What Derrick Rose Going to the Knicks Means for New York

Several sources have confirmed that Derrick Rose has been traded to the Knicks. The Knicks are trading Jose Calderon, Robin Lopez, and Jerian Grant in exchange for Derrick Rose, Justin Holiday, and a second round pick in next year's draft.

This is a huge trade, which has potential to shake up the NBA. The Knicks already had their star player in Carmelo Anthony, but now another star in Derrick Rose, who can be the prominent guard in the Knicks' offense, and collaborate with Carmelo to lead the Knicks to wins.

Not only that, this trade will also be useful in luring players to New York, particularly Dwight Howard. Howard has shown that he can be a dominant center who can block shots, as well as score. Derrick Rose and Carmelo on one team can attract Howard to the Knicks, which would be the league's newest Big 3, and would probably make the Knicks instant playoff contenders.

Also, the Knicks have Kristaps Porzingis, a young, versatile big man who is known for his putback dunks. Now imagine a Knicks roster headed by a superstar Carmelo, former MVP Derrick Rose, the shot-blocking Dwight Howard, and young Kristaps Porzingis.

If this trade can bring Howard to New York, the Knicks can be serious contenders in the Eastern Conference.

We can't get too hyped up about this trade, because sometimes, things just don't work out. Let's hope this trade brings success to New York, and a new Big 3 to the NBA.

Ranking the Western Conference #1: New Superteams

This offseason has been insane. This man has now teamed up with Chris Paul to form the newest superteam in Houston, and just got a huge contract extension (So look for Houston to be a contender for at least the next few years). Not only did Paul go to Houston, but Jimmy Butler went to Minnesota, Paul George went to Oklahoma City, and Gordon Hayward went to Boston. The Eastern Conference lost some of its talent, and now the two conferences are even more unbalanced. The Western Conference is now full of powerhouse teams, such as Golden State, Houston, and now even Minnesota. In this article, I'm going to go ahead and rank these teams based on how well I think they'll perform next season. 1.Golden State Warriors Honestly, who can compete with Golden State? They're coming off a championship run, they have 4 All-Stars (including 2 former MVPs and a Defensive Player of the Year), and they just got even better . The Warriors added Nick Young, Omri Casspi, and Jord...

3 Reasons Russell Westbrook Will Win MVP

Kevin Durant left Oklahoma City, a move which made the Warriors' fans ecstatic, left Thunder fans devastated, and the rest of the NBA furious. With Durant's departure, people are saying the Thunder have no chance of going to the Finals. However, Russell Westbrook disagrees, and so do I. Here is why I believe Russell Westbrook is going to have the best season of his career and win the MVP award along the way. 1. Westbrook's Mentality Russell Westbrook is known to be one of the most aggresive, reckless players in NBA history. Westbrook is one of the most competitive players of all time, and now, the fire has been ignited. With the pressure to prove that he can succeed without Durant, to prove that he is one of the best players in the NBA, and to prove that the Thunder are more than just a mediocre team, Westbrook will thrive. He will compete like he never has before, and that's scary. Personally, I believe that Westbrook, who is already one of the fiercest players in...

NBA Talk #1: 5 Moves the 76ers Can Make to Return to the Playoffs

The 76ers, a team which was home to legends like Julius Erving, Allen Iverson, Moses Malone, and many others. The 76ers have had many talented players over the years. However, right now, in 2016, this is certainly not the case. The 76ers finished the 2013-14 season with a 19-63 record. They finished the 2014-15 season with a 18-64 record. They finished the 2015-16 season with a 10-72 record. So, as you can see, the 76ers suck. The management in Philadelphia has been trading away young talent and drafting injury-prone players for the past few years. All of this needs to change. For the 76ers to become contenders again, this is what they need to do: 1.Draft Ben Simmons As you may know, the 76ers have the first overall pick in this year's draft. Now, what should they do with this pick? Draft Ben Simmons. Ben Simmons is a 6'10 forward from LSU who has been averaging 19 points, 12 rebounds, and 5 assists a game in college. Many analysts call Simmons the next LeBron Jame...
