Teams Interested in Trading for Derrick Rose
Contenders like the Lakers and 76ers are among the teams that want to trade for former NBA MVP Derrick Rose.
Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reported the interest in the Pistons point guard:
“The Los Angeles Lakers, Philadelphia 76ers and multiple teams with championship aspirations have expressed interest in trading for Detroit Pistons guard Derrick Rose, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
The Clippers have checked in on Rose as well, but it was more of a common exploratory talk, sources said.
The Lakers and Sixers are in search of point guard assistance for the stretch run, sources said.”
Per Haynes, Rose is not seeking a trade. That hasn’t stopped teams from having an interest in him as the former NBA All-Star has a had a career resurgence over the last two seasons.
“Rose is happy with the Pistons and isn’t looking to be traded, sources said, but the decision is beyond his control. He has one more year at $7.6 million remaining on his contract.”
Rose is playing like an All-Star, averaging 18.3 points, 5.9 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 25.8 minutes over 37 games (three starts) for the Pistons this season. He is also shooting 50.3 percent from the field, 31.8 percent from beyond the arc and 88.1 percent from the free-throw line.
Derrick Rose currently has nine straight games with at least 20 points.
The Pistons are 16-28 this season and making the playoffs will be complicated so trading him and getting something in return makes sense. D-Rose can provide scoring as a starter or off the bench and run any offense effectively.
