| DETROIT DEALS DERRICK ROSE TO NY Sunday, February 7, 2021 |
|---|
| The New York Knicks acquired guard Derrick Rose from the Detroit Pistons for guard Dennis Smith Jr. and a second-round draft pick in 2021. |
|
What does it give the New York Knicks?
Veteran Rose joins New York for the second time in his career (he played with the Knicks in 2016-17) and is reunited with head coach Tom Thibodeau for the third time. Rose will probably spend most of his time coming off the bench as a scoring option.
|
|
What does it give the Detroit Pistons?
Smith Jr. has some untapped upside but he was buried on the depth chart with the Knicks. In Detroit, he has a chance to play a lot (and even become a starting guard) for the rebuilding Pistons. The second-round pick in this trade is an added bonus.
|
|
Fantasy Impact
This trade should really help Smith Jr. the most, though Rose could revive his bench scoring as a member of the Knicks. Both players could be picked up in deeper leagues.
