    I am a huge sixer fan and while i like the value I'm not sure our lineups get any better. We had the best starting 5 in the nba last year. Did it improve?

    Yes.
    But does it fit the lineup? We don't have as good of a lineup imo. Covington is a really good player and Dario can space the fucking floor.

    Simmons Redick Cov Dario Embiid was easily the best starting 5 in the NBA last year statistically. Wasn't close.

    Is Simmons Redick Butler Chandler Embiid really better? Especially with cap space considered? And Fultz?

    Eh.

    Butler is a supreme talent.

    It remains to be seen whether he is Carmello 2.0 in terms of team chemistry/cancer. He says the right things but he didn't work with the Bulls and didn't work with the Timberwolves. Different from Carmello in that Carmello didn't usually call out his teammates but the same as something doesn't fit.

    The 4 1st round picks from Houston was a better deal for the TWolves than what they took
