For that team? Lol yup 35% is great. Butler's perimeter shooting is better this year than years past but he's not going to make their team a better 3pt shooting team. Like I said Butler is an all star at the end of the day and hellh prove his worth come playoff time but the Sixers' glaring hole is still not fixed even with the addition of Butler
The Rockets offer wasn’t that good. I don’t understand why that’s hard to accept for many on the board. The Rockets are off to a slow start, but no GM is expecting a team led by Harden, Chris Paul and Jimmy Butler to miss the playoffs this year or in 2021, and odds are high those picks would be in the late 20s. The two picks with decent value were scheduled to convey in 2023 and 2025, five and seven drafts away. Nobody is interested in waiting a minimum of three years to start receiving returns on their investment.
Gotta give credit to Philly. Their offer was underwhelming, but Minny wanted young Saric instead of EG, it seems. Jimmy Butler was not worth 4 first round picks, despite being an all star. I'm not disappointed because I never expected him to be traded to Houston.
Now the Rockets can look themselves in the mirror and know that nobody is coming to save their season. They have to do it themselves.
I’m not saying this wasn’t reported, just saying that many times there’s more going on in those situations than just what is reported.
I'll say it here too. Avoiding better offers from teams in your own conference is about the dumbest thing you can do. I wouldn't even consider if the other team was my rival or not. What is this logic?
The nice thing is this makes the twolves worse now and in the future, no star will go there on purpose. Now we should focus on getting a veteran big and a shooter like korver.
Harden, Butler, Paul, Tucker and Capela = top 5 team in the nba for the next 5 years. Top 10 team in 2025. Paul could sign small contract after this big one. My grade for 76ers deal: Wolves B If taking 4 picks: Wolves C
So they are ok making a superteam in Philadelphia. It is not going to matter with their Western Conference 8th seed ceiling .
