The latest NBA trade rumors hinted that the Cleveland Cavaliers might enter a deal with the New York Knicks for their point guard, Derrick Rose.

Sports Rageous reported that the Cleveland Cavaliers are in the process of rebuilding their roster in order to make their lineup strong to provide tough competition to other teams in the NBA league.

On the other hand, few reports suggested that even the New York Knicks are looking forward to trading Rose before this season's trade deadline. The NBA trade rumors hinted that the currently the Knicks is planning to reshuffle their roster as they already have a strong frontcourt lineup consisting of players like small forward Carmelo Anthony and power forward Kristaps Porzingis.
