Sixers vs. Lakers in a less than an hour.
Really curious about the trade chatter with not only AD going to the Lakers but...
If the Sixers really are considering jetsoning Butler (supposed to be back tonight) who in my eyes has turned out to be 'Meh'.
A very good player. They traded 2 'good' starters (Saric and Cov) for a 'Very Good Player' and apparently (what a shocker) he's not a personality fit and upper management isn't happy. You protect Embiid and Simmons first.
Guy hit two game winning jumpers - and again is a very good player - but isn't the 3rd Superstar I expected and has done '0' to affiliate himself with the city to get the team and fans behind him in order to get that max contract.
Gimme a scenario where he's involved in a trade deadline swap for say Jrue Holiday (may have to get a 3rd team involved as if they trade AD they're in rebuild mode) and you swap around trash and #2 picks to make the deal work - I'd consider it. i.e. Butler goes to a contender - future assets from that team and Sixers go to the Pels with filler - and Jrue goes to Philly
