Derrick Rose

CBS Sports reported that Derrick Rose is already looking forward to testing his luck as a free agent next summer. The question is, is he just putting that out there so New York will pay him?

For Dallas, it makes sense to target Rose if he does decide to talk to other teams. Deron Williams is the starting point guard this year on a 1 year deal. Behind him is J.J. Barea and Devin Harris; two guys who won’t be starting.

Derrick Rose actually was rumored to be involved in a trade to send him to Dallas right before he was dealt to the Knicks. This was because Chicago was in rebuilding mode and they chose to shop Derrick Rose instead of Jimmy Butler.

In the end, he didn’t end up in Dallas. But, this summer could change that. Dallas will push heavy for a point guard in free agency, and Rose may very well be the best option they have.
