The Chicago Bulls have traded Derrick Rose to the New York Knicks for role players and a future second round pick. Here are NBA trade grades for each side.
It’s official: The most promising post-Michael Jordan era for the Chicago Bulls has finally come to an end.
As first reported by The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Shams Charania, the Bulls have traded former MVP Derrick Rose to the New York Knicks for Robin Lopez, Jerian Grant, Jose Calderon and a 2017 second round pick.
K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune first reported the full details of the trade.

To fully break down the ramifications of such an emotional deal, here’s a look at NBA trade grades for each team.
