Didn't the Rockets offer FOUR first round picks???
And the Wolves settled for this?
much better deal than just 4 first round picks
Plus those picks are likely to be at bottom of the 1st.
Who's to say the Rockets will be good for that long?
Oh idk James Harden maybe. Plus maybe you missed the part about the picks being PROTECTED, would you take 4 first round picks for Jimmy Butler if it was GUARANTEED none of them would ever be top 10?
Even with a 10th pick is hard finding a player as good as Dario OR Cov.
Where does it say that the picks would be protected?
The same place where the rumors about the 4 first round picks started.....
in minny is meaningless. He wanted out and knew he was gonna be traded. Why would he wear himself out? He will not be a problem in philly, IMO.
Until he realizes he is option 3.
He's actually option #2... but don't let that stand in the way of blurting nonsense.
Simmons is a good all around player but we all know.. he's not a big time scorer (0 jump shot)
Butler will average more points and more shots a game than Ben.
Lol. a new clown to BBI or returning dupe. Nonsense?
Ben Simmons is A-#1 on the 76ers and always will be as long as he is on the team. He has the ball in his hands every single possession and makes all the decisions. And when he doesn’t... embiid does. Hence, Butler will be 3rd option.
I see some very scared Knicks fans on this thread trying to pretend this doesn't make the Sixers better.
As aSixers fan, I'm excited to see this.
I was growing weary of Dario and RoCo was very hit or miss
Wtf? Talk about trying to create a narrative that doesn’t exist. Where are all the Knicks fans on this thread saying this doesn’t make the Sisxers better? I see one or two that don’t particularly like it for them, but this is hardly a “bash the Sixers” thread. dep is killing Butler (not the Sixers) and he’s not a Knicks fan...
“Scared Knicks fans”? GTFO of here with that weak ass shit

God damn Kevin Pelton with his knicks-homerism as well. Link - ( New Window )
who can score and is under a very team favorable contract. Minnesota had to deal Butler, so, under those circumstances, they did well. Also, if the Sixers do resign Butler, his new contract (which will be a max contract) will run until he is 35.
He’s an epic bitch. Complained last night he played 41 minutes despite him playing like dog shit. Won’t play back to backs.
He’s gonna be a problem. Absolutely just a bad teammate.
I agree with this. Butler is going to think the Sixers are his team, and expect Embiid and Simmons to defer to him. And that's going to be a huge mistake.

Count me in as another one. Giants, Mets, Rangers and Sixers. Why Sixers? Because years of mismanagement with the Knicks including Isaiah Thomas and all the wonderful GMs. I live in South Jersey, so I finally transferred to one local team after 40 years.
RE: Interesting how there are suddenly a bunch of Sixers fans here Â

No go ahead and make yourself lost.

This is a much much better deal
Really? Saric and Covington are better than FOUR first round picks?
Yes. Those 4 picks are the equivalent of John Wallace, Nate Robinson, Dante jones and David lee. And that’s being kind.
He’s gonna be a problem. Absolutely just a bad teammate.

Based on what? We have no idea where the Rockets are going to pick after this year.
Count me in as another one. Giants, Mets, Rangers and Sixers. Why Sixers? Because years of mismanagement with the Knicks including Isaiah Thomas and all the wonderful GMs. I live in South Jersey, so I finally transferred to one local team after 40 years.
LOL, yeah. Lots of sixers fans suddenly popping up and putting out their chests.
Don’t worry about “scared” Knicks fans. We are just fine. But we will look forward to Butler ruining another team and Embiid’s next injury.
I was a Dr. J fan and became a Sixers fan when he moved from the Nets to the Sixers. That stuck with me through good times and bad.
