In a recent piece published on The Athletic, Shams Charania reported that Rose has emerged as a trade target for the NY Knicks and Los Angeles Clippers in recent weeks. Charania points out that neither the Pistons nor Rose showed urgency to part ways but that this won’t stop the player’s suitors from trying.

The Knicks interest in Rose isn’t surprising, considering they are coached by Tom Thibodeau, who previously worked with the 32-year-old veteran in Chicago and Minnesota. Reportedly, Thibodeau would like to get Rose on his team once again and is pushing strongly for the trade.

The Clippers, on the other hand, are always on the market for a point guard. Picking Derrick Rose ahead of other candidates would make sense since he’s on an expiring contract and might not cost them too much. Also, he would immediately make them an even more dangerous team and strengthen their status as a challenger for the top of the Western Conference.

Rose has had a solid start of the 2020-21 season, averaging 14.8 points and 4.6 assists per game.

Lakers already tried to get Rose around the February deadline, but they couldn’t work out a deal with the Pistons. Various scenarios were mentioned at the time, including one that would see Lakers deal Alex Caruso and a draft pick to Detroit, but the deal never moved past exploratory talks.

This time around, however, the two sides are “much more likely” to make a deal. One NBA general manager told Deveney that circumstances changed, and it’s in both teams’ interest to try and get on the same page.

Pistons are in the full rebuild and would like to give their young guys a chance and see where they stand. Having Derrick Rose on board surely helps from a veteran leadership standpoint, but he could bring back some assets that the team could use during rebuilding. Rose himself would probably be interested in the move, as he is at the point of his career when he would like to play on a contending team rather than miss out on playoffs for the next two or three years.

Lakers, on the other hand, know that they face a big challenge if they want to repeat. Their bench was already thin during this championship run and could be even thinner with Rajon Rondo and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope opting out of their deal. By getting Rose, they could fill in the void while having a legitimate starting option in case of injuries.

After several years of injury struggles and inconsistency, Rose has bounced back to rediscover his touch. He played  50 games with the Pistons in 2019/20, averaging 18.1 points and 5.6 assists.
