Philadelphia 76ers Receive: Derrick Rose

Detroit Pistons Receive: Mike Scott, Zhaire Smith, No. 21 Pick

Derrick Rose’s salary for 2020-21 is $7.6 million. His contract is easily movable in a trade, and the Pistons would likely have many options to sift through if they opt to trade Rose.

In this hypothetical trade, the Pistons receive a duo headlined by Mike Scott, while also taking a flier on 2018 first-round pick, Zhaire Smith.

For the 76ers, it comes down to Rose’s impact on a team that needs to win next season, versus the production of Scott, and the still-untapped potential of Smith.

Let’s have a look at this trade from the perspective of both teams, and assess the fit for each.
