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

[LEEeveryday]

76ers need Korver.... bad..

 

[ReggieFlare]

Hmm, not sure if I like this move

Should have been Roco OR Dario + someone else not name Simmons, Embiid, and maybe Redikk.

I need a Philly breh to chime on on their feelings about the two that were traded, but they seemed like good pieces to me last season (haven't really watched them much this year).

 

[DonKnock]

i dont see how twolves lost

you get rid of a malcontent on your team who was leaving anyways
you get saric who is only 24 and avg 15 and 7 last year and can shoot the three
you get covington who was all nba defensive team last year and will give you like 13 and 6 tough d and will shoot 3s

also gives them depth because their bench was kind of poor

can throw out
towns/saric/covington/wiggins/rose

have a bench of dieng/gibson/ tolliver/ okogie/teague

Towns and Saric are going to be food defensively. Wiggins and Rose aren't doing anything to stop the ball at point of attack either.

 

[Lord Beasley]

Lmao we couldn't be any happier over here. Yall enjoy that dumb ass nikka Bumington catching and shooting 30 footers as soon as he touches the ball for a big ass miss. He in his little stretch of good games rn tho, I just hope yall know what yall getting

who is yall? idgaf about the Timberwolves, im a mavs fan

them minne nikkas got no leaders now cept taj

 

[Broad Street Bully]

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

No, he doesn't. We been screaming, pleading at this nikka to cut the African Dirk shyt out and get to the paint more often. Don't sleep on Landry Shamet either :hehyep:

 

[phillycavsfan]

his value is so low that they wouldn't get shyt for him. their only shooter right now is reddikk

now they either gotta slide amir or wilson chandler to replace saric at the 4

Shamet was their first round pick who can shoot a little too.

 

[str8up]

Saric has looked trash all year, defense is still as bad as ever.

I wouldn't want Covington on my squad either.

 

[Darealtwo1]

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...

But what about the media day pictures!!!!!

Nah you don’t trade Reddikk. That’s their best shooter

Covington and Dario is fair considering how Covington disappeared in the playoffs and I’ve been hearing 76ers fans complaining about Dario this season so I mean

 

[Bubba T]

I hope Rose gets out of that situation and gets with a contender. Wouldn’t mind him playing for the GOAT franchise. kat and wiggins are perfect twolves players tho.

Let's keep it real breh, before last season (or really, this season), D-Rose was dead in the water. Him signing to Minny and showing he can still play was a great situation for him. Next season he can go to another team and show how serviceable he is.

 

[cornercommission2k12]

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

Got a feeling that was more about trading Jimmy back to the east, than what the Lakers could offer

 

[CantStop]

Shamet was their first round pick who can shoot a little too.

I was going to include him but he's a rookie and hasn't proven much yet. I guess I should say, only proven shooter right now is Reddikk.

 

[Left.A1]

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

You gotta be drunk

 

[LV Koopa]

Real talk... Y'all nikkas need to stop. This nikka is acting like a child. He'd be better off going the Kawhi route. Sit out and be hurt. All this extra shyt is stupid as fukk.

He can't sit out all year if he isn't hurt, stupid. Stop talking on shyt you don't know.

That’s exactly what I mean. Minny provides the space for rehabilitation of his game under a coach he knew. Now he can move on and sign up to a situation that best suits him and contribute to a championship run somewhere.
