Love the Derrick Rose trade to Knicks 4 Calderon, Grant and Lopez. In contract year, Rose will have to play his best. No-lose move for NYK

Given depth of PG position, Rose's health/play, expiring deal, etc, not much of a market for him. Bulls did well to get Rolo and Grant.

Quick thoughts: Another solid move for Larry Bird getting Teague for Hill. Bird continues to draft all-stars, sign them and trade for them. A Teague/Monta backcourt with George and Turner in the front court is a very solid top 4. Larry would have made a great GM for the Celtics. The Rose deal is strictly a salary dump even though he only has one year left. That's how little value Rose had. Knicks will be more interesting now. Not sure if they'll be better.
Lastly:
Ainge needs to tell all these teams demanding #3 + the moon for their all-stars, that ATL only got pick #12 for Teague. #BringYourPriceDown
