I think a good trade possibility to upgrade the offense is Derrick Rose. He's a vet on an expiring deal on a rebuilding franchise, so he shouldn't cost much. You don't have to really change what Luka or KP does to fit him into the team, he slots in easily as an upgrade over Burke in the same role without disrupting continuity. He's providing a pretty steady 20 PER player at 20-25 MPG since he embraced being a 6th man. Carlisle has done well with former stars who are now in the 2nd or 3rd Act of their careers. While he can still get a basket off the dribble, he's changed his game and not the same ball dominant player he was when he was a star in Chicago. Since he's been in Detroit his AST% has been around ~40%. He now feasts on 2nd units, and I actually think Luka, Rose and Richardson would a pretty nice complementary 3 guard lineup if you wanted to play small in the final 4 minutes. If you're going to have Richardson and DFS in your Final 5 lineup, you're going to need offense.
