It was recently reported by Shams Charania of The Athletic (subscription required) that the Lakers offered the Detroit Pistons draft compensation and Alex Caruso in exchange for Derrick Rose.
It was clear that Rose didn’t want to be dealt from Detroit, and the Lakers don’t have too much future draft capital that they could have sent to the Pistons to begin with.
While there are a multitude of reasons that one could argue that this would or would not have been a good deal for the Pistons, the fact remains that it did not happen.
