[qeertyuiop]

Simmons : yes! Another person to rely on to shoot

"Just keep your hands off our girlfriends & wives" - 76ers to Jimmy Butler

[xYajji]

36% say it's a good trade
45% say Jimmy is a cancer
19% say they are now better than the celtics.

I hope this trade pays off.

Heard Jon Gruden wanted Jimmy Butler think he was trying to trade Derek Carr

[mmmcertified]

& Of course Philly would land this Mfer Butler too 🤦🏾‍♂️ Lmao Boston better have they A game come playoffs, Cause the east somehow got deadly out of nowhere this year...

[thomasbarry]

wolves are so stupid the rockets offered them 4 first round picks and they didn't trade for that SMH

[SinRepsHipHop]

It's funny how when a player is traded they are trained to say "it's business" but yet if a player leaves in free agency the owner says they weren't loyal... Smh shits crazy

[propht]

I'm crying from Th and Joel's reaction. There faces say it all

[nigelmpuah]

Joel Embiid has a half Cameroon-half American accent weird😂😂😂😂😂😂

[superstar_h_gamer]

Butler goes against Embiid we can already see the memes

[sunnybarua]

I find it really fascinating that Ben Simmons has an American accent given the fact that he grew up in Australia (& is an Australian

[SirNxgroUnChained]

Shoutout to whoever’s locker that is with the off white subtle flex 👌🏾

[TeeJay-ripl]

Too the people things he's gonna bring bad energy like he did the wolves. Embid isn't Kat he won't fold with pressure he's gonna be giving that pressure right back when it's Jimmy's turn too take it. Still embids team n he won't be having none of that shit Kat was allowing

[heyitzpetah]

I can already see the tension that's going to rise between Emblid and Butler. Emblid not scared of butler, hes going to troll butler so much and piss him off.

2 key role players for someone who might not even re-sign next year, if butler dips the 76ers deserve the fattest of Ls

[HazzyDaGhost]

Embiid knows butler better stay in his place this his team

[Treymorgan-mo]

But Philly will be a threat in East now with Jimmy 2 help out leadership role but he's still not the best player on team but I'm sure he can accept that play good wing defense 2 help out Ben & Embiid will hold his own in the middle

[MrBlahblah]

Absolute perfect fit.. Exactly what this team needed.. A wing that can score.. People talk about how he’s a cancer.. idk, i think he’s an insanely competitive dude that wants to win and has no problem holding his teammates accountable. He got what he wanted.. He knows he has to put up now.. He had no respect for Kat and Wiggins.. Ben and Jo are ballers.. He’s gonna love playing with these dudes. Im stoked.. Plus, i dont have to watch Covington go 1 for 8 from 3 on a nightly basis anymore.. Only thing that would’ve made this deal perfect was if they took Fultz of our hands.. Go Sixers!

If Simmons and Embid, the laid back dude and the jokester, can channel their dog, this will be great. If not, Chicago and Minnesota will exactly like Philly.
