For the Nets, the current season will serve as a transition period. With both Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant unfit to play, Brooklyn will exit early but the good news is the club can start implementing some beefing up measures. In doing this, it's possible that another familiar name will be recruited and Derrick Rose seems a nice fit.
Already, KD and Irving in tip-top shape will make the Nets a title contender next season but it wouldn't hurt to further reinforce and Rose might just be called in. It is only hoped that the Pistons will see the wisdom of sending the former MVP to Brooklyn.
According to Fadeaway World, to make the proposed deal a starter Brooklyn can offer shooting guard Spencer Dinwiddie, who should be hard to ignore. Since Irving was sidelined due to shoulder injury, Dinwiddie stepped to the plate and is clocking no fewer than 20 points.
Hopefully, the Pistons would be convinced and they would add Svi Mykhailiuk to the mix in order to complete the trade, which the report said was concocted by Grant Hughes of Bleacher Report.
For the Nets, the key benefit is creating a bench depth with the arrival of Rose and Mykhailiuk as both would come in as role players to complement the main crew that is headlined by the Durant-Irving duo.
Hughes said Rose will be around too as a leader, which could prove a key factor for Brooklyn to advance deep into the league the next season. It's not hard to imagine that having big names will make it easier for the Nets to reach the Finals and perhaps wrap up the series as the owner of the Larry O'Brien.
Letting go of Dinwiddie seems too big of a sacrifice for Brooklyn in exchange for Rose but the report said that with the way the veteran has been playing, it would seem that he's ready to explode big. And the Nets would not want to miss that when it happens.
As for Detroit, the question is will the team ship out a Rose that shows encouraging signs regaining much of the steam he lost in the past years. His scoring ability is hard to question as he makes over 18 points per outing and even more when not hobbled by injuries.
Yet that is exactly the problem with Rose, according to Bleacher Report. His career has been marred by a series of injuries that it's easy to forget he once the league MVP while with the Chicago Bull and a mainstay in the All-Star games.
Just recently, an ankle injury again hit the veteran and Detroit said Rose will be out for at least two weeks. For the Pistons, the burden of having to worry an unhealthy Rose will disappear if he is traded and Brooklyn may be all willing to inherit such a problem.
