Looks like the best 38 win team money can buy.

I'd hope this would be Dwight realizing what he is.

I'm not blaming any single person but yeah I'd put more on Harden than Dwight. He's no longer a Rocket, I don't care. He was a small part of the problem but I put more on James and Morey.

That's exactly what this reminds me of. Going to be a failure

Not even close. The Knicks aren't shelling out firsts. Rose will be a free agent. They aren't sacrificing any major pieces and can still build around Porzingas.

The nets sold their soul for a 4th seed. If the Knicks get that its a win.

At least these guys are in the prime of their careers. That Nets team was a hospice

I'm just talking about the team. Not the state of the franchise. Rose for a year is fine but bringing in Howard is disasterous

If this team becomes a thing, hard to tell how they do. Howard and Anthony are career losers and Derrick Rose has played in 40% of all possible regular-season games over the last five years.

Not many current players in the league with a better winning % than Dwight Howard. Career loser? Pfft. Lebron never even goes to Miami if it wasn't for D12 kicking his arse back in his Orlando days. When a team Howard is on goes .500 and loses in rd 1 of the playoffs it is a MASSIVE failure. That shows how much winning and D12 are synonymous.

This is such Knicks thing to do. Everyone starts getting excited and it all just comes crumbling down.

I agree if they decide to play and really play they could be a good combo of players.

Dwight, Staps and Melo is the best front line in the East. Lots of versatility too.


Agreed. If Hornacek can coral Dwight, that team will do well even if Rose only plays 50 games.

They're going to need to strike gold on waivers/minimum contracts for backup PG if Rose plays that amount of games. Hell even if he plays 82 games they're going to need a competent backup which they don't have.

Ya never know with that line up. IF everyone commits to their role this team can be a legit contender. They all have their BS but you don't just forget how to play basketball.
