Just saying, Embiid + Jimmy + Markkanen + Maxey (cap hold) + 8 empty roster charges = $140.58m

Before this thing gets going, remember there is a reason the Heat are willing to trade him. Assuming it’s even true.

dont think this would be that great for us but its not like there is some perfect option out there

From the article, Jimmy has – 1 year left and is seeking a 2 year extension
So would ultimately only be 3 years compared to PG’s 4 year max
Spotrac shows he has a PO after next year though so I’m not sure if the 2 year extension he wants applies after that or replaces it (so maybe 4 years total?)

The Heat aren’t trading Jimmy for just picks, they will want players. And they are not trading him to the sixers
ShylockTheGnome
He honestly is a decent fit. I think Lauri might be better fit wise. But jimmy can do the dirty work desperately needed on this team and just be the third option until like the last 5 minutes of a game.

Reminder, Jimmy’s “max” is a one year extension of his contract. He would get 2 “new” years but one of those is replacing his player option that guys are now picking up to request trades on (Harden, PG rumored)

i’m down for a 2 year extension tbh he’s perfect rn and will provide a ton of value down the road in simple leadership and motivation for joel and maxey. he doesn’t need to average 20+ he’ll i don’t even care if he plays in the reg season. maxey rookie jimmy oubre embiid for the next 3 is a great starting lineup and with depth will contend for the remainder of joel’s prime

Why would we want another injury prone star. So we can have two star players out during the playoffs?

The Sixers have no perfect option. But I think Butler has a great winning mentality and would be terrific for them in the playoffs. He doesn’t need to be the first or second scoring option. Just having someone who can hustle and play D while scoring something will do wonders for the team.
Maxey is only going to take another leap forward and if Embiid has support and can play less minutes during the reg season, that would be enormous. Another part of this is as a fan I’m at least confident Butler wouldn’t let a lead slip away when Embiid sits.

My issue with Jimmy isn’t so much about Jimmy himself, but the difficulties in building out the roster after he’s acquired. $50 mil cap and 1-3 picks (??) gone leaves us with little wiggle room. We can’t go into next year’s playoffs 3 deep and then get upset when we fall short again because players 4-9 are terrible.

Everyone needs to get over Jimmy. This isn’t 5 years ago.

Look, Jimmy isn’t as good as he was when he first came here, I get that, I think we all get that. But even now that he’s absolutely been battered by injuries and a regression in his jumper, he’s still an excellent pairing for Joel as a shot creator with facilitation ability and a penchant for stepping the fuck up in the playoffs.
There is no available perfect solution. LeBron is the most ideal but he’s a long shot to leave LA. Who else is there? PG maybe, and even then he might need an S&T anyway?
