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

[phillycavsfan]

The underrated aspect of the trade is Philadelphia 76er’s ability to dump the bloated contracts of Robert Covington & Jerryd Bayless. While keeping the Suns 1st round draft pick they got in the Bridges trade, only surrendering a 2022 second round pick.


The funniest thing about this trade is Justin Patton was the 1st round draft pick, they got from the Bulls trade. Trust in Thibs brehs

12-13 million a year for one of the better defensive wing players in the league (and an above-average 3 pt shooter) is a bargain.

Bro look at the spacing now.....All teams have to do is hug up on JJ and pack the damn paint

Ben Drives
Fultz Drives
Jimmy Drives
Joel lives in the paint

4 months to February so other moves can be made. I like this problem over their issues how they were previously constructed. They needed another guy who could create and has to be accounted for when it matters and they got it

That starting lineup is going to give up 115 pts per game easily.

aint like they were winning with jimmy anyways

White folks in Philly gonna be PISSED. They loved Dario.

It’s time for Fultz to hit the bench. Then you can stagger him at the point with Ben, and keep a cap on the number of non-shooting PG’s on the court, at all times. This move clearly pushes him out of Philly’s Big 3 anyway so...

If philly can hustle someone into giving up a future lotto pick for fultz......

That cap space

Philly fans tell me about Saric

 

[MikelArteta]

Why?

saric still on a rookie deal for this year and next

 

[THE MACHINE]

So the Lakers couldn't beat that offer? Or would he not re-sign there?

True.

 

[Left.A1]

My Lord

If everything gels with Jimmy, Joel, and Ben....

The crazy thing is with getting Cov and Saric off the books and even after paying Jimmy they may still have around 20million to play with in free agency next summer

 

[Youhadasparkwhenustarted]

Should've got Fultz out the deal, tf is Minny doing

 

[Trapperman Dave]

jimmy gonna give embiid KAT treatment by the end of the season

Nahhh maybe fultz tho

 

[Kliq_Souf]

6ers lost alot of 3 point firepower here.

Dario cant shoot for shyt, i take it u dont watch many of our games lol
And he's slow as hell on D

Covington is a monster on defense tho
