(Rumor) Jimmy Butler wants out of Philly?

Gordon + Knight + 2 1st

Paul
Harden
Butler
Tucker
Capela

Nice

 

Let's get him then.

 

I just can't see Philly moving him, even if he is unhappy.

 

Ok obviously i would love bulter here. But on a unbiased pure basketball take. Am i the only one that thinks the clippers would be a good fit for bulter this year n going forward with kwahi coached by doc who used to a strong personality ea...rondo. thought experiment

 

They better if he plans on leaving.

 

They would be dumb not to, if he makes it clear he isn’t resigning

 

they were dumb to trade for him from the beginning then

 

You have to think the price to get him would be cheaper this time around. He's blown up 2 franchises in half a season, gotten a coach fired, and the wolves are better without him.

I can totally get on board with the "Jimmy doesn't want to baby sit" theory. The guy is 30 going on 50 - I mean Old. School.

 

From Zach Lowe. Brown asked for opinions. And he got them.

The Sixers went into the Butler experience with eyes wide open, and still hope to re-sign him this summer, sources say. He objected during that recent film session only after coach Brett Brown asked if anyone wanted to add something -- and after an assistant coach nudged T.J. McConnell to speak about his concerns, sources say. Butler didn't mention just his own role; he mentioned McConnell's too.

"When you ask the team, 'What do you see?' you'd better be prepared to listen," Brown told ESPN.com. "I'm OK with it. I have to be. I am the instigator."

I don't think Philly wants Knight on the books for 15 million next year

 

Would you do Gordon and Tucker with no first or Gordon nene with picks?

 

Again? Even TO stayed at least a year on most of his teams. Jimmy

 

We need Tucker.

 

Asking price should be lower than it was when he was on the Wolves. We didn't offer Tucker then, we will definitely not offer him now.

Gordon + (2) 1st Round Picks + Salary Cap Fillers

 

Kris Dunn, Zach LaVine and Lauri Markkanen
Robert Covington, Dario Saric, Jerryd Bayless and 2022 2nd round pick

I'll give them Eric Gordon, James Ennis, Isaiah Hartenstein and Marquese Chriss.

Brand: "The price of the player is four first rounders. Plus take two worthless players."
Morey: "Now, the regular price of a mid-level All Star plus a solid vet is two first rounders. Is that right? Why would I ever pay more than that?"
Brand: "Because I intend to squeeze you. I don't like your kind, with the......double chin and....ping pong. I'll do business with you but the truth is I despise you. The phony way you masquerade yourself. But I want your answer and the first rounders tomorrow."
Morey: "Elton, you can have my answer now if you like. My offer is this........nothing. Not even one first round pick."

Blazers and Thunder are wanting Prince too. Morey needs to target him to replace Ennis. I hope he is not sleeping at the wheel.

Another target that Houston can use, will Morey try and obtain him? If the Knicks trade him to another team, it may end up being another missed chance. I think NYK will retain him, but one can never be certain.

 

I never understood why ppl thought Philly was a good spot for him.

He didn’t like KAT and Wigs do I didn’t get why he would like embiid and Simmons.

While different players they have one thing in common. Their all young with no real winning experience let alone playoff experience.

It was doomed from the beginning.

Unless he has some secrete pact with kyrie another odd ball poor leader of young talent.

Houston was his best bet to play with winners and vets who know what it takes.

 

Harden is 3 weeks older than Butler. The difference between the two of them is night and day. Glad we have Harden locked up. Butler I would take similar to a Josh Smith move. He keeps his shenanigans in order and he keeps his motive as a team motive.
