    I just read on realgm that Rose was likely to be off the knicks roster soon via trades or buyout...
    Who can you see him getting traded for and do you see any other knicks players going with him?

    Basically they got Renaldo Balkman, 1/2 season of an unproductive Rose for whatever they paid him last year and however much the buyout is going to be this year.

    I think Denver would be a good fit for him, going back to where he started at. Besides Carmelo, there's no proven wing scorer on that team, and he will help tremendously as JR Smith develops.

    I think Rose has a short list of teams he wants to play for.

    1. Detroit - a return to his hometown
    2. Philly - him and Webber have always wanted to reunite
    3. LA - he expressed wanting to play for PJax and Kobe, and he loves the city

    It's official now, Rose's contract was bought out by the Knicks.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">New York Times - The New York Knicks are negotiating a buyout of the final year of Jalen Rose’s contract, which calls for him to earn $16.9 million, the New York Times has confirmed. The precise terms of the buyout are not known.

    “We’re close to reaching an agreement, and my expectation is it could be done as early as tomorrow,” Arn Tellem, Rose’s agent, said last night.

    Rose, 33, became expendable after the Knicks signed small forward Jared Jeffries over the summer. They also drafted small forward Renaldo Balkman with the 20th pick.</div>
