Sexton/George/Butler/Lauri would be sickHe’s old, but I would LOVE to have Jimmy Butler on the Jazz. Dude would definitely come in and be the Alpha from day 1. Would love to see what that would unlock for guys like Sexton and Markkanen.

If we win the number 1 it would include Sarr.Sexton/George/Butler/Lauri would be sick
No it probably wouldn't as you have to trade things to get ButlerIf we win the number 1 it would include Sarr.
You would, but I think the Jazz have enough ammunition that they could keep a top pick this year.No it probably wouldn't as you have to trade things to get Butler
I think you’re right, but I also think that Ainge wants stars (even if they have baggage) and both guys qualify. It would be up to DA to sell it. As long as the Jazz keep Markkanen, I’m open to just about anybody.I think there's a negative chance Paul George and Jimmy Butler would want to play out the last years of their prime (ish) in Utah.
Yeah 2 aging stars starting to wind down rarely equal a franchise player capable of taking anyone to the promised land. Needs to be a bigger splash.I think there's a negative chance Paul George and Jimmy Butler would want to play out the last years of their prime (ish) in Utah.
I think if they can dump Collins and Clarkson, they would be able to sign a max guy and extend Lauri to near max.Are the Jazz able to open up a max contract slot? I assume if we do it is at the expense of extending Lauri?

I'm not familiar with the ins and outs of how the salary cap works, but could a potential sign and trade with Collins/Clarkson and some picks work. The Clippers are pretty short on assets, and still in win now mode, so maybe so quality vets and replenishing draft picks is exactly what they are looking for?I'm pretty sure the only way to dump Collins would be to give up picks. I'm guessing if we move Clarkson, it wouldn't necessarily be in to somebody's cap space either.
It would require some movement. I would rather put my miracle wishes on the chances that the ping pong balls drop in our favor over the next two years. That is a MUCH more likely miracle than PG coming to Utah. If he wants to leave LA then Orlando and Philly are much better spots to win right now. Florida is also sunny and tax free… and Orlando is out of the bright lights. We finish 4th on that list if the money is the same. PG will get max offers for 4 years from LA and Philly… maybe Orlando but they may want to do Klay on a shorter deal instead.I'm pretty sure the only way to dump Collins would be to give up picks.

DA did it once before....Yeah 2 aging stars starting to wind down rarely equal a franchise player capable of taking anyone to the promised land. Needs to be a bigger splash.
Added to an already near-MVP level player. Very different circumstances.DA did it once before....
Yeah but the Clippers had plenty of mistakes you can avoid.Added to an already near-MVP level player. Very different circumstances.
But do did the clippers. Recently. You know with PG.
So did we. Mistakes can and usually do happen. PG is not a basket we need to carry a bunch of our eggs, not at this point in his career. We'll make a few mistakes along the way, it's inevitable. PG isn't enough to overcome that. Not like a ANT coming into his own as a legit MVP candidate can cover up other mistakes. We still need our Batman before we go break the bank for Robin.Yeah but the Clippers had plenty of mistakes you can avoid.
I would be way worried about a 4 year max. Ya that's a no for me dog.He's played almost exactly 2/3 of his games as a Clipper (regular season). Not great, not terrible, but he's 34 now. I'd be a bit worried about, say, a 4 year max.
True.Sexton/George/Butler/Lauri would be sick
