Adding up a Rose will surely enhance the roster and can compete with other contenders especially against the Western Conference teams like Golden State, Houston, San Antonio and Oklahoma City. It's not worth it, however, and the temptation should be avoided.
Cleveland is limited in what it can offer the free agent guard, whose career has been slowed by knee injuries.

Rose won Rookie of the Year in 2009 and MVP in 2011 with the Bulls. The Cavaliers would be risking little in a one-year contract scenario, and playing for a title with LeBron might bring out the best in Rose.
Derrick Rose may soon be an ex-Knick.
Derrick Rose is reportedly deciding between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers, but his former team the Chicago Bulls may also be involved. With that, he also shot 47.1 percent from the field, which is pretty good for a guard.
The Lakers recently signed Kentavious Caldwell-Pope to a one-year contract in free agency and selected former UCLA star Lonzo Ball with the No. 2 pick in the 2017 draft. Rose has not aged well and is a decent backup point guard at best at this point in his career. Earlier this month, Cleveland signed another former Knicks point guard, Jose Calderon, who was sent to Chicago past year in the Rose trade.
The 6-foot-8, 205-pound center/forward played in the Israeli Basketball Premier League last season, averaging 14.9 points and 7.1 rebounds. Williams played for the Memphis Grizzlies last season, and he was a free-agent this summer.
