Knicks Trade For Former MVP Rose

NEW YORK (AP) — Just call him Broadway Derrick Rose.

The New York Knicks have acquired Rose from the Chicago Bulls in a multi-player deal. The Knicks also received guard Justin Holiday and a 2017 second-round pick from the Bulls for center Robin Lopez and guards Jose Calderon and Jerian Grant.

Rose was a three-time NBA All-Star and the 2011 MVP during his eight years in Chicago. However, he’s played just 166 games over the last five seasons after suffering a severe knee injury during the 2011 playoffs.

Rose averaged 16.4 points in 66 games last season.
