Derrick Rose trade rumors have been swirling lately and the Pistons are reportedly asking for a first round pick in return for the former-MVP.

Fantasy Impact:

Rose has been on a tear lately, scoring 20 points or more in 10 straight games and leading the Pistons in scoring. Reggie Jackson just returned from a 42-game absence so the Pistons may be willing to deal the backup point guard. The Pistons are currently 17-28 with no real shot of making a run in the playoffs, so shipping off a valuable and aging asset for a pick would make a lot of sense. If Rose ends up on a team where he can consistently get 30 minutes, he could sneak into the top-10 tier for point guards.
