"Pro Court Report" Fantasy Basketball Report

Derrick Rose was reportedly traded to the Knicks on
Wednesday.

The Chicago Bulls sent Rose, Justin Holiday and a 2017 second-round draft pick to the New York Knicks in exchange for big man Robin Lopez and point guards Jerian Grant and Jose Calderon.

The trade reportedly happened on Wednesday.

But Rose has not been playing as well since his knee issues a couple of seasons ago. However, the Knicks have been looking for someone to help Carmelo Anthony operate the team's offense, and Rose can definitely do that if he stays healthy.

Chris Broussard of ESPN spoke to a source "close to Rose," who said the point guard is excited about playing for the Knicks. "His 1st choice was New York (if traded)," the source told Broussard. "He wants the spotlight."

Rose posted a 13.5 player-efficiency rating in 66 games with the Bulls in 2015-16.
