Jimmy Butler is in town..

Ya. We got nothing to give that's in any way comparable to what we got for DWill. Butler is a pipe dream, unfortunately.

They would have to be extremely high on Exum and Hood to considering anything.

According to the reddit thread on this, his step-dad is a coach at BYU, so he has family in Utah I guess.

Googled, Butler was adopted by Jordan Leslie's family (former BYU WR). Their step-dad coaches at BYU.

So there is the connection. His adoptive family lives in Utah.

Wow, interesting. I hadn't realized that.

Wow, interesting. I hadn't realized that.

Why haven't we seen him around more though?

Butler's girlfriend is from Utah. Maybe he's with her visiting family?

We could get him.... it will be a challenge but it's doable. Many people have brought up that Boston can give the first overall pick. The thing is that Chicago may not want to trade Butler to someone in the same conference. We could give them several first round picks. Maybe something like:

2017 1st round pick
2017 GSW 1st round pick
2018 OCK pick (projected 1st round)
2019 Utah 1st round pick
2022 Utah 1st round pick
+any three of Exum, Hood, lyles, Favors.


Not sure they do it, but it's a fairly reasonable deal.

A buddy of mine said he spotted Jimmy Buckets today around downtown. I did some digging and saw some pictures on Instagram that he was tagged in and it's legit, he is in town. Obviously it could be for any number of reasons, but hopefully something is in the works for the offseason. A Hayward, Gobert and Butler core would be a force in this league. Easily top 2 seed with the Spurs getting older..

Spurs is getting older for the last 10 years, yet still the most successful team in the NBA.

So how much did the Jazz sign Butler for?

 

[Et tu Brute]

There's nothing we can give the Bulls to convince them to give away their best player and rebuild.

Unless Jazz extended Hood, Favors and Exum - and then offered them up in a trade.

Doubt there is anything of substance to this; but I think Butler is one of the few legit stars in the league that would actually sign a FA deal with Utah.

He'd probably love playing for QS.
