SalemCountyNJ Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 So the 76ers get their star, aquirring Jimmy Butler from the Minnesota Timberwolves. Giving up Saric and Covington, and a 2nd Rd pick in 2022. http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/nba/369696/jimmy-butler-traded-to-sixers-for-roco-saric?ls=roto:NBA:topheadlines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SalemCountyNJ Posted November 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 Eastern conference championship odds to win went from 7-1, to 3-1. NBA championship odds went from 30-1 to 16-1 after this trade was announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbourton Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 Unfortunately the 76ers have to deal with the fact Fultz is a bust. They passed on Tatum which will be the difference in the playoffs. Celtics will dominate sixers even with the new addition. There's a video showing Brown rolling eyes after watching Fultz shot.

Too early to say Fultz is a bust. Seeing some promise from him lately. I’d give it till end of this year at least. Remember, he’s only 20. Still, it’s a shame to see him not only develop slowly, but regress how he did last year. Thank god Embiid is a superstar. Still need Ben to develop his jumper to get to that next level. I liked the Butler deal. Obviously, roco and Saric, for being good B type players, weren’t gonna get us over the top. Remains to be seen how JB develops chemistry with Embiid and Ben. If it goes well, it can really go well. If it’s bad, it’s gonna be bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may not work out but worth the risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
