    Jimmy Buckets was getting after it in the playoffs this last season, he showed up. 76ers got alot worse IMO letting go of that guy..
    Just my opinion Jibs. Yes he played well in playoffs but his personality is that he wants to be the guy. Has always wanted to go to Miami. Minny almost made the move last year but I think Miami wanted a 1st rd pick. Getting Richardson huge for Philly as Redick a liability on D. Plus You can’t pay him 38 mil when he’s 36.

    Look at the numbers.. Click 2019 playoff stats in this link..https://www.basketball-reference.com...basic_playoffs

    Looked like Jimmy averaged 25 points a game in the playoffs.. Up 10 points from his regular season averages. That's called stepping it up when it counts.. Far from being a fraud..
    Yea because he had the ball in his hands much more and actually tried. He coasts during the regular season because he thinks he’s on that elite level where you can just turn it on and off.

    He and Simmons would never be able to fully coexist. In order to get the best out of simmons, he needs to have the ball with the ability to make plays. Simmons is an elite passer. Butler has a nice midrange game but he’s not as good of an offensive player as most think he is.

    Butler’s game not that of a champion.
