New York Knicks president Phil Jackson addressed Derrick Roses pending trial for a civil suit involving an alleged sexual assault on Friday, saying the club is hopeful that it does not impact Roses season.One thing Id like to address is about Derrick Rose and the process hes going through, Jackson said at the beginning of his season-opening press conference. We anticipate it will not affect his season hopefully, training camp or games.But were going to let the due process of the justice system works its way through here in the next week and a half or so. We want to put this to rest. There doesnt need to be a lot of talk about this.A woman sued Rose last year, claiming the former MVP and two of his friends raped her in August 2013. Rose and the others deny her claims and contend they had consensual sex with her that night.A trial is scheduled to begin Oct. 4 in Los Angeles, the same day the Knicks face the Houston Rockets to open their preseason. Rose, presumably, would miss preseason practices and games if the case goes to trial.I think were just going to let the process work itself out, Jackson said when asked about the possibility of Rose missing training camp. Were not concerned with it. We understand this is a serious subject were talking about. But this has to be done outside of our control. Its something we cant control. Derrick has expressed that hes not concerned with it. I mean, hes quite aware of it. Its not keeping him up at night. So were going with that, OK?Jackson declined to answer a question addressed to both him and general manager Steve Mills about how much the Knicks looked into the case before trading for Rose or about any concern over the public perception of the organization in light of the case.Rose played his first seven seasons with the Chicago Bulls, winning Rookie of the Year and, in 2011, MVP honors. He is in his first season with the Knicks after being traded in the final year of a five-year deal with Chicago that will pay him $21.3 million.Fake Vapormax For Sale .

Well keep plugging away because we think it makes a lot more sense for there to be a straight top eight, it makes it a lot easier for the fans who can disregard the conferences.Tew says his Australian and South African counterparts believed it was aan aberration that four Kiwi teams qualified for the playoffs this year and that such a scenario is unlikely to repeat.ddddddddddddouve got to have agreement at SANZAAR. Thats the beauty of a joint venture, Tew said.There was, however, a consensus that the competition needs to further expand its boundaries.Having added teams from Argentina and Japan this year, there is a strong suggestion North America will be in SANZAARs sights when the current contract expires in 2020.Tew says offshore offers to top New Zealand players is out-stripping previous sums.South Africa is suffering particularly from a player drain while Australia and New Zealand are also coming under relentless pressure to fend off the lure of big-money European offers.We know if we sit still, well get taken over by whats going on in Europe and in particular in France, Tew said.Weve got to keep growing our commercial base and inevitably thats going to have to be outside the existing markets.Its not for expansions sake. Its because it continues to grow value for the now four members (including Argentina) of SANZAAR. ' ' '
