Butler?

"Jimmy Butler with the bucket"

"Hey Matty, did you know Gordon Hayward went to Butler? Yeah, and Jimmy's last name is Butler. We have to come up with a nickname for this duo Matty"

"You are absolutely right Boler. Let's go to Jazz Nation for this one"

"I'm going to stop you right there Matty, I already have the name. Listen to this: The Butler Brothers."

"Oh man Boler I dont know, we are going to have ask Jazz Nation"

"Matty I have the pulse of the nation. The Butler Brothers it is"

Small price to pay for an elite 2-way player.

I was joking - I'd take Butler in a minute.

And there is a small sliver of hope. I think Butler is wary of going some place where the lunatics run the asylum - he's made comments about The Bulls lacking structure and Hoiberg being too much of a "player's coach". Deep down he has the same work ethic/character as Hayward. He'd probably love playing for Quin.

This is all hypothetical though. I doubt they work out a deal for him to play in Utah but I hope I'm wrong.

We could offer to go back and retroactively forfeit the four games we won against them in the finals in '97 and '98 so they could record back-to-back sweeps. They could also do it because of the Mormons and all.

I think Paul George would be easier to acquire and he may be a slightly better fit because of his ability to shoot it from outside better than Butler. I think Indiana will trade him this offseason. But my best offer for either would be Favors, Hood, Exum + picks.

You'd trade all of that for a 1 year rental of Paul George? The reason they would trade him is because they may lose him for nothing. You don't give that much up for a player on his last year of contract.

Wow. Well done. I could actually hear their voices. The killer B's!!!

Too much. Dwight Howard (in a similar situation) cost the Lakers an injury risk player with potential (Andrew Bynum), a backup stretch 4 with potential (Josh McRoberts), a D-League guy (Christian Eyenga) and a first round pick still several years out (2017).

Based on injury concerns and future contract issues, the Jazz should try to keep Hood and Exum, while actively shopping Favors, Burks, Diaw, Lyles and multiple draft picks to try and land another key guy as well as open up some cap space at the same time.

I'd give up 3 assets for George. That would be my limit.

I more or less agree. I'd go Favors, Lyles (NOT Exum or Hood) and draft picks - not sure how many. . . but I wouldn't restrict them if it seals the deal.

Burks should get flipped for a pick or a contract. Either give the Jazz cap relief, or give them a contributor. Diaw should be used as cap relief for another team. Use that non-guaranteed contract to get more help. Maybe that's where your power forward help comes from.

You have to give up Exum or Hood.

Are the Bulls more likely to part with Butler if we take Wade's contract too?

Yes because I think he would re-sign long-term.

Like I said that would be my best offer. It wouldn't be my first offer. If you can do it for less you do it. But I doubt it would be easy to get him. You aren't going to trade guys like Burks and Diaw for PG lol
