Report: Pistons, Knicks nearing deal on Derrick Rose for Dennis Smith Jr, draft pick

Will the third time be a charm?

Ten years removed from becoming the league’s youngest MVP, Derrick Rose is nearing full circle with the man who made him such.

Rose is set for a third reunion with Tom Thibodeau as the New York Knicks are close to re-acquiring him, according to multiple reports.

Dennis Smith Jr., instead of Frank Ntilikina, whose name was first floated Sunday night, will be the key piece in the reported swap.

The Detroit Pistons are seeking additional draft compensation. But it will likely be a future second-round pick, according to Marc Berman of The New York Post.
