The Butler did it.

He got out of Minny.

TWolves send him to 76ers

for Saric, Covington and (I heard a 2)


I'm not sure if giving up 2 starters for Butler is smart, but 76ers star power increased.

They got most of the season to figure it out.

Wow.

Two starters. 

Covington a SF.

Saric a PF. 

Excellent haul for Minny. 

Covington a very underrated sniper from trey at the three spot.  Allows Wiggins to play Big Wing/SG...okay, positionless hoops.   

Saric could be a star playing next to Towns at the 4.  Leaves a big hole at the 4 for Philly next to Embid.  Wilson Chandler at the 4?

Layden and Thibs did it.  Credit where credit is due. 

Butler on Philly?  SF.  Could be a significant leader.  Or detonate.  I reckon the former.

That's my take as well.

I'm not a big Butler fan, so I'm probably missing the obvous allure of a 1 year rental who for that 1 year has to find his place and points on a team that has its  2 young franchise stars in place.

I think its a pretty good trade for Minny all things considered.

Its a great deal unless you think Covington is irreplaceable.

Have to look at it as Jimmy vs Saric - and Jimmy/Ben/Joe-el is the BIG 3 every team looks for.

From the other end of course you love to have the extra guy - and hope Saric gels immeidately with the Wolves core.

Before the season they turned down Josh Richardson, Kelly Olynyk and a first rounder. That's a much better haul. I wouldn't give Layden and Thibs too much credit.

But of course the situation changed.

Minnesota is 4-9 and a bit frustrated.

And J-Buts has refused game play.

We're not playing badly.  Just not shooting well enough to hang.

NY going down as expected. Raptors way too good for this version of NY.

Good loss, a lot of improving contributions. As long as Enes is on the bench you know it is a tank. This the year that Rapters finally overtake the Celts?

stop with the tanking talk.  Ny is not winning anything with or without EK.  you need to develop Robinson for the future because NY is not giving EK a large piece of their cap.

team is simply not good enough right now to complete.

let's see what we look like a year from now.

KP back,  Knox and Robinson get a year under heir belt.  we get another lottery pick.  someone takes our money.  hopefully.

we shall see.  the present is not good.  the future is the unknown.

Nagel, the Knicks don't need to give EK a large piece of their cap. They could just negotiate a reasonable extension. I realize he most likely wouldn't take it after being demoted. Robinson could be developed playing the same number of minutes off the bench, but I guess it's too late for all of that.
