Well im not a Butler fan or anything, but the rumor is that Butler had issues with KAT (and Wiggs) and then had issues with Ben's and Embiid's work ethic and dedication.

Butler, who is not the most talented of guys, then over achieves and leads a lack luster Heat team to one Finals appearance

After watching the Sixers' series, and the mental midgets Ben and Embiid are, I don't blame Butler having issues or attitudes with the Sixers' cast.


I understand but ironically Embiid was really strong in this years playoff while Butler was awful.


I disagree with you here. i think Embiid had a bad playoffs. I don't really care if you score 50 if you go 0-5FG in the last 10 minutes of a game. Embiid really showed he is mentally weak and probably the worst clutch player in the NBA right now.


I felt like Joel carried the 76ers on his back. No player is perfect especially when double teams often but without him I do not know how many if any playoff games the 76ers win this season. Here is a comparison of their playoff stats this season.

Stats rounded up/down

Embiid 7 wins 28.1ppg-51%FG-39%3pt-84%FT-11RPG-3APG-2BPG
Butler 0 wins 14.5ppg-30%FG-27%3pt-73%FT- 8RPG-7APG-0BPG
My eyes glaze over when reading alternative stat (not advanced stat) narratives that go many paragraphs long. If you can not make your point in 2 paragraphs it may not be a great point. :D

Like i said before, im not a fan of either guy so comparing Embiid to Butler won't do much to me. If Embiid scored 50, its not too much to ask to hit 1 or 2 shots in the last two minutes to close out the game. It also wasn't fair to Embiid's teammates if Embiid ball hogs all the shots and takes his teammates out of rhythm, and then expects his teammates to hit shots at the end of the game.

Think the Wolves would need a package based around Hunter and kind of sounds like that's a non-starter.



You want to trade an All Star Center for a package centered around an injured SF with a career scoring avg of 15 ppg?

:jawdrop:

Knock yourself out, bud. We'll take that trade all day everyday...


Lol don't forget we're keeping the stud Reddish who we're not sure if he can dribble

Yeah if Player A is giving me those kind of stats, I'm looking to see what the problem was at to why we're not in the Finals and correcting it(Sixers practically have no backcourt). Embiid carried the Sixers to 3 wins against us. Without him, we embarrass them. 4th qtr woes happen, but i'm still not saying calling Embiid's playoff run a "bad" postseason at all.
