Why it happened

The bet each side made

The Knicks wanted another creator beside Carmelo Anthony and Kristaps Porziņģis; Chicago chose a cleaner transition away from the Rose era.

Why history remembers it

The move closed one of Chicago's most emotional modern chapters and began Rose's long reinvention as a veteran scorer.

What changed

The consequences

  • Rose averaged 18 points in his first Knicks season.
  • Chicago moved fully beyond the core built around its 2011 MVP.
