Butler, meanwhile, went to the Heat in a, the centerpiece of a three-team deal that included the Mavericks and landed Butler a four-year, $142 million deal. The Sixers received Heat guard Jason Richardson.
Four of those picks, including two first-rounders, were used to acquire Harris at the deadline in 2019. The Sixers were never going to let him walk after making that sort of investment. Within a month of his arrival in Philadelphia via trade in November, Butler had become so overbearing that Embiid requested a trade, according to a high-placed Sixers source. Ownership talked Embiid out of that. Butler quickly learned that his future in Philly revolved around his relationship with the franchise’s cornerstone, so he formed an alliance with Embiid that remains strong today.
Horford was part of the Sixers’ pathetic first-round exit in the 2020 playoffs held in the COVID-19 bubble. Simmons suffered a knee injury and didn’t play in the playoffs. Brown got fired.It is a nightmare again.
