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

[AlainLocke]

fukk that...I ain't trying to wait 10 years for the trade to matter.

Not like the Twolves are gonna win shyt with Andrew Wiggins getting paid 100 plus million...should go ahead and rebuild

 

[LEEeveryday]

Jimmy and Embiid is bound to be some fukkery tho..

This can go really good or really... really bad...

I can't wait to see how it plays out with these personalities.

 

[Flight]

That bully shyt isn’t gonna work with JoJo or Simmons...but they needed a shot creator to go against the Celtics.

 

[Elim Garak]

wait' but why cant "minny" be a girl tho?

Sure if it was the lynx.

 

[BushidoBrown]

HOW TF DID THEY KEEP FULTZ???????

JOSH RICHARDSON IS 100X BETTER THAN COVINGTON WTF LMAO!

THIBS DUMB AF

im glad we kept jrich

 

[Flight]

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

He’s not a bytch like KAT...Embiid not going for that

 

[blalienz]

I honestly can’t say who the best team in the East is. It’s gonna be a bloodbath for that #1 seed.

Damn... someone outta the Celts, Raps, Sixers and Bucks is gonna be a 4-seed brehs.

The fukking Pacers gotta be looking at this trade like...

Only cuz Turner aint took the fukkin leap yet
And when the Heat get fully healthy thats another team they gotta deal wit

 

[chowism]

Didn't Houston offer Minnesota 4 first round picks? I would've taken that deal.

 

[Kang Deezy]

This is going to be interesting. I want to see how their personalities match up. I'm surprised Philly didn't have to part with Fultz or any first round picks.

Philly probably wanted to include fultz but thibs wasn’t interested

 

[GunRanger]

Thibs Knows he's gone, why would he care about FUTURE potential when he wont be around to reap the benefits?

Which is why the owner should have stepped in

 

[Shamrock32]

I'm surprised the Wolves didn't get a first round pick but the way the situation was handled both by Jimmy and the team watered down his value heavy.

Covington, Saric and a 2nd is a solid return considering the circumstances but Philly won the trade for sure. They got a two-way star without giving up a 1st round pick or Fultz, that's a win. Philly is set up nicely, the East will be much more interesting now.

 

[CHICAGO]

6ers are going to be easy to guard But they won the trade just by getting rid of that low IQ bum Covington

Thibs is a woat GM and a bad coach.

THIBS DIDNT MAKE THIS TRADE
AND THE OWNER PREVENTED
THIBS FROM TRADING WIGGINS
INSTEAD OF LAVINE FOR JIMMY.

YOURE OUT OF THE LOOP.

I feel like D. Rose may get more touches now. W/ Saric and Covington being able to shoot the three @ a decent clip, its gonna open up the floor for him to be able to drive more. If Jimmy is starting w/ Fultz and Simmons, somethings gonna have to give. Theyre gonna have to start Reddikk again.

 

[Wacky D]

You don’t know that and completely excluded Markannen

im sure lavine's rookie contract is almost up. if he broke thru this year like hes doing in Chicago, they wouldn't have the money to re-sign him. plus, I remember his reaction when the wolves drafted him.

I didn't exclude markannen. he was part of my general statement. I just didn't have any further comment for him specifically.

 

[Deep_Black_Conscious]

Great great move by Philly. Butler with Simmons and Embiid who is beasting makes them a sure top 3 or 4 team. So now it's Raptors, Bucks, Celtics, and Sixers.
