If I'm the Jazz, I'm still hell-bent on preserving cap. You have to move Dante in virtually any scenario where you're not rebuilding.
I am not sold at all that Tobias Harris stays with the Sixers. Their other 3 stars are really big personalities that pout a lot, I would dare-say they are self-centered. Are they going to offer him the full 5-year max, and would he want to stay to basically be a 4th option/spot-up shooter? I think it's more likely they retain him if they lose Butler for any number of reasons, but it's hard for me to think that the Sixers would do that on purpose.
Tobias would be the second-option here. Tobias on this team is a perennial WCF team, and if the Warriors start falling apart over the years, probably make the finals. He would be the piece here that makes everything work. We'd need him to create space for our other stars but we would also need him to create.
There is no way I give up a chance to go after him, let alone Kawhi, etc. You strike out, you look at the market for picking up deals that teams don't want to pay on (Blake, Conley!, etc).
