Jimmy orchestrated a giant media fiasco to help him gain leverage... he attacked several of his teammates openly. Minny should have already traded him but this is about jimmy getting what he wants. Not the guy you bring in... unless we are willing to give the five year max he’d likely pitch a fit here too.

Lol. Calm down Chris Carter. You got any thoughts of your own?

This.

I would think about it if this were his first show, but Jimmy comes with a history of drama and throwing teammates under the bus. Our chemistry is so good and important right now that I wouldn't dare to mess with it for a couple of wins now and drama later.

He needs to get out... or he actually loses a good chunk of money.

My guess is the Heat verbally committed to a 5 year max and became his preferred destination. If he played out the year the most he can get is 4 years and smaller raises.

Jimmy gonna get out and Jimmy gonna get paid.

If you can get Butler for anything other than Rudy and Donovan you do it.

I would try something like Joe, Burks, Sefolosha and Udoh for Butler and Dieng. I love Joe, but if you can get a top 15 player for him plus rotation players you do it. Dieng is overpaid, but he is playable and would be especially valuable if either Rudy or Favors miss time this year. As for Butler, I expect he will sign with whatever team can offer him 5 years. That contract is too long, but you could probably move off from him in the next 3 years if you wanted.

This Jazz team's window to compete is small. Rudy turns 27 this year. He is probably going to be at this level for no more than 4 years, and then fall off considerably (he is a big who relies on quickness/athleticism rather than power and skill). You bring Butler in this year and your top three are championship level (1. Butler, 2. Rudy, 3. Mitchell). You lose depth, but your top 9 are still really good. As Butler declines, Mitchell will be rising, so they can still provide a competitive top options (1. Mitchell, 2. Rudy, 3. Butler). I think you go for it because it could buy them FOUR YEARS of championship contention (when was the last time we could say that?).
 
Butler to Houston?? Wont work. Butler got after Towns and Wiggins for lack of defense/effort, can you imagine the sh*tstorm that would happen playing next to Harden and Anthony?

Houston should make the deal.
