Jimmy Butler traded to Philly for Robert Covington and Dario Saric. Jimmy plans to re-sign.

This. We get younger shooters who are signed for some years. This was a smart play. The Rockets first rounders would have been terrible fukking picks. Thibs wants to compete now and this gives us a chance to

minnesota probably isn't even gonna make the playoffs this year. lets be reality.

Including the $30.7M Jimmy Butler free agent hold, Philadelphia will have roughly $21M in cap space for 2019-20. The room includes renouncing all free agents except for Butler and TJ McConnell. The 76ers would be close to adding another max slot if they find a home for former first overall pick Markelle Fultz.

It's a foregone conclusion that Fultz is done in Philly.

Irving
Reddikkk
Butler
Simmons
Embiid

Minny should try to go after Whiteside so KAT can play the 4. Saric and KAT is a trash pairing.

Them 2 bigs together would be FOOD against the pick and roll. KAT wouldn't even try on defense.

why they care? the rockets window is very small, and it's not like they'd be interfering with what the wolves are trying to accomplish since the wolves aren't gonna go to the playoffs anyways.

Because Thibs thinks they're going to be a contender still. Didn't want to have to face Rockets in playoffs

Covington and Saric both combined to have close to a third of the team’s total made threes this season

What no one is talking about is how Philly will probably sign any star the Lakers try to attract next year

Toronto is damn-near deeper than Boston, their kids just don’t have the potential star power of some of Boston’s pups. And no one pays attention because... Canucks.

It’s way too soon to count them out. Especially when they’ve looked like the better TEAM since the start of the season, to borrow your point.

Fair enough and I wasn't necessarily counting out the Raps but just making the point that it isnt a foregone conclusion that the Raps are the team to beat in the East just because they have Kawhi (especially off the strength of 12 games)

@Loose please name 15 guards better than jimmy so I can have this documented lol

I'm taking russ Kemba curry harden Lillard kyrie simmons. Probably even take Mitchell and Oladipo over him. Jimmy top 20-30

Foo this ain’t the NFL

First round picks are useless unless their a top 10 pick

No they are not, WTF...

You'll have 8 first rounders in total...across 4 years
