OT Jimmy Butler to Philadelphia

[CupWizier]

Everyone shoots well against the Blazers, least it seems that way heh.

Looking at the numbers that's not the case as Blazers are 2nd in fg% allowed and 6th in opponents points allowed.

 

[CupWizier]

They must have a good GM that isn't afraid to make changes.

and how many times have the Twolves finished ahead of the Blazers?

 

[stampedehero]

Saric was the player Philly had to include but his presence was beneficial to the team.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Hard to say as Minnie might not have wanted to deal him to a division rival either.

Every report I have read says they were not going to deal within the Western Conference...

 

[BonesJones]

but do you work? lol

Kinda.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Where are the obligatory fake rumors of Minny rerouting Saric or Covington to Portland for ET?

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Bones doesn't sleep yall.

I am going to assume this is a joke. But man, if it’s not, take it from someone with terrible, HORRIBLE, sleep habits... do something about it. It’s really not all that funny and is bad for your health. I’m learning the hard way.

 

[BigGameDamian]

I would really love Saric at Portland. Been watching him since he was 16, such a useful player, sticking to his task.

Who are the best 5 teams in the league right now?

Well the Blazers are the best. They beat the Bucks and the Bucks beat GS.

I sleep at random times lol.

I just heard of the trade, and checked the 76er lineup. What a mess at PF. Simmons will have to be the starting PF. The team lacks depth at most positions.

 

[Natebishop3]

If I'm being honest, I would have traded CJ for Saric and Covington.

 

[riverman]

If Butler doesn't re-sign with Philly, Philly has really fucked up. Minnesota made out and solved a problem..Butler will have an easier path to the allstar team in the east and the playoffs for sure

 

[Hoopguru]

I hear Wolves were determined to trade him east. Makes total since.

 

[JDC]

It'll be interesting to see how the offense looks. If they can get enough shooting on the floor and utilize Ben more as a PF on offense, I could see it working pretty well.

Needed a closer too, and I think the personalities should mesh well. Both Ben a Joel play with a competitive edge.

How they choose to fill out the rest of the roster will be important though, because as constructed, I still really like how Boston and Toronto matchup with them.
