Jimmy Butler

Jimmy Butler is expected to receive a maximum contract extension from the 76ers if the Sixers can acquire him on the trade market.

Fantasy Impact

Other than Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris, no other 76ers player from the 2018-2019 season was on the roster for the 2023-2024 season. Butler would also have a new coach in Nick Nurse. If Butler rejoins Philly, he would pair with Joel Embiid and rising star Tyrese Maxey in the hopes of bringing the Sixers a title.
