Late scratch and the scribes are noting he wasn't even mentioned in the pregame pressed and think "something" is up. I'm guessing it's simply upset stomach or something family related.

if it was sick or family related they would of said not with team for personal reasons or sick like they did with kuz...

As you'd expect, sources say Rose was unhappy with fourth quarter benching on Friday in Milwaukee -- but unclear if that's impacted absence.

At least one team official who tried to reach Derrick Rose before the game on Monday was unable to do so, league sources told ESPN.

i hope he is ok, but if he straight up just skipped the game, that is unforgivable
According to Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical, the Knicks have no idea what's going on with Derrick Rose.
Rose was listed as the starter 90 minutes before tip-off, but failed to show up to the game. Knicks officials tried to get in contact with him all the way up until tip-off, but it's still unclear if they've been able to reach him. According to Woj, team officials, teammates and Rose's close associates don't know what's going on. Rose was reportedly unhappy about being benched in the fourth quarter on Friday vs. the Bucks, but it's not clear if that's the issue here. Hopefully we'll learn more after the game, but this might be the weirdest story of the NBA season so far.

Didn't know there was a game and then decided not to contact the Knicks/respond to their attempts to contact him? Assuming Woj is right "not knowing there was a game" isn't an option
just got home. Rose just didnt show up? I cant recall that ever happening. Given that guys get suspended for being late to meetings/practice, what do you do here? Forced leave?
Melo, Rose and Noah now? Rose is an expiring deal but to just not show up for a game is some serious shit. I mean ... how do you let him suit up for you again?
Even the MSG postgame guys are baffled. There are ways they could handle this to spare him the scrutiny here - they're choosing to keep it a total mystery.

If there was some kind of emergency, the team may not have known. It sounds like legitimately nobody knows.
not taking Luke Walton's spot on the Golden State bench? Hang around that Dream Team, get a ring or two, and see if a good head coaching opportunity materializes in the near future.
Man only the dysfunctional Knicks can knock off the Giants bad loss
Sports shows are set for the remaining week. NYC sports radio is ready to go. Add in Melo getting tossed again. I already hear boat party jokes with Rose.
RE: RE: WPIX is reporting that he is still missing and they are praying for
Yeah, I thought it was strange because they began their newscast reporting he was missing and gave an update at 10:50pm. I guess their sources aren't in touch with Noah though.
I don't even see a single trade scenario where Melo waives his NTC and a contending team wants him/has anything to give up. Rose has zero trade value. Noah has zero trade value. Phil is a disgrace.
and regardless of this dumpster fire, we actually have all of our picks for the first time in 700 years. (I don't really give a shit where Derrick Rose is. Anything that whittles down the possibility of him getting a long term contract to 0% is a-ok in my book.)
I don't even see a single trade scenario where Melo waives his NTC and a contending team wants him/has anything to give up. Rose has zero trade value. Noah has zero trade value. Phil is a disgrace.
Wouldn't say 0 trade value. If we could get Dejountae Murray or kyle Anderson from the Spurs I'd do it. Spurs don't make deals like that though.

Spurs would have to give up Pau or LMA for a Melo deal, who wouldn't have a position to play because the Spurs have Kawhi Leonard. LMA is a superior player to Melo, and Pau is their starting 5. No shot at a Melo to the Spurs deal, unless Melo somehow decided he was ok playing the 4 and LMA the 5.
you meant for Rose? Or Noah? Again, similar where to make salaries work they'd either have to gut their team or include a starter like Pau or LMA. I can't think of a less Spurs player then Derrick Rose either.
Didn't take long for upbeat guys like Hornacek, Noah, Lee and Jennings to become miserable. We should try to tank our way into the top 10 this season. It's not too late.

Yeah Rose doesn't really fit their model but on a pure talent level he's an upgrade over Parker at this point.
In any case it'd work better if Parker and ginobili both retire before next season as they'd have like $20M more in salary.
Question - why does the entire defense collapse to the middle of the court every time someone drives, I understand "help" defense, but not the entire team going into the paint and leaving 2-3 players wide open behind the 3 point line - please explain?

Rose to Cleveland makes a ton of sense. Throw him on the 2nd unit. Put him on the court with Love, Frye, and Korver. Shooters all over the place and he will have the lane to drive.
Those calling for a complete rebuild will get their wish. Phil kept all picks. Those wanting us to acquire Rose and el might turn into some assets. I didn't believe and still don't that Grant and Robin were going to be part of the solution. I won't even mention the throw in OLD PG. Break it down to build it up!

If he was sick, wouldn't they just say so?

i have a weird feeling he was traded
all of phils trades are stealth, you never hear about them early..
it is just weird that all of sudden its he is not with the team..
if he was sick or something personal happened it would of been announved 90 minutes before tip with hornacek
Why would Phoenix do that deal except as a salary dump?
Seemed to good to be true.
Last game he got ONE FG attempt in the final 7 minutes and they blew a double digit lead.
I don't think what we do even qualifies as "defense" - we're just present on the other end of the floor.

Truly bizarre but would mean it's not a trade
Just go.

This officiating tonight from the start has been ridiculous.
Knicks home. Being fist fucked.

Like Jesus resurrecting. But better.
i turned it off, what happened?
Re: Rose source tells me that he and Hornacek had a "major blowout" following the Pacers game.
Welcome back!!!
He's no Jake, thats for sure.
Re: Rose source tells me that he and Hornacek had a "major blowout" following the Pacers game.
but in my opinion that is not a reason to not show up and if that is the reason, then again unforgivable..

But if it is, who would want him?
Would have to sell very low.

Time to clean house
He's in a contract year. Could he be this dumb?
Who would want either?
I keep telling people. Dumpster fires burn out fast. This is gonna linger.
Who would want either?
Et tu, dep?
If he's lost dep, he's lost middle America.
Who would want either?
Rose is very tradeable due to last year of contract
Quote:
now you have 2 untradeable players.

Come on now, you just cant blow off games. I couldnt even root for Eli if he left the Giants for a game to go hang out with Bieber.
Funny. But some team would take him that's playoff bound

just saying... ;)
Man, this has been a crappy start of the year for me. Press the button Phil... the ship is taking in a lot of water now.
I hear ya.
Multiple sources have also told me that there have been trade discussions involving Rose in recent days. #knicks
I'd guess it's something with his children, given that he was at the team shootaround. Good to see BBI is reasonable with these things though.
If there was some kind of emergency, the team may not have known. It sounds like legitimately nobody knows.
racist
???
Wow ...

Oh is that right? Then why didn't he say so? It's easy.
My kids, coach. We're having some issues. I need some time.
Instead. It's like, no one knows what's going on.
And you question people being reasonable.
this sounds like an emergency that happened last minute
also sounds like the players were legitimately worried about where he was
Dennis Rodman did it with the Spurs and I think the Pistons.
There are strong indications that Derrick Rose returned to his hometown of Chicago.
Flying would explain the communications blackout
meanwhile isola ripping phil for not meeting the media
Well then their reporting is shit.

KOQ is at his peak trade value too. Would 100% shop him. You get rid of him and Rose or Jennings and you're looking at a top 10 selection.
