Philadelphia 76ers: The case against Derrick Rose

The Philadelphia 76ers are a flawed team, and with the 2020 NBA trade deadline fast approaching, many fans have been searching for players that can turn the Sixers from championship pretenders to actual contenders.

Many have fixated on Detroit Pistons point guard Derrick Rose, who is one of the NBA’s best sixth men. Currently, Rose is averaging close to 17 points and six assists in over 24 minutes per game for a struggling Pistons squad. Even though it’s likely that Rose is traded by the Feb. 6 deadline, the Sixers should not pursue the former MVP.
