LeBron fired up about Rose joining the Cavs


It's been a dramatic past few days for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Dealing with reports that Kyrie Irving wants a trade, the Cavaliers worked to finalize a deal to add Derrick Rose on Monday.

LeBron James was a fan of the move.

Immediately after the news was announced, James took to Twitter and broke out the rose emojis in a fired-up tweet.

Yeah, LeBron approves.

Rose, a former MVP, hasn't been the same player since the 2011-12 season as injuries plagued his career. But at $2.1 million, he could provide the Cavaliers with solid value if Irving were to actually get traded.

Rose averaged 18 points and 4.4 assists in 64 games last season with the Knicks.
