The Knicks and Bulls have agreed to a deal that will send former All-Star point guard Derrick Rose to New York, sources told ESPN.
The Knicks are sending center Robin Lopez, guard Jose Calderon and guard Jerian Grant to Chicago, which is shipping guard Justin Holiday, Rose and a 2017 second-round pick back to New York, sources said.
The Chicago Tribune first reported the deal.
ESPN reported last week that the Knicks had internal discussions recently about trading for Rose, the NBA MVP for the 2010-11 season.
Both Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek and general manager Steve Mills had said that the team was interested in upgrading their point guard position in the offseason.
Rose, 27, will be a free agent after the 2016-17 season. He averaged 16.4 points on 42.7 percent shooting and 4.7 assists in 66 games in 2015-16.
The six-year veteran has appeared in just 50 percent of the Bulls' regular-season games over the past four years because of various injuries, including two major knee surgeries.
The Bulls have scheduled a 5 p.m. ET news conference Wednesday.

Lebron back to Miami, 99% sure.

Sources on @TheVertical: All-Star James Harden has agreed to a 4-year, $118M contract renegotiation that takes him through 2020 in Houston.
-
I see people comparing what Durant did to what Lebron did by going to Miami. There is a major difference eh.. LBJ went to Miami to be the team leader and the man with the most responsibility to lead the team to success. Durant on the other hand is NOT going to be the leader at GSW, this is still Curry's team. What Durant has done with his career, is forced himself into a more submissive role by joining another team wit the hope to win a championship.

and to add..When Miami win, the attention was always and mostly on Miami leader = Lebron.. that is a fact.. same happened when they lost.
Durant is not going to have this same type of pressure at GSW, Curry still carries this burden.

DeMarcus Cousins trade signals reboot for Kings
NEW ORLEANS – As the NBA trade deadline inched closer and Sacramento’s chances of looking like anything but a humiliated first-round playoff victim faded, the Kings’ front office united in one goal: Getting Vivek Ranadive on board with trading three-time All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins. For months, Kings execs, from basketball to the business side, were in lockstep with the reality that rebooting the franchise without Cousins was the only long-term solution. Ranadive, the embattled owner, was all that stood in the way.
Ranadive stepped aside on Sunday, clearing the way for the Kings to send Cousins and Omri Casspi to the Pelicans for Buddy Hield, Tyreke Evans, Langston Galloway and 2017 first- and second-round picks. In dealing a top-10 talent like Cousins for a solid scoring rookie and a pair of picks, the message was unmistakable: Cousins is good, but we’re better off without him.

Good move to the Pelicans but they're in the 10th spot right now so if anything they may scrape in the playoffs. A pity a team like Oklahoma couldn't pull this off.

so Chris Paul to Houston? teaming up with James Harden

Dey say CP3 and Doc Rivers didn't get along because Rivers favors his son Austin and his son walks around with a sense of entitlement. Not just CP3 but other players feel so too.

Thunder agree to stunning Paul George trade with Pacers, per reports
Henry Bushnell,
The Indiana Pacers have agreed to trade Paul George to the Oklahoma City Thunder in a stunning deal on the eve of free agency, according to multiple reports Friday night.
According to the reports, Victor Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis will be headed to Indianapolis in the other direction. Per The Vertical’s Shams Charania, the deal includes no draft picks.
George, who will hit free agency after the 2017-18 season, has made it clear that his preferred destination next summer is Los Angeles, and specifically the Lakers. The trade, therefore, represents a major risk for Oklahoma City, which appears to be going all in to keep pace with the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets in the Western Conference.
George will team up with Russell Westbrook, who himself is entering the last year of his contract. The Thunder are expected to offer Westbrook a massive extension worth in the range of $200 million over five years once free agency begins. He and the Thunder organization, led by general manager Sam Presti, will likely spend the next year trying to convince George to join him in Oklahoma City for the long haul.
The move also could be viewed as a message in the other direction. Presti must convince Westbrook to re-up with the Thunder for the foreseeable future. A trade for a fellow superstar in George is about as big a commitment to contending as there is.
Indiana had been backed into a corner when George informed management earlier in the month that he would not be re-signing with the franchise after the final year of his contract. The news sucked all leverage away from the Pacers, and depressed the trade market for George.
But it also sent a message to all 28 teams outside of Indiana and the Lakers: The only chance to woo George was by trading for him, and proving to him over the course of a season that the situation here is better than the one in Los Angeles. Several teams had been rumored as possible landing spots for the 27-year-old. Boston and Cleveland seemed like the two most plausible. Houston was mentioned after the Chris Paul trade. The Lakers themselves also considered a deal to all but ensure they remained in George’s future plans.
The Thunder, however, had rarely, if at all, been mentioned as a possible definition. That’s what made the deal so shocking.
Also shocking was that Indiana would pull the trigger with a relatively meager package coming to them in return for the four-time All-Star. Oladipo, 25, is a nice young piece, and the Pacers are clearly priming themselves for a rebuild. Sabonis has shown promising signs as well. But neither is a surefire future star by any stretch of the imagination. The Pacers could have remained patient, and perhaps could have squeezed at least one extremely valuable future first-round pick out of Boston a week into free agency.
Or maybe the market for George just wasn’t there, and Indiana struggled to leverage one offer against another to up its asking price. It is by no means a disaster of a deal. But it was remarkably abrupt, and, with under three hours to go until the official beginning of free agency, left heads around the basketball world spinning.

Austin I think was in the D league at one point till his dad resurrected his career. Let's see if CP3 and Harden can co-exist, you know Harden loves to handle the ball.

Will be very interesting to see if George and Westbrook can build similar type or better chemistry than what Durant/Westbrook once had at OKC

Let the trade go thru. If he wants out, let him go. This is the way business of sports work. When the owner is ready to cut or trade, that is it. Talk done.

The entire deal worked out for both teams, I don't think either team has a significant advantage.
