[SNY Knicks] Agent says Derrick Rose wants to remain with Knicks (Saturday, February 25, 2017 4:04:29 PM)
B.J. Armstrong, who represents Derrick Rose, would prefer it if his client remained with the Knicks, he told Sirius XM on Saturday.
(Saturday, February 25, 2017 7:28:46 PM)
Jahlil Okafor, the Knicks suspected, had something to prove. The third overall pick in 2015, had been out of the rotation in Philadelphia, but now seems entrenched after the trade of Nerlens Noel. Yup, probably had something to prove. But Knicks centers Willy Hernangomez and Kyle O’Quinn felt the same way. They needed to show…

If you’re a Knicks fan, you probably are hoping the noise will quiet for a while, and all the outside distractions that seem to haunt this team will start to fade. The All-Star break has come and gone. So has the trade deadline. There should be no more talk about Carmelo Anthony and his no-trade…

Carmelo Anthony wasn’t going to let the Knicks choke again to the Sixers. The Knicks were on their déjà vu way, blowing another sizeable fourth-quarter lead — 12 points with 4:46 left. Philadelphia center Jahlil Okafor capped a rally with an inside bucket with nine seconds left, putting the Sixers up one point, and the…

Derrick Rose said he “wasn’t trolling.” Rose never took a flight to Chicago, but whether he was grounded by the Knicks is up in the air — pun intended. Rose attended Saturday’s morning shootaround before the Knicks faced the 76ers at the Garden. On Friday, Rose twice told reporters he had to hurry up the…

B.J. Armstrong, the former Chicago Bull and Derrick Rose’s agent, still feels this Knicks group has a good future together despite their record, and he hopes his client is part of it. Two days after Rose was spared at the trading deadline, Armstrong told The Post the Knicks aren’t as far away as some believe….

Carmelo Anthony may not see Phil Jackson’s vision, but Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek seems to get it. He said it’s about being patient.
(Sunday, February 26, 2017 1:30:00 AM)
It looks as if the one thing everyone can agree on is that Derrick Rose did not, in fact, board a plane to Chicago after practice Friday afternoon. He didn’t miss shootaround yesterday morning, and he didn’t go back to the place where he made such a mark that the Bulls’ Anthony Morrow will have to change his jersey number after fans chided him for taking Rose’s No. 1.

The triangle offense has become more of an emphasis again for the Knicks, but with the game on the line Saturday night, it was Carmelo Anthony’s clutch one-on-one play that carried them down the stretch.
(Saturday, February 25, 2017 9:01:13 PM)
Derrick Rose’s agent, B.J. Armstrong, said the Knicks were looking out for their best interests when they tried to deal his client before the trade deadline. Armstrong reiterated that Rose would like to re-sign with the Knicks. “His name was out there,” Armstrong said in an interview Saturday with SiriusXM NBA Radio. “In the end, I think the Knicks did what they thought was in their best interests. Like I’ve said all along, like he said all along, he wants to be in New York. He feels comfortable there. But we understand the business.”
