2018-2019 NBA Season

How much help does Ben need?
 
I like Dario a lot. He started slow but I think he was big for their chemistry. Jimmy, BS, Embiid doesn’t sound like a fun locker room. Fair deal for both sides.

This is something to take note of... they had planned to be players in FA... missed on big targets and now decided it best to do this type of deal. This could be what happens with our space if we miss out on guys.
 
Butler plays a lot with the ball. Simmons cant play off the ball. Embiid is already the 3rd highest usage player in the NBA. Embiid and Simmons are both very very high touches per game. They are the 2nd highest combo behind CP3 and Harden. Its not a great fit but I am sure it will be good if they all get along and play hard. They have now lost 5 of their top 3 point shooters from last year. RoCo, Illyasova, Saric, Belinelli, and Bayless were their top 3 point shooter along with Redick who is still there and McConnell who hardly plays.

Their starting lineup shooting 3 point percentage this season going forward: 0%, 34.2%, 37%, and 30.2%. I dont know who their PF will be maybe Chandler who is shooting decent from 3 so far at 40% but that will come down. Butler is now their best 3 point shooting starter.
 
Sentiment on 76ers forums is that they got Butler for next to nothing. They don't seem to like Dario. I think they're wrong. It's an equitable trade, and MN did well to salvage the situation.

I like this trade for both teams.

Sixers struggled so far this year, never seemed to be in the right groove. Now they have their 3rd All Stars and have a pretty good chance at winning the East this year.

Wut? Embiid will be an All Star but who are other 2? Are you expecting Butler to be that old Butler from Chicago? Are you saying no shot, no improvement, no progress Simmons is going to be All star this year?

Sixers fans are one of the most delusional in the world. They think Simmons is top 3 player in the East lol ( the other two being Giannis and Embiid LMAO)

Simmons and Butler are All Stars in the East. Easily.

Watched a couple of Sixers games this year and Saric wasn't playing that many minutes, he's been out of the rotation a while now. He was doing a lot of the playmaking before Simmon arrived but that's been taken away from him and that's a big part of his game.

He was really good last year, with Simmons in the line up. He's just had a rough start to the season.
 
Is there any way we could swing a deal for Saric ?

Will be worth watching the chemistry in Philly. Rumors that Ben and Joel aren’t particularly close .. add Butler ..

Ben has a real douchey vibe... I think Embiid has a strong personality... and Jimmy is an intense mother effer who does not care what anyone thinks... he’s also just weird. Should be fun at least.
