CLEVELAND — After the Cavaliers’ NBA championship banner gets raised to the rafters Tuesday night, the Knicks will unveil a team with 10 new players, a new coach and a former MVP who is out to show he’s still an elite player who can carry a team to the playoffs.
Derrick Rose hasn’t been the same since he tore his left ACL in the 2012 postseason. He’s missed 228 of a possible 394 games. But he comes into his first season as a Knick feeling healthy and believing he can be the player he was five years ago.
