Houston Rockets Receive: G Derrick Rose, G Immanuel Quickley
New York Knicks Receive: G/F Eric Gordon, 2023 First-Round Pick (MIL via HOU)
We haven’t seen Rose’s name in the rumors. Still, something tells us the Knicks would make him available as well.
After all, his place in this team’s rotation has been reduced this season. In fact, Rose has even publicly acknowledged as much. There’s no reason the Knicks would make the veteran point guard off-limits.
Meanwhile, the rebuilding Houston Rockets could use a point guard. That’s probably true in the short and long term. Kevin Porter Jr. is talented, but his dalliance at the position feels more like an experiment than a fixture.
one could be a stabilizing veteran for this young core to learn from. Meanwhile, Quickley has looked the part of a point guard at times in his career to date as well. He could be an ideal target for this team to add to their core.

The Houston Rockets may hesitate to part with a first-round pick. They shouldn’t. This pick comes from the Milwaukee Bucks – whoever they spend it on late in the first round of the draft would be lucky to pan out as Quickley has.
