From Tom Ziller - the 3 important things we learned from the Jimmy Butler trade.
Lakers reach .500 after a... Tyson Chandler block of a Trae Young finger roll (carey's note: "A what now?") \: https://www.silverscreenandroll.com/201 ... trae-young1. The Wolves got less for Jimmy than the Spurs got for Kawhi Leonard and the Pacers got for Paul George. We're not even grading Indiana on a curve here given Victor Oladipo's huge rise after the trade: Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis were a better package than Saric and RoCo, especially since Minnesota is also giving up Patton. DeMar DeRozan and Jakob Poeltl are a better package too, even with Danny Green also going to Toronto. Jimmy's stock has fallen, or the Wolves' front office performed worse than the others, or both.
2. Elton Brand is extraordinarily brave. Brand just took over the lead job in the Sixers front office a couple months ago. He just watched Butler ruin the chemistry of a young team with shaky internal leadership. And now he's injecting Jimmy straight into a team with brash Joel Embiid, calm Ben Simmons, and skittish Markelle Fultz. What a huge bet! I love it.
3. Jimmy Butler is absolutely in play this summer. Since Jimmy didn't land with the Heat, Knicks (who were apparently never in the mix, good for them), and Clippers -- three teams he targeted -- it would seem he'll be in play as a free agent this summer. The Sixers can pay to keep him if they want to and if he wants to. It should be interesting to read those tea leaves.
DeMar DeRozan is on his way to a season matched only by Michael Jordan: https://www.poundingtherock.com/2018/11 ... tart-means
