Copy/paste my post in the Sixers forum:
Welp, this is interesting. Butler is a huge upgrade over RoCo. I don’t like losing Dario. He’s a legit stretch-4 and the team needs one of those to space the floor.
For a little while now, there has been this voice inside my head- it’s a quiet little voice but it’s very persistent, that keeps telling me that Ben Simmons should be a forward not a guard. So given this trade, what I would like to see is a frontcourt of Simmons-Embiid-Butler and a backcourt of Fultz-JJ. Second unit, Muscala-Amir-Chandler with TJ-Shamet.
It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out on the floor.
