D-Rose to Boston?

[mr. dee]

With Marcus Smart gone, the Boston Celtics could potentially look at guards on the open market who could give them good production in his place. Steve Popper of Newsday floated Derrick Rose as an option for the Celtics.

After Rose’s team option was declined by the New York Knicks on June 24, Popper mentioned the Celtics could be among the teams interested in Rose as a free agent this summer.

“There are contending teams — the Lakers, Suns, and Celtics or even a return to his hometown Bulls — who could have minutes available at point guard for Rose. He is healthy and has adjusted his game, becoming more of a three-point threat in recent years.”

For a veteran minimum, why not? He's a veteran presence and became a very good shooter who can fit into our system.

Derrick Rose has played 53 games (974 minutes total) in the past two seasons. He is coming off averaging 5.6PPG last season on woeful efficiencies - 38/30/92 box splits, TS% of 46% and EFG% of 44%.

I’m afraid he is completely cooked. He’ll be 35 by next season. I would rather Kemba if we want a locker-room guy who can’t actually play anymore

Kemba or dare I say, IT? That would surely soften the blow of trading Smart. He seems to be open to a mentoring role at this point in his career.

I'm probably not too interested in actually bringing in a guy we have no intention of playing. Just that D-Rose would be at the bottom of that list. I think there are plenty of veteran PGs who would be more handy

 We need a backup wing more than anything after getting Kristaps.   I think PP is our backup guard option.

Unless the Celtics do move Brogdon, I think that a scoring PG is less of a need.   


I think this team needs a guy who makes plays for the rest of the team.   A pass first guy.   


If (and when) they lose Grant, they need another swing/big defender.
