Or more reason to not hinder ALL cap flexibility and ALL lineup depth and flexibility with a point guard (the most over-saturated, least valuable position) who can't stay in front of anybody.

I bet you thought the same thing about Harden...What a overvalued position and Harden...man, he can't stay in front of anybody. Yet, there is Harden, on a team with less talent than we have, looking down on us from the standings.

Weird, right?

Where's Lillard again?

Last year, he took a team with less talent than the Jazz had to the playoffs. So...when has Favors, Hayward, Gobert, Hood, Burks, Exum, etc done that? It wasn't until we obtained very, very good player in Hill that we became a playoff team.

Imagine what would happen if Lillard, who is better than Hill, joined this team?

He's not joining this team. You're trading this team for him. Comparing him to Harden is ridiculous as well.

This is what the Jazz should be focusing on. Anyone and anything other than Gobert, Hayward, Hill and Hood should be on the table.

If there was any chance of this deal happening without Trading Gobert or Hayward, you are almost certainly gone have to give up Hood.

Hood, Favors, GSW 1st, Our 1st, OKC 1st too much/Enough? Of course, you'd likely have to take on 1 guy the Pacers didnt want.

This is true. When Harden was traded, he wasn't a proven commodity. Lillard is. Lillard is a much smaller risk trading for than Harden was.

I'd trade anyone not named Hayward or Gobert for Butler/Lillard/George. Hill is too old and Hood is too over-rated.

Much smaller deal as well. And mostly comparing them as players, not their deals. Harden is is tier 1 right now of NBA talent.
 
Would much rather have Butler. Don't want to re-team Hill and George, and Butler has a much better and longer deal.

I'd offer Hood, Favors, Exum, the OKC 1st, GS 1st, and our unprotected 1st in this draft. It's still probably not enough to get it done but that's two damn solid players and a possible big upside guy in Exum as well as three draft picks in a killer draft. I'd probably also consider throwing in a 2019 1st, slightly protected.
