The heat has finally moved on from James Harden, and it was always a foregone conclusion that the two parties would split ways. However, now that the reigning assist leader and former MVP is gone, there are major questions about how Joel Embiid will be able to lead the team deep into the playoffs without another major name beside him.
One name that could come into the mix is the player who used to be on the 76ers but is now a star of the Miami Heat: Jimmy Butler. There is a way for both the 76ers and Heat to agree on a blockbuster deal that will send Butler to Philadelphia and a package around Tyrese Maxey to Miami. It might seem shocking that the Heat would part ways with the player who led them to two NBA Finals in four years, but since Butler is 34 years old, perhaps this could be a move they will consider.

It is time to evaluate a major move that will send Jimmy Butler to Philadelphia to pair up with Joel Embiid while Miami recoups their loss with Tyrese Maxey and some other assets in perhaps the biggest deal of the NBA season until today. If this deal were to happen, we are looking at Eastern Conference standings that could be very interesting this season and over the next two years.
