Why The Los Angeles Lakers Do The Deal

After all, we know James should have the ball. In NBA history, few players have been better with it, if any. Luckily, Derrick Rose can space the floor.

In fact, he’s become one of the most reliable three-point shooting point guards in the NBA. That was not always the case. In fact, inaccurate shooting was the fatal flaw that doomed his last partnership with James.

Rose had to add the three to his arsenal in order to survive. With injuries sapping his athleticism, he hasn’t been able to get to the rim at will for a while. He still finds his way there occasionally with exceptional crafty ball-handling.
