Based on Daryl Morey's presser today, he made it very clear that they want to go for a third star, that the team needs a wing, that age isn't that much of a concern. That was one of the most direct pressers that I've seen from Morey. Usually, he beats around the bush or doesn't want to tie himself to a specific player/position. But, he was direct that he'd rather a team that has to be managed until the playoffs than a worser team that is always available. That he likes the challenge of trying to hit on Min Deals. So, he made it clear that PG13 and Jimmy Butler were the top targets. Meanwhile, Pat Riley said they don't want to trade Jimmy Butler. But, that they are hesitant on extending him if he's not going to be consistently available and that Jimmy should keep his mouth shut if he's not playing. I'd still rather get PG13 because they keep their draft assets in order use those to get better players to fill out roster

Are we headed for a divorce between Miami and Jimmy Butler ? He would be a interesting fit on a lot of teams

That was another direct frank presser. I think Riley is just fed up with guys not being available. He made comments about Herro not always being available to go along with Butler. Butler has not played over 65 games since 2016-17 and hes only had 2 seasons above 70 games two out of thirteen seasons. Plus, Jimmy isn't for everyone. He's going to do Jimmy.

I'm not sure about Jimmy for Philly. He's going to BS for most of the season, probably only play 60-65 games, not the best fit between Maxey and Embiid. The third guy needs to be an off ball high volume 3pt shooter. The positives with Jimmy is a bucket getter, another ball handler/initiator, plus defender, and an alpha dog that Embiid isn't. But, he wouldn't be my first choice
