Rose isn't washed, he's in a terrible situation being asked to do way too much. His prime has passed obviously but he's not washed, just diminished (from MVP form..) Phil did an awful job allocating their $$ this summer - In doing so he put the team behind the 8 ball. Hornacek isn't a good coach either, I always told Knicks fans that after watching his stint in PHX. He doesn't seem to be built for NY either - He predicted a 3 game win streak before that embarrassment of a game last night (Davis would've dropped 50-60 on them without the Kyle O'Quinn flagrant 2 and Davis leaving the game)
Just look at the last time the Jazz played the Knicks -- Rose was the only one keeping them in the game in the 2nd half..
I watch pretty much every single Knicks game, things are souring there collectively. It's an obvious toxic environment, a la the Larry Brown Stephon Marbury/Steve Francis days. There's no accountability there on defense, which results in low effort- and given their defensive talent level, it's a recipe for disaster.
I do wholeheartedly believe there's some good landing spots for Rose to start in the NBA.. **** I'd say Sacramento's an obvious one.
I kinda like the idea of trying to swap Mack/Diaw + some picks for him as a rental to come off the bench, he'd be a massive upgrade.. It's a good spot for him IMO, Ingles is tailor made to play with him. Burks and Lyles are good fits too...
Joakim Noah was the deathknell... Over the summer I was staunch that they should've just started Hernangomez at C.
