Lakers and 76ers among teams interested in Derrick Rose, according to sources

Share

Former Bull and current Detroit Pistons point guard Derrick Rose has been having quite the career renaissance this season Detroit. In 37 games played, Rose has been averaging 18.3 points and 5.9 assists per game. Last offseason there was some speculation that Rose may return to the Bulls after his time ended with the Timberwolves, but the organization picked up Tomas Satoranksy as starting point guard instead.

Now it appears that Rose is being courted by serious league contenders, such as the Lakers and the 76ers, according to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports. 

The Pistons are currently three games back from the Brooklyn Nets for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. On a team riddled with injuries, Rose has been a consistent factor in the Pistons lineup this season. According to sources, Rose has recently requested an extended role with more minutes.

We’ll all see what happens when the trade deadline arrives on Feb. 6. Until then, it has yet to be seen whether the Pistons will trade Rose or keep him in their lineup.
