The Dallas Mavericks have acquired Kelly Olynyk and Derrick Jones from the Miami Heat as part of the Jimmy Butler sign-and-trade with the Philadelphia 76ers.

76ers Appear Willing To Participate In Jimmy Butler Sign-And-Trade

Jun 27, 2019 11:44 AM

The Philadelphia 76ers would like to re-sign Jimmy Butler, but a source tells Sam Amick of The Athletic it is looking likely they will be willing to cooperate in a sign-and-trade scenario.

The Houston Rockets are aggressively pursuing a sign-and-trade for Butler.

The 76ers want to avoid losing Butler for nothing just a few months after acquiring him for Robert Covington, Dario Saric and a 2022 second round pick.

Philadelphia must also contend with the free agency of Tobias Harris.

The Rockets will need to unload some combination of Clint Capela, Eric Gordon and P.J. Tucker to acquire Butler. Gordin would be a logical fit for the 76ers.
