But trading Favors for Butler isn't too much? You did throw that out there as if you'd do it.
would you trade?

Burke = very expendable and replaceable
Burks = expendable and replaceable
Hood = probably expendable and replaceable(the one I'd be most hesitant to give up)
Booker = expendable and replaceable
First round draft picks = expendable because we will be good.
Hood and the picks is really what you are giving up. You can replace the rest in free agency.
Favors and Butler = not expendable or replaceable.

I guess we have to ask ourselves... Who would we rather have in two years. Hayward and Butler or Hayward Burks and Hood. Hood could very well end up as good or close to as good as Butler is now. Will be interesting to see how hood grows as a player in that time. If hood does have that kind of a jump we would be better served to not make this trade. I think it might be too risky. Seems like a Knicks kind of move/disaster waiting to happen. Let's also not forget that Burks has shown the ability to improve his shot and get better in all aspects of his game and I think in two years he will also be much improved. I say no to the deal.
In the scenario that you can land Millsap, yes (there was also the possibility of adding a potential rim-protection stud in Turner at that time). All day. If not? Probably not. And yes, I understand I'm talking about a fantasy scenario (just like this one is).

Also, I'm irrationally high on Hood. I think he could be this team's best offensive player (maybe even best overall player) and I'm not ditching that lottery ticket.
If the package is Burks, Burke, and a bunch of picks then I'm in. But Hood is borderline untouchable until we start to see his ceiling and I don't think we have.

I think people are forgetting that the name of the game still is to pile as much talent as you can into one of your starters. Having the best players is still more important than having depth. In a few years ypu can't even keep all those players anyways.
All those assets mentioned in the trade are largely replaceable and most likely gone in a few years.
Jimmy Butler would add a lot of offense and elite defense to our starting group.

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. I love Butler but that seems like too much.
