Chicago SHOULD trade Jimmy Butler; and we SHOULD be there with the right package.

I'm a total rookie at this but looking at the pieces on each team, maybe something like this?

Utah gets; Butler
Chicago gets; Brooklyns 1st rnd pick + Hood/Burks
Celtics get; Favors, Whithey

Utah gets the big fish
Chicago get a talented wing and top 3 pick to kick start rebuild
Celtics solve their rebounding/rim protection problem


Side note. I love the make up of this team and happy to ride it out.

Chicago can still race toward the bottom in a stacked draft class, get a haul for Jimmy B, and reboot fairly quickly.

Jimmy, Hay, and Rudy is a young and nasty Big 3. And Hill is the right guy to round them out.

Maybe he can just punch a chair instead of getting traded in order to tank properly. The result: Stacked Draftclass high picks plus you get to keep one of the few best two-dimensional players in the league.

I just see no reason they do that. No chance at a super-star in that package. They are going to want a lottery pick. Boston is the only team IMO who can really make a fair offer for him. I think they are just leaking these rumors to get other teams to send offers to get Boston to deal both picks.

Chicago's dream scenario is clearly getting a decent offer from a team like Utah then parlaying that to pressure Boston. If that doesnt work, I'm sure they just dont do any deal. I just see no logical reason to deal Butler when it's clear EVERYTHING wrong with that team is the fault of the GM. Fire the GM and fire Hoiberg (because that relationship is probably past the point of recovery). Get rid of Rondo. Go from there.

this. i couldn't agree more with the OP, but i just don't think the Jazz can get Butler without giving up Hayward or Rudy. Perhaps Favors, Hood, Exum and a 1st or two if Chicago is desperate enough - they should certainly ask - but i don't see Chicago doing it unless they get a bonafide star in return.

Butler is a diva nowadays, he is not the same humble kid out of Marquette. He is constantly criticizing management and his teammates. The Jazz would not deal Hayward or Gobert straight up for him (and the Bulls would want more than anyways).
 
Man if they could do it for literally anyone on the roster not named hay or Rudy, they absolutely have to.

I bet chicago would rather have Lyles than favors at this point, but what the hell, just give them both, and exum, and Greg millers hair.

How about Hayward for him?
 
Hood, Favors, Exum, & a future protected first.

That's about as good as we could do. We then use our two draft picks this year to make a play towards a PF


Boston will edge our offer
