It may come as a surprise to hear the the Philadelphia 76ers are in need of talent. While No. 1 overall pick Ben Simmons has the skill set to initiate some of the offense, it wouldn’t be wise to put the complete load on him.

The Sixers have cycled a lot of point guards through their starting lineup over the last few years, the stability that Rubio would be able to provide, along with the easy looks he would be able to provide their centers, would be a huge asset for them.

The stockpile of assets the Sixers possesses gives the Timberwolves many options when it comes to making a trade possible.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to determine that the Sixers need more talent and need a point guard to help their young talent develop; Rubio would help make all of that possible.
