          After acquiring former MVP Derrick Rose in a trade with the Chicago Bulls last week, the Knicks are now set to sign Rose's former Chicago teammate Joakim Noah to a contract that ESPN's Ramona Shelburne reports will pay him $72 million over four years.

          Like Rose, Noah has fallen from his All-Star heights in part because of injuries.

          Can he return to form in his native New York City? And does such a large investment make sense for the Knicks?
