Magic scoring guard Terrence Ross may become a hot target in the trading market before the trading deadline on next February. Rose clearly expressed his wish to be traded by the team after the end of last season, he said the Magic management was “very clear” that he wanted to join a more competitive team. In April this year, Terence Rose said in an interview: “I am definitely in the opposite direction with the team. I belong to a member of the old magic era. Now this magic is moving in a different direction. I don’t know what the management plan is. They don’t want me to know the specific plan.”
The deal expected by Terrence Ross during the offseason did not happen, but Rose is likely to appear on the negotiation table in the next few months, because magic has now fallen to 14th in the east, completely quit the competition and started to rot. In more than 11 seasons of his career, Rose has proved that he can become a very efficient role player. In 2012, Raptors selected Terence Ross in the first round of the draft, and the latter’s NBA career began. In 2017, this player from Washington University was traded to magic by raptors. After five years, Rose has been playing Magic until now.
Terence Rose, 31, is an excellent scorer. He can score 11.2 points and score 1.8 points in 687 games in his career, but his influence in other aspects is very limited, there were only 2.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists in career games respectively. In recent seasons, Rose’s defense had problems. Last season’s defensive performance was far inferior to that of previous years, which basically offset all his contributions on the offensive side. This trend is very troublesome, and even there are still signs of continuation at the beginning of this season.
Terrence Ross’s defense had never been so bad a few years ago, so this problem may be related to the collapse of the Magic team. After being traded to other teams, rose’s defensive performance may return to the average level of his career. As a native of Portland, Oregon, Rose’s ability is comprehensive. Rose, 2.01 meters tall and 93 kilograms in weight, can be competent for multiple positions by virtue of his height and athletic talent. Years of professional experience have enabled him to play both the first and the substitute. Rose was interviewed by Chris Hays, a reporter from Orlando Sentinel in October. When talking about starting and playing substitute, he said, “I have played both. I will be very happy whether it is starting or replacing, I am already familiar with both identities.”
If Terence Rose was traded before the transaction deadline, which teams would his potential family have?
Los Angeles Lakers
For the Lakers, Terence rose is a low-risk target. After a 6-11 start this season, the Lakers are extremely eager to improve their offensive firepower. Rose can at least increase the score of the bench. If the defensive end returns to the normal level, he has a great chance to provide more value. Whether the Lakers hit three points per game (9.1) or hit three points (30.6%), they are the bottom level of the league. Although the Lakers still need to make a lot of adjustments to return to the championship, adding a reliable outside pitcher will be the top priority of the Lakers. Rose hit 39.2 percent in three points this season. After coming to the Lakers, he will become another key flank player after James and Reeves.
Atlanta Hawks
Kevin Schutter, who was sent away by the eagle, was enjoying an outbreak season in the King. The team gave up Schutter during the busy off-season, which led to the Eagle’s addition to Trey Yang and de Zhangtai-Murray this season, the three-point projection ability is insufficient. Eagle’s average three points hit (9.6) this season ranked 29th in the league and the third hit rate (32.7%) ranked 26th in the league, but the average score (114.8) still ranked 9th in the league. This means that if the eagle adds one or two outside shooters, the attacking end will have a chance to rank in the top five of the league. Considering Ross’s success in shooting from long range, he certainly can meet the needs of the Eagles, and he can also provide some veteran leadership for the team to help the Eagles get closer to the state of the championship team.
Toronto Raptors
The reunion with raptors is not only a cool plot, but also can inject a little offensive vitality into the slow and Hot Start of Raptors (9 wins and 9 losses). The current average score of raptors (111.7) ranks 17th in the league, the number of three hits (11) ranks 23rd in the league, and the third hit rate (33.1%) ranks 25th in the league. Van frit missed 6 of the team’s 18 games, and these problems were magnified when he was absent. Rose’s arrival can provide a very good boost for the replacement of the Raptors in the back court, which is also an opportunity for him to write a new chapter here after five years of ups and downs in the early career of raptors.
