Sources: Rose, Pistons to meet, eye 2-year deal

NBA

Free-agent guard Derrick Rose is expected to meet with the Detroit Pistons on Sunday, with both sides motivated to find a path to a two-year contract, league sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski on Saturday.

NBA free agents can begin negotiating agreements with teams at 6 p.m. ET Sunday. Contracts can be officially signed July 6.

After several injury-plagued seasons, the veteran point guard appeared in 51 games (13 starts) and was third on the Minnesota Timberwolves in points per game (18.0) and second in player-efficiency rating (19.52), behind only All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns. 

Rose, who turns 31 in October, is entering his 11th NBA season (he sat out 2012-13 with a torn ACL). The three-time All-Star holds career averages of 18.8 points and 5.6 assists.
