Jalen Rose recommended the Philadelphia 76ers swap Joel Embiid for Russell Westbrook. That defies logic.
In Houston, Daryl Morey built the most aggressively small rotation in basketball. Now, many expect him to carry over a similar philosophy to his new job with the Philadelphia 76ers. Naturally, eager and restless NBA pundits have been quick to toss out Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons trade hypotheticals.
The most egregious of fake trade proposals, however, belongs to ESPN’s Jalen Rose. On a recent episode of Jalen & Jacoby, Rose had much to say about Morey’s arrival in South Philly.
