But why would Butler lie about it? That's the piece that makes no sense. If Philly wanted to move on (which I don't know why they would after getting as close as possible to beating the eventual 2019 champs), why would Butler cover for them?

Maybe they weren't, like super excited or w/e but Butler took off for Miami at like 12:01am on FA day so there wasn't really time for him to get pushed out.

Is this where we go back to pretending that FA negotiation doesn't happen until the clock strikes midnight?

Like, I generally am not a fan of convoluted conspiracy theories and I believe Jimmy if he says he just wanted out and to go to an organization more aligned to how he likes to do things. But I also don't think it's very implausible that the Sixers started hemming and hawing before that like a friend who owes you a favor and is trying to get out of it

The Jimmy Butler Heat are so cool. Getting Embiid on board would overcome my last defenses of not rooting for them because they're the Heat.

Try to fine someone to take Horford, use all those picks on some guys who can actually dribble and/or shoot, and then probably run it back and see if it's different with Simmons and a new coach.

I expect him to blow by people hopping on one foot. He has terrific one-foot hopping form.

I think that they can move Horford for something positive if they want. The benefit to being a total loving disaster on all fronts is that you can make the case that Al isn't washed.

Alternatively you could just use the 21st pick to draft the best shooter available, try to develop Matisse, and keep cooking next year. They still have young guys with potential.

Possible i'm wrong (I personally think he could still be a useful player!) but I don't think very many teams are going to view Al as a positive asset with his contract after this year. Think you either have to take a bad deal back or attach a pick to get someone to bite.

Yeah I definitely think that Philly has to lose any trade to move him, I just think that since the team has been such a loving clownshow all season that it may obfuscate things a bit.

LaMelo needs to be a Sixer. Although if you got Edwards then Ben could go back to being PG.
