Could we be third trade partner with Knicks/Clips?

[Coach Ellis]

Screw the Clippers. Chase the star not the pieces. Not sure I'd want Melo for the next two years (although I think a change of scenery could make that contract not nearly as bad as it is in New York right now) , but that's the caliber of player the Jazz should be looking at. Much prefer renting Millsap or going all in with Butler, Hayward, Hill and Gobert. Butler and Hayward would be awesome together. Would have to hope that Jimmy Butler doesn't screw up the team's chemistry though. He comes across as a difficult guy to manage sometimes.

I think the jazz should be looking to turn 2 eventual $20M/yr deals into 1 eventual $30M/year deal. Favors, Hood, and filler for Jimmy B?

Yes Plz ...

no way the Bulls would ever say yes tho

If the Jazz could land Butler...that would completely solve all of our problems. With Butler on our roster, the Jazz suddenly have the superstar/alpha dog we've been missing since d-will and an insurance policy if Hayward were to leave.

The Jazz with Butler and no Hayward = slightly better than the current Jazz.
The Jazz with Butler AND Hayward = championship contender.

Who are we kidding?...this will never happen, but it's nice to momentarily dream.
