I don't know what makes Durant tick. Logic says that he will go elsewhere if he wants to win a title, but playing in New York is a great incentive for many athletes.

D-Rose WAS a great player. His lateral speed was the best in the NBA. Then the leg injuries hit. Great players sometimes have to re-invent themselves. He hasn't done that. He's in denial; thinking he's still the same player he was in 2010 or 2011. His efficiency rating for point guards was one of the worst in the NBA.
In October, when I go to Reno, I will likely be betting the two Bulls deriviative bets: Minnesota Over, Knicks Under. I will have to see what the numbers are, but unless they are outlandish, those will be the bets.
