The New York Knicks began the offseason with a lot of noise after acquiring Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah.
However, their momentum has seen an unexpected roadblock in the form of Rose’s legal trouble for gang rape allegations. As it stands, the former Most Valuable Player will have to wait until the end of his trial before he can rejoin the Knicks.
The team’s leader, Carmelo Anthony, had something to say on the matter.

It’s likely that Anthony’s comments echo the sentiment inside New York’s locker room, but with things of this gravity, it’s easier said than done.
