Philadelphia acquires Jimmy Butler

Finally the Jimmy Butler saga has come to a conclusion:

Minnesota has traded Jimmy Butler and Justin Patton to Philadelphia for Robert, Covington, Dario Saric and a 2022 second-round draft pick, league sources tell me and @JonKrawczynski.

This news is tough to swallow for fans of the Celtics. The Sixers are undefeated at home and seem to be hitting their stride as of late, winning four of their last five.

Adding Butler to an already dangerous team could be a major problem for Boston.
