With the NBA trade deadline approaching on March 15, Jackson has said he would like to play with Derrick Rose. 

Jackson joined Milwaukee as a starter and he averaged 10.5 points and 3.2 rebounds this season until Feb. 19 when he starting sitting-in because of a sore right hamstring.

"Who wouldn't want to play with Derrick Rose?" Jackson told Comcast Sportsnet Chicago. "Right up the street? It would be a great fit for me. I don't think anybody in the league would say they wouldn't want to do that."

"At the end of the day, I just want to play," the 33-year-old veteran said. "I've been a competitor my whole career, I've won everywhere I've went, so at this point, I just want to get back on the court and do what I do best, wherever that is. I'm just here, working out every day, just waiting for my opportunity."
