I always find it hilarious that people give the Sixers so much crap now for that Tatum trade. Hindsight is always 20/20. At the time, Fultz was pretty much the unanimous first pick and everyone said the Sixers made the smart move. Fultz, on paper at least, was exactly what the Sixers needed. I just feel he lacks maturity and is allergic to defense right now. I want him to work out. I really do, but he seems to be a player that needs the ball in his hands and looks like crap off the ball. I say trade him, our Miami first round pick, and maybe one other player for someone like Butler. Sure, I know Butler comes with his own set of issues, but he is exactly what Simmons and Embiid need right now. I do not want Love. He is hurt every other week and is far past his prime at this point.

although it's intriguing -

Butler can't get along with KAT and Wiggins and wants to be 'the man'

I don't see him getting along with Embiid and Simmons whos personalities are far more polarizing than KAT/Wiggins -plus think of the assets you'd have to give up for a potential 'rental' who bolts (unless they got a deal worked in where he signs longterm)

to me some players are the perfect 3rd piece - this was always Iggy to me - funny how years ago there were always Iggy for Love rumors - what did Iggy prove to be in time - a perfect 'piece'. Butler wants to be the man. We don't need that - we need that special complimentary piece to go along with Embiid/Simmons who isn't going to stir the pot and is fine with being 3rd banana and not the star.
