As the trade deadline (February 6) approaches, teams are making plans to improve their rosters. Among the most talked-about names is Derrick Rose.

Lately, Rose has been linked with the Los Angeles Lakers. It remains to be seen if the move actually happens. Though Rose himself told the Pistons front office he wants to stay.

At the same time, he admitted that it’s not up to him – he could get traded regardless of his own preference.

“It’s up to the front office. Arn (Tellem) gave me his word that if something were to happen, he will text or call, but I told him that I want to stay here, but it’s not up to me. You already know how that goes.”
