This situation presents a complex scenario for a potential deal that could see Butler rejoin the 76ers.
During the 2018-19 season, after being traded from the Minnesota Timberwolves, he spent most of his time with the Philadelphia 76ers. In the unforgettable playoff series against the Toronto Raptors, Butler started all seven games, averaging 22.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 5.6 assists per game.
