The Golden State Warriors are considering a trade that could send Jimmy Butler to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Paul George or Joel Embiid. Butler, recovering from an ACL injury, could be utilized as matching salary in a deal aimed at unloading high-priced contracts for the 76ers. Reports suggest that trading Butler may allow Philadelphia to offload either Paul George's four-year, $211 million deal or Joel Embiid's contract, which is considered less favorable at this time. The situation remains fluid as the offseason unfolds.
