go to his website: http://www.jalenrose.com/jalenrose/index.jsp?section=1 and click on "jalen helps vh1 save the music" then scroll down to read the blurb about him wanting to be a knick. i don't blame him for dreaming but its out of the realm of possibility.
Yeah, J.Rose was on Hot 97( New York Radio station) a few weeks ago and he was expressing his dream of playing for the Knicks. And he said that him & Isiah have a good relationship, despite the rumors that him & Isiah didnt see eye to eye, while he played for the Pacers under Thomas as the Coach. DJ Envy, who was the host of the show, kept begging him to come to NYC and take the shooting guard role from the 100 million dollar man Allan Houston. But Jalen Rose made it pretty clear that it was only a dream. And said that he is looking forward to leading the Raptors back to the playoffs. In no way did he say he wanted to bolt/leave the Raptors or disrespect the Raptors organization or fans, All Jalen did in the interview was express a dream of wearing the orange and blue. A dream that alot of NBA players have had since their younger days.
I wouldn't read much into it. If you ask all players, at least 60% would confess that they dream of playing in the Garden as a Knick (Start with Vince and Rafer), although I like Jalen admitting it, but he also said "I don't wanna piss off Toronto". It ain't nothing but a dream.
i found it intriguing that he put it on his own website clearly indicating to me that he wants his intentions (wishes/dreams) to be public knowledge.

He has said he's looking forward to make some noise and help toronto, this article headline is true(But as people said, is just a typical basketball dream. This is no way like the stupid trade demands that have occurde this past off season
hopefully he doesn't b**ch about it when we get another losing season..........(just don't wanna be too positive)
Hell, I have a dream of playing for Oak Hill Academy, but does that mean I want to bolt my current school.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Trip:</div><div class="quote_post">Hell, I have a dream of playing for Oak Hill Academy, but does that mean I want to bolt my current school. </div> are u good enough?
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Chungster:</div><div class="quote_post">What's up with the immaturity of all these players by asking for trades?</div> Rose didn't ask for a trade. If you're talking about the others like Peja, Shaq, Baron(his agent atleast), VC (his sources) among others, then all I know is that they aren't built to lead a team into the playoffs and beyond. Well except for Shaq, that was a totally different scenerio. Peja's a whiner, his father left him, so he has to leave too.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting deception:</div><div class="quote_post">are u good enough?</div> Is that the point? Is Jalen Rose's contract attractive to the Knicks? Will they want his contract?
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Chungster:</div><div class="quote_post">What's up with the immaturity of all these players by asking for trades?</div> LOL!!! how can you say that after reading the article?? in which part does he ask for a trade?
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Trip:</div><div class="quote_post">Hell, I have a dream of playing for Oak Hill Academy, but does that mean I want to bolt my current school. </div> Yeah, that'll be such a heart-breaker to your school staff and the fans, on the other side, Oak Hill will have another lock lottery pick coming out of its gates.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Trip:</div><div class="quote_post">Is that the point? Is Jalen Rose's contract attractive to the Knicks? Will they want his contract?</div> no and no. but can u play?
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting deception:</div><div class="quote_post">no and no. but can u play?</div> Again, is it the point? If you have a personal agenda against me, I suggest we take it to PM's or AIM.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> What's up with the immaturity of all these players by asking for trades? </div> I hate it when people twist something into something else without even getting the facts straight. Some of you guys are making this seem more dramatic then it is, calm down. Read Henacy's post before jumping to conclusions and labeling Rose 'immature' just because he said he's dreamed of playing for the Knicks. Baron Davis dreams of playing for the Lakers. Every player dreams of winning championships and being the MVP. Everyone has thier own dreams, as does Rose. Nowhere did he say he wants to be traded. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> Hell, I have a dream of playing for Oak Hill Academy, but does that mean I want to bolt my current school. </div> Exactly.
