former-mvp-tom-thibodeau

Derrick Rose back with the Knicks, he and Thibs will be working together after Chicago, Minnesota and now in NY.

Interesting to see how this trade plays out for both the team and Rose, Knicks definitely have a shot at the playoffs in the East, currently holding the 8th spot.

Plenty of guards at Thibs disposal, i just hope Quickley doesn't get his minutes reduced as he has shown promising things thus far, Knick fans can attest to that.

Oh, Dennis Smith Jr goes to the Pistons, part of the trade.

We can call it a good news for Derrick Rose and the Knicks, if they will get into the playoffs this season, Derrick Rose can help with his experience and hopefully he can really contribute to the team. Coach Tom Thibodeau knows how the handle Rose as he work with him in different teams, now here they reunite again, I'm glad coach still believe in him, so let's get it on.

NYK at number 8 spot now with 0.440   WIN%, hopefully that will be upped soon.

When they are together with both Bulls and Timberwolves the performance of the team was really cool, hopefully after this trade they'll once again bring the same intensity, though DRose is no longer on his MVP condition but giving him a chance he can just upgrade and
go to that mode.

It's more on how the team will blend and how the coach rotates his players for good chemistry inside the court, the chance of getting into playoff is really a good achievement, they just need to keep pushing it and compete well in each games that they have.

IIRC, the top 3 players from the frontcourt list and the top 2 from the guards' list will play in starting lineup, and I think that information from your link is out of date because it's voting results for the previous all-star weekend.

Caruso is awesome. That guy does everything right even if it doesn’t show up in the stat sheet. He’s honestly one of my favorite players to watch and is a perfect compliment to LeBron on the floor.

As for the frontcourt/backcourt, I’ve hated that change since they made it a few years ago. The center position is real and it should be respected. There’s a very real difference between the positions of LeBron and Gobert for example, it makes no sense they’re in the same category.

I was able to watch this game. My expectation when the game started is that this is gonna be an easy game for the Mavs and they're playing on their home court.
Mavs underestimated GSW, and as a result, they had huge problems with their offense and defense in the second half of the match.
And they just played again yesterday and the scores were too close. That's only a two-point lead from the Mavs and they've managed to take the loss that they've with GSW. A consecutive 2 game for both teams and the standing ended up with 1-1.

Also, I guess home or guest court doesn't have a strong impact on players because all teams play without fans this season.
Some courts I think allows having a few fans to watch live.
