You're right that the Bucks did well with the Middleton deal. I know it's not my money, but when you're in the Bucks' situation coming off having the best season in the NBA and definitely a title contender, you re-sign both Middleton and Brogdon. If they had to make a choice, they should have let Lopez go.

I tend to agree. PAY THE DAMN LUX TAX. Maybe they think a young player is ready to step up. Time will tell.

Sources: Philadelphia has signed-and-traded Jimmy Butler to Miami, with Heat sending Josh Richardson to the 76ers.

PHEW, Glad he's not going to the Clippers

Thats a great get for the 6ers.

Hmmm. Doesn't Miami need to send a lot more salary to the Sixers since Miami is already way over the cap? If so, I wonder who else will be involved. Also, Horford is signing with the Sixers.

To really nice acquisitions for the Sixers. Tobias Harris, Josh Richardson, Simmons, Horford and Embiid gives the Sixers a heck of a starting 5.

Way to go Thibs. Dumbass.

6ers basically got Richardson abd horford fir Jimmy.

Better return than we got.

Thats is a monster staring five if they are starting them. Can harris play the 3?

Basically, they trade butler for what the heat offered us last season Im assuming.
