Why Milwaukee Bucks Make This Trade
When contending for an NBA title, it doesn’t hurt for a team to add more firepower to their offense. Especially when considering injuries can happen throughout a playoff run and it’s important to have contingencies in place to get by when it occurs.
Derrick Rose has found his niche late in his NBA career as a sixth-man. He could fill that role at a high level for the Milwaukee Bucks to alleviate pressure from Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jrue Holiday, and Khris Middleton throughout their games.
Again, executing a trade for Rose will come with risk for any team that acquires him. He’s consistently struggled to stay healthy, which appears unlikely to change.
In a best-case scenario, Rose can apply rim pressure on the defense with his ability to get into the paint, attacking off the dribble. Having another threat to do so would help.

The Bucks can afford to be cautious with Rose as they manage his minutes and usage. Throughout an 82-game season, that could be helpful to keep him ready for the playoffs. Of course, that’s no guarantee to work, but it’d be worth the risk.
