NEW YORK (AP) -- Jalen Rose was waived Monday by the New York Knicks, leaving their roster one below the regular-season maximum of 15.
The 33-year-old Rose averaged 12.7 points in 26 games for the Knicks last season after being acquired in a February trade with the Toronto Raptors. The 6-foot-8 guard/forward, a 12-year veteran, was scheduled to make $16.9 million this season.
The move clears a logjam in the Knicks backcourt, where they have veterans Stephon Marbury, Steve Francis, Nate Robinson and Jamal Crawford. New York opens the regular season at Memphis on Wednesday.

-

-

I wouldn't mind gettin' him. I think the only way that we'd be able to is through trade.

LOL@Jalen Rose coming to the Lakers. :puke:

Knicks looking good though:
PG Stephon Marbury...Nate Robinson
SG Steve Francis...Jamal Crawford/Mardy Collins
SF Quentin Richardson...Jarred Jefries/Renaldo Balkman
PF Channing Frye...Malik Rose/David Lee
C Eddy Curry...Jerome James/Kelvin Cato

Francis and "Starbury" will destruct in the back court. they have no chance. isiah might have to lace them up to keep his job.

I think it can work...I mean, there's no reason it shouldn't, they're both VERY talented players, and Steve Francis has been a shooting guard in a point guards body his whole life...Now he can comfortably start at the 2.

That's what they have rotations for...Jamal Crawford, Steve Francis, Quentin Richardson, Jared Jeffries, Nate Robinson, and Stephon Marbury can all play the 2 on their squad.

true. however, if they play a team that runs up and down the court, they will have problems.

Shit works in a up tempo game but not a half court game. Ask Phoenix.

Looks like Rose is going to Phoenix BTW:

Does not really fit in with Phoenix's style but they need some players that can play with their back to the basket. No real post player other than Thomas.

^^LOL...Phoenix is done.
