So inc blazer fans all mad when they realize Philly didnt have to give up much to get him.

 

[BonesJones]

Bones doesn't sleep yall.

Minnesota got a great deal, good for them.

And I bet Butler stays in philly.

Covington/Saric/crappy pick for Butler/Patton? That;s actually not bad in terms of what MIN got back. I didn't think they would get that much.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Really thins out Philly's frontcourt. Who else do they have to play alongside Embiid? Amir Johnson and Mike Muscala, and...? Are they going to play Simmons at point power forward?

More Chandler and Bolden?

I'm guessing:

Fultz / McConell
Redick / Shamet
Butler / Chandler
Simmons / Johnson
Embiid / Muscala

I think the best part of this for philly is they got rid of all the contracts they didn't want. If butler doesn't work out they can let him walk.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

More Chandler and Bolden?

Possibly. I could see Chandler at the 4. Don't know about Bolden. Completely forgot about him.

Minnesota needed shooters and got 2 good shooters. The trade actually pisses me off.

As a Blazer fan I like this trade. Minnesota doesn't scare me, Philly "might" be better, but they're off in the east only see them twice.

On paper it’s a good move but then I remember who’s in charge and I just feel bad for Saric, he’s going to be handcuffed by that idiot.

 

[Sarni]

Saric was the only good 4 at Philadelphia. They have to move Simmons there and allow him to play on the ball a lot from power forward position.

Butler will improve them for sure though and will add experience. They needed to change something because that team was not that great.

Covington is a very inconsistent shooter. He’s a great defender though and they probably needed that even more next to Wiggins and Towns.

Teague/Wiggins/Covington/Saric/Towns is a decent team. Probably not playoffs good but has room to grow. Most importantly the deal they got back is basically almost as good as what they needed to send to acquire Butler in the first place or just slightly worse. Dunn, LaVine and Markkanen are a better package than Covington and Saric because there’s one more player there and they are all in a similar tier (Dunn is a tier below the rest though IMO) but they also got a year out of Butler and a playoffs appearance which they had been starving for.

 

[craigehlo]

Saric was being held back a bit on with the emergence of Joel. Playing him alongside KAT isn't going to be a great paring.

These are better players on paper for MIN than the proposed Miami deal, but a worse fit.

 

[julius]

Huh, I was told the Blazers would have to include CJ in trade talks. Neither of those guys are CJ.

Well the Blazers didn't get him, so maybe they would've had to include CJ.

Not if Minnesota accepted Covington and Sarcic or whatever their names were.

 

[Blazers Roy]

meh, silly trade imo.
Doesn't make sense for either team. WTF is Minny going to do with Saric? play him alongside KAT and his defense? sounds kinda dumb imo.

It's already rumored egos are clashing in Philly with Embiid and Simmons, now add Butler to the mix lol.
