The New York Knicks traded for All-Star point guard Derrick Rose on Wednesday, according to multiple reports.
ESPN's Marc J. Spears reports the Knicks will surrender center Robin Lopez, guard Jerian Grant and guard Jose Calderon to Chicago.
The three-time All-Star and 2011 NBA MVP averaged 16.4 points and 4.7 assists per game for the Bulls last season — both the second-lowest totals of his career. He played in just 66 games in 2015-16, though that was the most since his MVP season.
