The case for Sixers to land Jimmy Butler: he’s literally Jimmy Butler (shrug)

Gimme Jimmy.

By now you know the Sixers have been linked to three players by ESPN’s Brian Windhorst: L.A. Clippers’ star wing Paul George (who Windy expects the Sixers to offer a max contract to), Heat super villain Jimmy Butler and Pelicans’ “star” Brandon Ingram.
