What if derrick rose was drafted by the heat
After all, one simple trade can decide the fate of a team whether it heads to the lottery or to the Finals. According to reports, they were close to teaming up with Derrick Rose in Chicago. With a team of four superstars of that magnitude, how would that have changed the landscape of the NBA?
Check out below to see how the Bulls were so close to landing these superstars and how it could have changed the course of history. Miami Heat should be looking for his services as the Pistons drafted a talented guard in Killian Hayes with their first pick in the NBA draft.
He became the first player in Pistons history to record seven back-to-back 20 plus point games coming off the bench. In his first season with the Pistons, he averaged His experienced leadership was also a boost to the Pistons lineup, and Rose was a player that added a lot of value to the team.
The Heat would be improving their bench in a big way if they sign Derrick Rose. Young guard, Kendrick Nunn may have long-term potential, but Miami is looking short-term. Although Derrick Rose is not a good defender, that is not really the area the Heat wants to bolster. Rose might be a point guard, but he's the type of player that is more willing to take shots rather than involve his teammates.
He and Wade are the same type of player with Rose being a pure point guard who has better court vision and awareness. After three seasons they might have learned to play together, but it could have been a problem that would arise.
They would also be in a situation where Wade would be the clear leader of the team and Rose would be the second option. It's tough to judge how Rose would play as a second option since he was thrown into a situation where he was the first option and has become accustomed to such for the past three seasons.
He might have just been Michael Beasley on the team, looking for an identity and contending with Wade for shot opportunities. Rose is a natural-born leader and he's not the type of player that's going to play the role of a sidekick. Over time, however, it seems Wade and Rose would have eventually learned to co-exist the same way Wade and James have learned to over one season.
If it was between having Rose on the team since and having a solid roster surrounding him and Wade going up against the current Heat team with Wade, Bosh and James, you have to go with the team that was actually created and already has success. It's tough to judge a team that wasn't created because you don't know all of the possible moves they could have made following the acquisition of Rose. The team possibly could have gone after Bosh, but then it would have the same "big three" minus a small forward and plus a point guard.
However, the Bulls, who had a meager 1. With the pick, the Bulls drafted Rose, passing up talented Kansas State forward Michael Beasley, who earlier that year, was expected to go No. Miami ended up with the No. But imagine if the Heat had wound up with the top pick and grabbed Rose. Rose more than likely wouldn't have won the MVP this year or even be considered a top candidate since he wouldn't be the team's No.
Probably not.
