Source: Jimmy Butler would have stayed for a max, Sixers uninterested

Sixers Head Coach Brett Brown described on numerous occasions last season the different “teams” he had. The Sixers core morphed several times over the course of the year. As far as basketball goes, it feels like a lifetime ago that they were gearing up for training camp with players like Markelle Fultz, Robert Covington and Dario Saric all preparing for starting roles. Fast-forward through the pair of blockbuster deals that brought in Jimmy Butler last November, Tobias Harris in February, past the heart-breaking playoff loss in May to the eventual champs, past the 2019 NBA draft in June and whirlwind free agency and it feels like a crash course in just how unpredictable the NBA can be.
