You knew it was just a matter of time before reports surfaced that teams were interested in trading for Detroit Pistons PG Derrick Rose and that time is now.
According to a report from Shams Charania of The Athletic, both the Los Angeles Clippers and the New York Knicks are among the teams interested in trading for Rose.
So far this season, Rose is averaging just 14.8 points and 4.6 points a game as he is off to a very slow start for his standards.
That being said, there is something to be said about a team adding a veteran point guard to the mix and that is exactly what many expect to happen with Rose.
Personally, I don’t see Rose going to the Clippers but the Knicks are a sneaky fit as they are currently in playoff contention and head coach Tom Thibodeau has a connection to Rose from their days together with the Chicago Bulls and Minnesota Timberwolves.

8 Most Beloved Figures in Detroit Sports History
Throughout the history of Detroit sports, there have been plenty of figures who have become loved by the fans.
Here is a list of the top 8 most beloved figures in Detroit sports history.
Nicklas Lidstrom
Nicklas Lidstrom played 20 seasons in the National Hockey League, all of them with the Detroit Red Wings. He was a great defender and helped lead the Red Wings to four Stanley Cups.
Lidstrom was the captain of the Red Wings for his final six seasons in the league and was known as a great leader. During his career, Lidstrom was named to the NHL All-Star team 12 times and won the Norris Trophy (Best NHL Defender) seven times.
There is no question Lidstrom will always be considered one of the most beloved figures in Detroit sports history.
It’s not a surprise Lidstrom has the nickname, “Mr. Perfect.”
Alan Trammell and Lou Whitaker (Tie)
Growing up I was a huge fan of Alan Trammell and Lou Whitaker. In fact, it was almost impossible to mention one without mentioning the other, so I am not about to start doing it now.
“Sweet Lou” and “Tram,” as fans of Detroit like to call them, came up to the Detroit Tigers together in 1977. From that point on they became leaders of the team and in their spare time, they turned double plays. Lot’s of double plays, more than 1,300 of them!
Trammell and Whitaker are one of the greatest double-play combinations in the history of Major League Baseball and will always be loved in Detroit.
