KNICKS TRADE TWO FOR MALIK ROSE
The New York Knicks acquired forward Malik Rose and a future first-round draft pick from the San Antonio Spurs in exchange for center Nazr Mohammed and guard Jamison Brewer.
What does it give the New York Knicks
Yet another undersized, expensive power forward who can't score much.
Rose joins Jerome Williams and Kurt Thomas to form one of the
grittiest--and smallest--frontcourts in the NBA. Rose has potential, but
where will he play? With Thomas, Williams, Mike Sweetney and now
Maurice Taylor, the Knicks are now loaded with power forwards, most of
whom have serious holes in their games.
What does it give the San Antonio Spurs
The center they've been looking for all season. Mohammed has struggled
of late, but he's a hard-working beast in the paint who will give San
Antonio one of the league's biggest front lines. Whether he can steal
the starting center spot from Rasho Nesterovic remains to be seen, but
he certainly gives the team the depth in the post they've been looking
for all season. Brewer seems to be a throw-in.
