The New York Knicks are desperately hoping that star point guard Damian Lillard decides to force Portland into a trade. The Knicks have been lost without a legitimate point guard for years, which proved to be a costly weakness during the postseason, despite the valiant effort of Derrick Rose.
Rose still has some gas left in the tank, but he’s no longer in his mid-20s and capable of electrifying the stadium in the blink of an eye with posterizing dunks and consistent minutes. Rose battled through injury and fatigue toward the end of the season but still pushed forward, putting his best foot in front of him.
