The New York Knicks made a major move to upgrade their ailing backcourt, acquiring former NBA MVP Derrick Rose from the Chicago Bulls, according to multiple reports Wednesday.New York is expected to acquire Rose, fellow guard Justin Holiday and a second-round pick of the 2017 draft from Chicago for center Robin Lopez and guards Jerian Grant and Jose Calderon, the Chicago Tribune reported.ESPN reported last week that the Knicks entertained internal discussions on acquiring Rose, although that story did not detail if the Bulls were willing to part ways with the top overall pick of the 2008 draft.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.The Knicks will also add depth to their backcourt by acquiring the 27-year-old Holiday, who averaged 4.5 points and 1.7 rebounds per contest last season.The reported move comes on the heels of New York president Phil Jackson insisting to reporters that his struggling team can make the playoffs in a weak Eastern Conference. Jackson added that a few adjustments were in order for the spacing in the triangle offense under new coach Jeff Hornacek, who takes over a team that finished 32-50 in 2015-16 for its third straight losing season.Calderon, who will be 35 in September, served as New York's starting point guard and averaged just 7.6 points and a career-worst 4.1 assists per game last season. Grant, 23, added 5.6 points and 2.3 assists per contest in 2015-16.The 28-year-old Lopez averaged 10.3 points and 7.3 rebounds last season for the Bulls.
