I doubt this trade makes the Sixers any better, tbh.
Saric and Covington were great role players and glue guys. Butler is a horrible fit alongside Simmons and Fultz. If I were the Sixers I would have given away Fultz (if Minny wanted it).
The criticism that it’s a big hit to frontcourt depth is overstated. Amir Johnson and Muscala offer offense-defense options at both PF and C. Both Simmons and Chandler can play multiple positions, including either forward spot. And it may very well open up some playing opportunity for Jonah Bolden, who might end up being a decent back-up. They also got Justin Patton from Minnesota. They have options.

Sixers made the right move. They gotta deal Fultz next, PHX might be interested. Fultz is likely a bust, but he will never fit with Simmons anyway.
Bulls fan: if 2011 Bulls had current Butler. Heat are toast
RIP Boston hahahah
It's a cluster at this point. It won't matter now. We'll see who is healthy and playing well in April.
And they're all way better than the Lakers.
But we still got Bron...
And Bucks just lost to your mediocre squad after beating warriors
Phenomenal short term move by the sixers. Would not give Butler $190 million though with the huge amount of minutes hes played
Agreed
Yeah, but he's a movie star now, not a basketball player.
Why are people that impressed by Butler? Where has he ever won games? He's been good, don't get me wrong, but to call him a superstar is just confusing to me.
Hes not a “superstar” but he is a 2 way allstar that will be a game changer next to Embiid
Houston desperately needed to close the deal for him. LOL Rockets.
Was fun while it lasted, but Butler is back to being his usual, cancerous self.
Oh sweet lord, PLEASE let LAL sign him this offseason.
He should fit in well. Basically Kobe without a HoF frontline.
Jimmy Butler is a , but Brett Brown is not a good coach.
Cmon man lol
maybe he can punk Lonzo to make his FT
True. Amb forgot the HoF coaching staff too.
Thibs is the only coach that Butler has ever liked
He's also the only coach that gets production out of Derrick Rose..it's strange, he's such a flawed coach, but vets love him and don't seem to care about the heavy minutes..
They love to get all those minutes and the stats that come with it. Aldridge would love Thibs as well, tbh.
Thats like saying take Duncan off SA and put Chris Webber and they still win 5.
