NBA Trade Window: 3 teams that should trade for Derrick Rose

Derrick Rose was drafted as the No.1 overall pick in the 2008 NBA draft by the Chicago Bulls. He won the rookie of the year and is also the youngest MVP in the history of NBA.

Rose was stellar in his initial years with the Chicago Bulls and was considered as one of the best players in the world. His speed and athleticism were unmatched and he was a highlight reel on a daily basis. But what would have been a spectacular career was marred by injuries. Rose suffered career threatening injuries with the Bulls and that disrupted his momentum at the peak of his career. He was traded to the Knicks in 2016 and has also played for the Cavaliers and the Timberwolves.

Rose is currently playing for the Detroit Pistons. He is having a very good year with the Pistons despite the team not playing up to expectations. Rose is averaging 16.2 PPG in just 23 minutes per game. He is also shooting a very efficient 49% from the field.

Here are the three teams that could utilize his talents and should trade for him.

#3 Chicago Bulls

Chicago Bulls v Washington Wizards

Derrick Rose used to be Chicago's favorite son. He was born and raised in Chicago and enjoyed his best years in the league with the Chicago Bulls.

The Bulls have been struggling for many years now. They currently have a 9-18 record and are the 11th ranked team in the Eastern Conference. Kris Dunn currently plays at the point guard position for the team but he hasn't displayed much during his time in the NBA and the Bulls are in desperate need for an upgrade.

A healthy Derrick Rose will be a great option to consider by the Bulls. He will become an instant fan favorite and will be a great veteran presence in the locker room.

#2 Milwaukee Bucks

Derrick Rose can be a great addition to the Bucks

The Milwaukee Bucks are the best team in the NBA at the moment. They have started the season on a seriously hot note and have a 23-3 record. But the Bucks lack depth at the guard position.

Eric Bledsoe is the best elite option that they have. Though they make most of their plays through the Greek freak, Giannis Antetokounmpo, the presence of Derrick Rose can provide them with the additional ball handling option and a great scoring threat.

This can also be great for Derrick Rose as this will provide him with an opportunity to seriously contend for the championship. The Bucks are a lock to be in the later stages of the playoffs. They can really utilize Rose's shot making abilities especially in crunch situations. With teams boxing out on Giannis, Rose can be a great addition to make plays for the Bucks.

#1 Phoenix Suns

Derrick Rose would be a great fit for the Suns

Phoenix Suns were looking for a point guard during the entire summer. They ended up getting Ricky Rubio. While, Rubio can be a good playmaker, he can never be as dangerous as Rose.

The Suns would be the best fit for Rose. They already have a superstar in Devin Booker and the 2018 number one pick in DeAndre Ayton. Adding Rose to the roster will put them in contention to reach the playoffs. Rose can also be at a place where he won't have much competition for minutes.

The Suns are currently the 8th ranked team in the Western Conference. They have a 11-13 record and are just 0.5 games ahead of the 9th ranked team.

Derrick Rose and Devin Booker can be a great back court tandem. The Suns should definitely look to explore this option.
