    The New York Knicks have held internal talks about trading for Derrick Rose.

    The point guard position has been identified as the Knicks' greatest area of need this offseason.

    The Chicago Bulls' desire to trade away Rose at this point is unclear. Rose will be a free agent after the 16-17 season.

    New York doesn't have many trade assets outside of Carmelo Anthony and Kristaps Porzingis

    But they do have a ton of cap space and could easily absorb Rose's contract if CHI was just looking to dump salary.

    Supposedly, they are also interested in going after Mike Conley.

    They definitely need a PG. Apparently, would prefer one that is overpaid and often injured. Makes sense. They're the Knicks.

    They are just like their fans, who have internal talks about trading their trash for other teams stars.

    This is exactly the kind of stupid trade that the Knicks would make.

    Giant boom or bust scenario for Rose so thats not a horrible idea. If i'm the knicks i'd trade Carmello for Love and then dump love to a third team in the deal for as much as I could possible get for him draft picks/young talentwise and then trade peanuts for Rose and see if he can get healthy and has any left. If he does awesome if not your not giving up much and your team is in rebuild mode anyway.
    Of course if the Bulls want anything more then a second rounder and some crappy player then i'd pass.

    His screams of Zeke still having a voice in the Knicks organization. I could see them making a Curry type move that sets them back for years.
