Derrick Rose and the Cleveland Cavaliers are meeting on Monday to discuss a one-year contract.

Rose's deal would be for one-year at the veteran's minimum of $2.1 million.

Rose met with the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday, but appears to be leaning towards joining the Cavaliers. Rose would prefer to sign with a contender to rebuild his trade value.

The Cavaliers' discussions with Rose come amid Kyrie Irving's trade request.

Although the phrase 'rebuild his trade value' seems very odd since it's only a 1 year deal.

Surely he's just trying to rebuild his value full stop?

Well if Flip Saunders taught us anything about trading a big chip, it's that patience is a virtue. My guess, though, is that GM LeBron will want him out.

A more accomplished player, but just as shit as player selection as the other faux GM's that went before him (KG, Dwight, Shaq)

Will be interesting to see what they can get for Kyrie now.

Could actually come out of this as strong, possibly stronger, Bron will want 1 more tilt at a championship before heading to the Lakers.
