NBA Trade Rumors: Knicks Derrick Rose on his way to Cleveland Cavaliers or Oklahoma City Thunder

The New York Knicks is one of the teams in the NBA that have a big acquisition during the offseason. After acquiring former MVP Derrick Rose thru trade and center Joakim Noah thru free agency both from Chicago Bulls, many Knicks fans believe that they have a formidable line-up right now.

Rose was also quoted saying that they build a 'super team' in the Big Apple with Rose, Carmelo Anthony, Kristaps Porzingis and Joakim Noah on the fold. He even compared it with the Golden State Warriors powerful lineup of Durant, Curry, Thompson and Green.

However, it doesn't seem to look that way after their humiliating loss to the defending champions Cleveland Cavaliers 117-88 in their season opener. And after his teammate Carmelo Anthony was dragged to the trade rumors recently, it seems like he will also be traded away as per latest news.

According to Gospel Herald, there been talks that Rose will be dealt by the Knicks to the one who defeated them recently, the Cavs. Reports are saying that the Cavs are looking to obtain a point guard who would help Kyrie Irving and the team support their frontcourt.

Though the Cavs have backup guards in Jordan McRae and rookie Kay Felder they can't depend on both players. McRae was just recently coming off a surgery of his knee while Felder doesn't have the experience yet to the big league like the NBA.

With the addition of Rose, the Cavs will satisfy their wish to have a superstar point guard that will be able to compete and face the lineup of the Warriors. And with Irving nursing another injury, this could be the perfect timing to acquire Rose and build a competitive team.

In separate report by The Bitbag, the Oklahoma City Thunder is a possible destination too for Rose. On this trade deal, the Knicks will send Rose to the Thunder in exchange for Victor Oladipo and Kyle Singler. If ever the Thunder pull off this trade, they will form a superb duo of Rose and Russell Westbrook that many Thunder fans would like to see?

Will the New York Knicks release Derrick Rose to the Cleveland Cavaliers? Or to the Oklahoma City Thunder? Stay tuned for the latest NBA trade rumors and updates.
