Former NBA MVP Derrick Rose has agreed to terms with the Detroit Pistons, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Free agent guard Derrick Rose has agreed to a two-year, $15M deal to join the Detroit Pistons, league sources tell ESPN.

Since being named MVP of the league in 2011, Rose has been afflicted with multiple injuries that have hindered his career. However, the 30-year-old averaged 18 points, 4.3 assists and 2.7 rebounds this past season with the Timberwolves.
Rose is coming off a $2.4 million minimum contract with Minnesota, and presumably will serve as a backup point guard for the Pistons, who are over the salary cap and don’t have much flexibility money-wise in free agency.
For someone coming off a resurgent year looking to be of assistance to a team that went 41-41 and snuck into the Eastern Conference playoffs last year, this move would be mutually beneficial for both Rose and Detroit.
