If the New York Knicks had their way, Derrick Rose would be playing for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Alas, Timberwolves coach-president Tom Thibodeau “balked” at giving up Ricky Rubio in exchange for his former point guard, per ESPN.com’s Marc Stein: [tweet https://twitter.com/ESPNSteinLine/status/834861961439358976?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw] Here’s more from ESPN.com’s Ian Begley: For much of Thursday afternoon, the Knicks and [...]

Here’s some free advice for people expecting the New York Knicks to trade Carmelo Anthony: Don’t.
