Recently, NBA Superstar Derrick Rose discussed a potential 1-year deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Rose was also reported to have meetings with other NBA teams, such as the Los Angeles Clippers and Milwaukee Bucks. The Los Angeles Lakers will also have a meeting with Rose. However, it is expected that Rose may not have that much playing time in the Lakers, as Lonzo Ball will cover his point guard position. It is believed that Rose would be a perfect fit for the Cavaliers, as the team is currently looking to form a powerful lineup to match with the defending champion, the Golden State Warriors.
Derrick Rose might be the last piece for the Cavaliers' Superteam
The former 2011 MVP will bring a huge impact for the team. Derrick Rose is known to play in strictly on point guard position, as his height is too short for a shooting guard. Due to this, it is expected that Rose will sit while Kyrie Irving is on the floor. Kyrie Irving will also have more resting time than before, as Rose is known to be a pure scorer. The Cleveland Cavaliers offered Rose a $2.1 million contract. At this point in time, there are no confirmations yet, whether Rose will join the team.
However, it is known that Derrick Rose suffered a lot of injuries throughout his career, which slows him down a lot. Rose is now known as a spot-up shooter, though he averaged 10.1 points per game from the inside last season.
Rose might improve even more with the Cavaliers, as he keeps on pushing to bring back his strength in the past seasons. Cavaliers Superstar LeBron James was known to look for teammates that can create plays. Due to this, Rose might play as a pass-first point guard, as James is known to be the main scorer on the team. There are a lot of critiques that Rose will not affect the Golden State Warriors.
However, Rose is known to be an excellent defender against Stephen Curry.
The Cavaliers might consider getting Derrick Rose than Carmelo Anthony
It is known that the Cavaliers has been chasing New York Knicks Superstar Carmelo Anthony. However, the Knicks announced that they want a trade for Anthony than a buyout option, which the Cavaliers didn't like.
Due to this, the Cleveland Cavaliers might just proceed on getting Derrick Rose as they need more playmakers.
However, there is still a chance that the Cavaliers will get both Superstars, which could make them a Superteam. Considering that the Golden State Warriors re-signed Kevin Durant, the Cavaliers will look for a counter that will help stop Durant and the Warriors.
