The New York Knicks acquired Derrick Rose in a trade on Wednesday that sent three players to the Chicago Bulls. Those three players are Robin Lopez, Jose Calderon and Jerian Grant.

After the deal was done, the Knicks tweeted out a video of Derrick Rose highlights to welcome him to New York. Who were the players Rose torched in the video?

Why, former Knicks Robin Lopez, Jose Calderon and Jerian Grant!

So brilliant, yet so mean.

UPDATE: Welp, the Knicks deleted it. We're sorry we now can't show you the humorous video, which is too bad because the immediate response to the Knicks' tweet seemed to be good-natured.

After deleting the video, the Knicks posted a more humble welcome to D-Rose.
