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

Who gonna play the 4 for the sixers?

Positionless small ball

 

[ISO]

it was worth it.

that trade got the wolves to the playoffs for the 1st time since I cant remember.

those guys weren't gonna get them there, and if any of them turn into a franchise changing player, they would've likely been on another team by that point anyway.

besides, Covington & saric are two of the more underrated players in the league. wolves should've got a 1st rounder out of this deal tho.

LaVine and Markannen will be ballers. Minnesota lost that trade it wasn’t worth a first round exit.

Only a matter of time before Korver gets bought out and joins philly or God damn golden state

 

[levitate]

How long before he fukks Embiid's chick?

 

[LV Koopa]

Sixers' perimeter shooting definitely took a hit.

Probably won't matter. They'll have one of the best defenses in the league along with the most trips to the free throw line.

 

[AlainLocke]

I'm just happy to have someone that can run the pick n roll with Joel and not be afraid to shoot.

This...

shyt is pathetic

This is tough. Ben contract coming. If he don’t gel well with Jimmy

 

[Cadillac]

Trade Lavine, Markkanen & Dunn for Covington & Saric, brehs

Full confirmation (tho it's been this way since the season started) that we won the trade bruh

 

[Left.A1]

You are delusional if you think this is a win for Minny

Feel bad for Thibs but

What the fukk have the bulls been winning with Lavine,Dunn & Markannen

Jimmy fits well with Philly's core but giving up Dario and Covington was not good IMO

I would have kept RoCo and let Dario + Fultz or someone else besides JJ, Simmons, and Joel TBH

Having a 3&D guy alongside Jimmy would have been a better balance. It can still work though

 

[filial_piety]

Now that we got rid of Saric...if we just get back Belineli and Illyosvich I'd be game.

 

[pimpineasy]

that spacing is about to be UGLY
they got up out of roberts deal but they got rid of 2 40 percent 3 pt shooters....
jimmy needs the rock, but ben needs the rock, and fultz needs the rock....but embiid needs his touches....
their offense might take some adjustment but that defense will be
starting lineup is what? fultz, reddikk, butler, ben, embiid?

Exactly this was a pretty good trade for wolves considering how they botched it earlier and lost leverage .
