On the eve of the 2016 NBA Draft, New York acquired Rose,
guard Justin Holiday and a second-round pick in 2017 from
Chicago for center Robin Lopez and guards Jerian Grant and Jose
Calderon.
The oft-injured Rose tore his ACL in his left knee during the
2012 playoffs before tearing the meniscus in his right knee
early in the 2013-14 campaign. The 27-year-old averaged 16.4
points and 4.7 assists for the Bulls last season.

Hundreds of thousands of fans packed downtown Cleveland to
celebrate alongside LeBron James and the NBA champion Cavaliers
with a parade honoring the team after the city's first major
professional sports title in 52 years.
The parade began outside Quicken Loans Arena before ending at
the downtown Mall as fans spilled into streets along the
1.3-mile route.
The Cavs became the first team to rally from a 3-1 NBA Finals
deficit, beating the defending champion Warriors 93-89 in Game 7
on Sunday night and ending the championship drought in
Cleveland. (Editing by Frank Pingue)
