Trade season might be heating up in Detroit.
On Tuesday, The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported that Pistons point guard Derrick Rose is receiving interest from both the Clippers and Knicks. Nothing appears to be imminent, but teams are sniffing around about the availability of the former MVP, who is in the final year of his contract.
To figure out what a trade package might look like, The Athletic writers covering the Pistons (James L. Edwards III), Knicks (Mike Vorkunov) and Clippers (Law Murray) discussed possible deals. Each writer acted as the decision-maker for the respective teams they cover. In real life, the teams are led by Troy Weaver (Detroit general manager), Leon Rose (New York president of basketball operations) and Lawrence Frank (Los Angeles president of basketball operations).
The (fictional) Pistons are ready to take the (fictional) pitches!
Pistons (Edwards): You want Derrick Rose, huh? Hit me with your best…
