Covington is average and Saric was nothing special. Butler is a top 15 player. And they didn’t even have to give up a first round pick. Great move by Philly. The real losers are Minnesota. They gave up Lavine, Dunn and the pick that was Markannen for Butler. So they basically traded Lavine, Dunn and Markannen for Covington and Saric.
