Point guard Derrick Rose is a member of the New York Knicks once again after the team acquired him in a trade with the Detroit Pistons on Monday.

In order to get Rose, the Knicks parted with guard Dennis Smith Jr. and the Charlotte Hornets’ second-round pick in 2021.

While Rose was linked with a number of teams in recent weeks, the Knicks were the most aggressive in pursuing him. The team’s head coach Tom Thibodeau was the one pushing for the move as he wanted to reunite with the player he previously coached on two occasions.

Rose became the youngest player to win the NBA MVP Award while playing in a Chicago Bulls jersey under Thibodeau, and the pair also worked together on the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Derrick Rose previously played with the Knicks during the 2016-17 season, but the injuries and struggles in the triangle offense made it a forgettable campaign for the three-time All-Star. Now, however, he is returning with fewer expectations and in a system that he feels comfortable with.

Rose has been enjoying a small career renaissance in recent years, managing to remain healthy and be a solid contributor. He has played 15 games with the Pistons in 2020-21 so far and is averaging 14.2 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game.

Derrick Rose has been among the rare bright spots for struggling Detroit Pistons this season, and it looks like his performance hasn’t gone unnoticed around the league. According to the latest report from Yahoo Sports’ Chris Haynes, several teams with championship aspirations are interested in trading for Rose.

The two teams that have emerged as favorites for the former NBA MVP are Los Angeles Lakers and Philadelphia 76ers. Both Lakers and 76ers are in need of a quality point guard to complement their starters and have identified Rose as both an affordable and realistic target. Los Angeles Clippers have also shown interest, but haven’t moved past exploratory talks.

Pistons seemed like they might have a tough time being a competitive team this year, especially since Blake Griffin is probably out for the season. This might push them to be sellers before the trade deadline and get some assets for Rose while his value is still high. There is, however, always the option of Detroit staying put and seeing whether they can clinch a playoff spot in weakened East.

Derrick Rose has been on a path of reviving his career in NBA after the struggles he had for the past few years. After bouncing back last season with Minnesota Timberwolves, Rose has been stellar for Pistons this season, especially after the team was hit with a number of injuries. 

Rose is currently averaging 18.4 points and 5.8 assists per game, both career-highs since 2011.

The 2011 NBA Most Valuable Player, Derrick Rose, has cleared his waivers after being released by Utah Jazz and became a free agent. Rose was released by Jazz on Saturday after he was sent there by Cleveland Cavaliers, alongside Jae Crowder, in a trade that helped the Cavs land Rodney Hood and George Hill.

According to the reports, some teams are interested in Rose’s services but he is still to receive an offer for the rest of the season. Washington Wizards have been previously interested in bringing Derrick Rose due to the injury of John Wall, but since then the team started looking at other options including Ty Lawson, Briante Weber, and Ramon Sessions.
Derrick Rose signed one-year, minimum deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers in the offseason, wanting to get back to his old form. His time with the Cavs, however, didn’t turn all that great, since the 29-year-old struggled with injuries and inconsistency. In 15 games he played for the team, he averaged 19.3 minutes, 9.8 points, 1.6 assists and 1.8 rebounds per game.

Chicago Bulls drafted Rose with the first overall pick in the 2008 draft and he went on to win the Rookie of the Year Award and lead the team to the playoff appearance. After earning his first All-Star appearance in the 2009-10 season, led the Bulls to Eastern Conference Finals in the next, while also winning the MVP award. Unfortunately, a series of knee injuries that followed derailed his career and he never managed to get back to his old MVP form.
