rose hope for the knicks to bring something special

derrick rose isn't just leaving his team. he's leaving home.

he was born and raised in chicago, so it hurt when the bulls traded him to new york. he will miss his friends and family, especially his young son he will be away from more now.

"i feel like something special is going to happen," rose said. "i really don't know what, i just feel like something special."

the bulls traded the former mvp and no. 1 overall pick to the knicks on wednesday, with center robin lopez and coin guards jose calderon and jerian grant going to chicago. rose was introduced at a press conference at madison square garden on friday, still adjusting to his new life.

"it still don't feel real," rose said. "driving in and just seeing my name on the billboard, or seeing my picture on the billboard or on the screen outside of the building, kind of blew me away a little bit. it probably really won't hit me until i step on the floor and actually have a jersey on."

the new jersey will have a new number, as he's switching from the no. 1 he wore in his eight years with the bulls to no. 25. that was his number at simeon high school, which the best player traditionally wore in honor of star player benji wilson, who was murdered in 1984 before what would have been his senior season.

then next year, rose will have to think of his own future. he said the warm welcome he's received makes him think he'd like to spend the rest of his career in new york, but he knows this is a business. so for now, his only focus is on making the postseason after the bulls missed out in a disapcoining season.

"i guess we'll have to see how this one year goes, but i'm putting my all into this," rose said. "i've been working my butt off as far as my work ethic and we will have to see."
