Derrick Rose Being Out For The Year With A Torn Meniscus Is The Official Death Of The Knicks Super Team

Just an absolutely terrible break for Knicks fans that Woj dropped this bomb just as the team was rounding into shape before the playoffs. Meanwhile the other Super Team is rumored to be getting Kevin Durant back by the end of the regular season. The boys in the orange and blue truly cannot catch a break.

Takes deep breath

Okay it’s time to end this charade that the Knicks were ever a Super Team even though it was all tongue in cheek. Time to bury them and all that nonsense now.

Okay now that that’s over, I guess it is time to look back at the Derrick Rose Knicks Era. We had the sexual assault trial. The “I do penitentiary workouts to stay in shape” quote during said trial. The time he posed for pictures smiling with jury members in said trial. The time he disappeared off the face of the Earth without telling anyone where he went. The time he said with a straight face he wanted a max contract. And of course the time he seriously called a flawed team a Super Team. Was it fun to say the Knicks were a Super Team while not believing but wanting to believe it but ultimately not believing it? Of course. It’s always fun to find ways to laugh at the Knicks’ inadequacies to stop us from crying. I will always remember when the rumors of Derrick Rose being traded to the Knicks started to trickle in and I had to sit back and appreciate them. Derrick Rose to the Knicks is the closest thing we have seen to an Isiah Thomas trade in years. Granted Rose had a lot more gas left in the tank than guys like Steve Francis and Penny Hardaway, but the move definitely reminded me of those wonderful times as a Knicks fan. Bulls fans warned us of the injuries and the stupid quotes, but after re-reading this paragraph, I think Rose really turned up his Crazy/Weird Derrick Rose Meter to High during his time in New York. And his time here can’t end soon enough. Good thing we didn’t trade for Ricky Rubio, who averaged almost 18 and 10 in March after the Knicks decided not to trade for him.

*Please forget about this blog (if you haven’t already) if the Knicks somehow re-sign Rose to a 5-year contract, which is always a possibility because it is the fucking Knicks we are talking about. And if that happens, just know that I will be thinking of you all as I put an icepick through my eye, hoping to puncture my brain and just end all the pain for good.
