How do you feel about the Sixers getting Butler?

I fu*king love it

"Jimmy Butler traded to the Philadelphia 76ers for a package that includes Robert Covington and Dario Saric"

The same two the 76er's didn't want to trade for Leonard because Leonard's expiring contract at the end of the year?

It was the talk. But Leonard's health was uncertain and why trade for Leonard if he might be gone at end of the year.
(Like Butler)

"One team source says preliminary discussions with San Antonio revealed the Spurs have strong interest in a package involving burgeoning forwards Dario Saric and Robert Covington as well as a future first-round pick," Fischer wrote.

According to SI, the Sixers are internally weighing a potential offer including Saric, Covington and the 2021 Miami Heat unprotected first-round pick they obtained in their draft-night deal with the Phoenix Suns. That said, sources told SI that Philadelphia expressed how highly it values Saric and Covington in trade negotiations leading up to and during the draft. So it’s entirely possible any talks involving those two forwards won’t go anywhere when push comes to shove.

"One team source tells Fischer that, based on preliminary discussions between the Sixers and Spurs, San Antonio appears to have “strong interest” in a package that includes Dario Saric, Robert Covington, and a future first-round pick — perhaps the Heat’s 2021 first-rounder, which the 76ers acquired last Thursday from the Suns.
Markelle Fultz isn’t mentioned in the SI.com report and Fischer confirms in a follow-up tweet that last year’s No. 1 pick isn’t part of any of the proposed packages that team management has brought to Sixers ownership.
According to Fischer, the 76ers showed little interest in parting with either Saric or Covington in pre-draft trade talks when they explored moving up from No. 10. That doesn’t mean that either player would be off-limits in an offer for Leonard, but Philadelphia appears to strongly value the on- and off-court contributions it gets from Saric and Covington."


We could "link up" all day but the talk was there for that deal.
