The Sixers aren't the "most" anything in the NBA. They haven't won anything since Reagan's first term. They've had some moments since then, mainly the Iverson years, but they haven't sat at the NBA's big boy table in a long time. They might be getting back with the elites soon, very possible, but outside of this board apparently, no one else really cares about them. Sorry to be so blunt, you just need to slow your roll. Jimmy Butler ain't getting you past the Celtics, he don't have the stomach. Keep trying though. đź‘Ť who has a better record right now the sixers or Celtics If a better record on Nov 10 is what turns you on, then yes, the Sixers do have a better record than the Celtics. You got me there.

I really wished the Celts well going into the season; however my worst fears became true.\ They're a mess. The addition of 2 stars just unbalanced the chemistry they had last year. I know what the answer is - however Bostonians don't like hearing it. You did quite well with TR running the point last year - Kyrie is bolting to New York after this year - so you swap him at the deadline for a big/assets.

Wonder what the other shoe to drop is at the deadline....
Possibly dangling that 2021 Miami First Rounder and assets (Fultz?) for Bradley Beal since the Wiz are in disarray.....
Possibly Kevin Love as the new '4'?
This team is going to be stacked folks.

Apparently Embiid contacted KAT and Wiggins prior to the trade to see if Butler was a fit.
Great story - even though KAT and Embiid have had some beef in the past.
They told him 'all he wants to do is win' - good stuff - nothing like taking the high road. Embiid and Simmons are a little more alpha than KAT/Wiggins - so maybe this will work

It seems that ESPN agrees with most of us, that Butler isn't the answer for the Sixers to get to the finals. It really sucks because I have been trying for years to identify with the Timberwolves, them being the local team and all. I was excited when they drafted Towns and Wiggins but then along came Butler. He made impossible for me to like the team because of my disdain for him. Now he is in Philadelphia, the team that I have identified with since the 80's. What do I do now? www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/25201321/why-jimmy-butler-not-solve-philadelphia-76ers-biggest-problem-nba

I see a #5 spot in the West for you. as for here - Butler would have to be a bumbling idiot to f*ck this up. I love it. contract year. he leads the Sixers to the Finals in search of a max deal.

I don't know. You could say that Wiggins and Towns are comparable to Embiid and Simmons. Minnesota thought Butler was the missing piece to get them to the finals and look how that turned out.

there's another shoe to drop too
I'm torn on this because I want it to 'work' with Fultz
I'm sensing Fultz. the 2021 Miami pick and fillers to make the money work for another 'star' at the deadline. fultz has proven he's not a combo guard or a '2' for that matter and strictly a PG. he's not eve a PG that has the potential to light it up like Curry. Harden, Westbrook. which is fine. he can penetrate and create with the ball in his hands - nobody knows what happened to that guy at Washington. I think aliens abducted him.
they're 'going for it'. rumors swirling korver is on his way (hopefully for a 2nd rounder and cash) - I get he's shot now - but you can spot him 8-10 minutes.

Comparable in a sense they're all young. And I get the correlation. I've made the same in the respect to 'age' numerous times. But.... Not to be harsh and a d*ck. KAT and Wiggins are p*ssies. I like KAT - he's from Jersey and an Eagles fan. Embiid and Simmons are 2 different animals. I think Jo-Jo puts this f*cker through a wall if he acts up. It's his team. Butler rolls into Minny thinking his sh*t doesn't stink its one thing He f*cks with Jo-Jo?

This is obviously a great trade for the Sixers right now. Butler gives them exactly what they need and turns them into contenders in the East with a real shot at the Finals. I am very anxious to see if it all works out.

now i'm not so sure about Ben and Markelle - I think Markelle may be as good as gone by the deadline
rumor has it - he and shooting coach Drew Hanlen who he worked out with all offseason are no longer on speaking terms.....
