Derrick Rose to hit free agency; 5 potential landing spots

1. Boston Celtics

The Celtics backcourt is already in the early stages of major turnover following the deal to send off starter Marcus Smart in a return that netted them Kristaps Porzingis. According to reports that had Malcolm Brodgon involved in the opening trade that fell through, the deal to move away from Smart and their openness to move on from Brodgon means that president of basketball operations Brad Stevens was ready to shake up the team’s current structure. With Boston preparing for a roster that will likely include max deals for both Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, the addition of Rose would be an early glimpse of the type of moves that they’ll have to make moving forward.
