interesting times for the sixers.
butler seems really happy in philly and hes only the 4th option on offense. it feels like we havent scratched the surface with him yet, we're not utilizing much PnR (not surprising, since we're basically last in the league in PnR usage) but its been decently effective when we have. hes already got great synergy with simmons. hes actually been great defensively the last few games, it seems like they really needed to iron out how to play against guards between him/ben/jj.
the fultz thing is going to come to a resolution in the next 2 weeks, i think. december 15th is the date that all free agents who signed over the summer can be traded. i expect fultz will be moved before the february trade deadline. entering next summer, assuming fultz is traded for an expiring contract and butler signs for the 5 year max, we'll still have about $20m in cap space. i think redick comes back on the MLE, which means we might possibly be able to make a run at a guy like tobias harris, which would be the dream situation.
as it stands now, we need a 3 or 4 because that is our weakest spot on the bench.
