would you trade?

You can only play 5 players at a time, sure. I'm just not touching Hood. I'm not REALLY comparing Hood to Klay Thompson or Wiggins, but does anyone think for a second that Golden State isn't elated that they opted to not include Klay in a trade for Kevin Love or that Cleveland isn't kicking themselves for trading Wiggins? I am aware it's not a perfect analogy.
 
No, because butler will be looking for a deal that is one year with a player option in the second year.
 
Hood was probably a top three rookie once finally healthy hood is at least going to be as good as Hayward in my opinion. I'm not ready to give up on hood's potential just yet
 
if it is a long term deal absolutely. Burke & Burks have next to no value trade wise, and while i love Hood, Butler is a proven badass two way player. That team is instantly a western conference contender
 
Hood and Burks are getting under valued. Hard.

I look forward to them proving you all wrong.

2015-2016 is going to be fun. The national surprise will be matched by the boards surprise.

They aren't being under valued.

You are probably under valuing Butler.

Are you saying you'd rather have Burks and Hood over Butler?

I'm projecting 55 wins. Less than 50 will be a disappointment, IMO (barring significant injuries). So no, I'm not going to be surprised.

It wasn't just Burks and Burke. It was Burke, Burks, Hood and multiple picks. And yes I'd rather have all that then Butler.

And yes, they are being undervalued.

Now if it was just Burks and Burke then yes, I'd do it.

Burke is a throw away piece.

Hood and Burks are both nice offensive players, but neither of them look like they'll be that good on defense. The first rounders haven't been specified which ones and if there are protections. But they are most likely late first rounders, who at some point will have to replace somebody on the team, or be traded. You can't keep everyone you pick in every draft over all these years. Because of roster size limitations and salary issues. So in the grand scheme of things, they are not part of the picture anyways, especially because of how full our roster is. This is called looking down the road and looking at the big picture. Do you really think we'll keep everyone we draft and everyone that is on the team right now? In four years the team will look a lot different regardless if you want it to or not.

Jimmy Butler is a fine two way player. He would be an upgrade on the wing over Burks or Hood. There is no doubt about that.

Also, you have to consider the window may not be open for very long. Take advantage while you can. While you have assets to trade for another big piece.
 
I will say if such a deal happened, I would get on board. But I personally wouldn't pull the trigger. There is also that whole two-year contract deal that he's looking for.

Hood may be that big piece. At the least he is absolutely part of that big picture.

Also you are right, you cannot always keep all your draft picks. Glad Kanter is gone and want to trade Burke.

If the Jazz didn't do this trade they still have those assets for a more favorable deal.

Another draw back to the original deal is that if this happened then the Jazz need a bunch of other things to go their way to compensate fot he ruined wing position. Such as Green deciding to sign here.

I would not do the original deal no matter how you argue it. It's a bad deal. One that isn't good for the future you are talking about looking at.
