The Philadelphia 76ers are favorites to re-sign both Jimmy Butler and Tobias Harris this off-season, but there is a big chance that Jimmy Butler might decide to take his talents somewhere else and try and establish his own super team.

The Boston Celtics have space to sign the two All-Stars now that both Al Horford and Kyrie Irving are with one leg out the door. Kemba Walker is heavily touted to join the Boston Celtics in free agency and Jimmy Butler might be a great fit next to him.

Kemba Walker has been playing for the Charlotte Hornets throughout his whole career and has been a superb player. Walker played all 82 games in the 2018-19 season and earned an All-Star call-up, averaging 25.6 points, 5.9 assists and 4.4 rebounds a game. Even though he is a point guard, Kemba is a superb off-the-ball player and can complement Butler's ball heavy game perfectly.

Jimmy Butler had a topsy-turvy season, his hostile exit from the Timberwolves had given his stock a massive beating. But a solid 2nd half of the season with the Philadelphia 76ers and a playoff run where he was arguably the 76ers' best player, Butler is back as one of the best free agents out there on the market.

Butler averaged 18.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists in a reduced role on the offense during the regular season, but showed his worth in the playoffs. Butler is a force to be reckoned with on the defensive end and can make up for Walker's shortcomings on that end.

If paired together and along with a young talented core in Boston, Butler and Kemba can make the Celtics an instant competitor in the Eastern Conference again and make up for the loss of Horford and Kyrie for the Celtics.
