I’ll be at our game in Charlotte next weekend to get my first look at the team with Jimmy.

I just realized Jimmy is 29 years old. With his injury history and the mileage he has playing with Thibs, resigning a 30-year-old Butler to a 5-year max is a bit worrisome. Or am I just overthinking this?

I'm a little iffy on that as well but I still like the trade a lot.

He did come into the league at 22 and didn’t really play much until 24/25
Yea he’s been Thibs but I don’t think it’ll be that much of an issue. He won’t be playing 40+ every game

That's a good point. And you also see players like Lowry (32) who seems to be getting better as he ages, Jimmy is the type of player who takes care of his body as well. It's just something to note tho.

Here's an interesting thought...
With Butler working best with the ball on his hands off the PnR and Simmon's incredible athleticism and lack of a jumpshot, it would be a very interesting experiment to use Simmons as a roll man (think Tyson Chandler). Have lineups with Mascala as your center to stretch the floor and watch Simmons outrun and outjump his matchups.

I was wondering if he would give it up. Wonder if it cost Jimmy some $$$?

Furky deserves to be in the rotation

Yup, definitely. Showed a lot tonight. Maybe he'll not ask for the trade anymore since they traded RoCo and Homie and he can get some minutes?

Furkan actually looked pretty good tonight in his minutes down the stretch. Still would rather send him to play with his pal Cedi and bring Korver to Philly.

If we can develop Furk and Shamet into decent defenders.....man
Speaking of Shamet, he has hops. Did a nice 360 during warmups. Pump and all

Yea, I read that earlier.
That free throw Fultz took today was brutal, I hope he can get his head straight.

Some random tidbits from the Jimmy Butler Intro presser:
-He said he knows Markelle has been working hard this offseason since he's seen him a lot in LA. He said it's all mental and the talent is clearly there. He said all he wants from him and the rest of his teammates to play hard
-He isn't chasing a major contract. He wants to win. His family is set for the rest of their lives
-He has great relationships with his prior teammates. They loved him in the locker room but he's very demanding on the court. Said he gets a bad rep for being a bad teammate from reporters but no player has come out and said it
-Still loves country music and drives a minivan. Doesn't do much but play ball and play dominos/cards. Simple man
-Loves the fact that the fanbase loves players who grind and play hard. Sees a good match between the city and his playing style
-Says that the offense will be our strong suit. Liked what he saw last night against the heat and how everyone was open. Alluded that defense will need to be improved
-Number 1 goal is to win a championship here in Philly
