76ers STEAL Jimmy Butler from T'Wolves!!!

[WeFireThoseCannons]

Not a steal, Jimmy is not a #1 and is going on 30yrs old.



I think the deal is even, because Jimmy may get pissed with the 76ers too. Which is why a 1st was not involved. Jimmy had a problem with Towns and Wiggins maturity. I honestly don't see Embiid as mature since he trolls other players. Simmons is a quiet guy that may come off too loose which is how I saw Wiggins coming in. Then Fultz has his issues.



T'Wolves get guys under contract that are contributors.

Dude 30 ain't old...he's just hitting his prime. He has a good 3 or 4 more yrs of peak athleticism before he starts declining. Plus, he'll boost sixers defense a bit too. I can definitely see Butler and Fultz butting heads at some point though.

Covington was 1st team all defense last year so it's not like he was a defensive scrub

Yes Covington is a good defender also, but a different type of defender. Covington may even be the better defender by a bit overall, but the type of defense Butler brings will still up the anti. That on ball lockdown defense is where he excels and he's better than Covington in that regard. So I think sixers D gets a bit better with this trade.

To be honest it was a good trade for both Minnesota got back 2 starters and got rid of a guy that was giving them headaches so it should help both teams

Yes he has but for good reason though!

I'm old school and he has that MJ and Kobe mentally.

In Chi, they played and were coached soft.
In Min, he was trying to make them play D and play hard.
Wiggins is the new Kwame Brown, all the talent but no work ethic or heart.

I'll take Butler any day!

We can overthink these things.

Philly traded 2 role players for a top 20 guy.
