Burke, burks, hood and a couple future firsts (probably booker) for Jimmy Butler in a sign and trade with Chicago?

the reason Chicago would do it is because some one can offer butler atomic contract. front load it and give a big signing bonus and other stuff. Jerry riensdorf is usually tight. rumor has it butler is a little upset with how he is handled there with being told it is still Derrick rose's team.

a starting 5 of

exum
butler
Hayward
favors
Gobert

is a finals contender.
 
No. That's too much. That decimates our wing rotation. Hood and Burks? Plus future firsts?

Hood and Burks are going to stun a lot of people.

That line up would have 0 depth at the wings. Ingles and Millsap are all you have left. Maybe Hanlan at the 2. That's not a finals roster.
 
jazz could still sign green and this could be the team next year

exum, hanlan, cotton
butler, green, millsap
Hayward, ingles
favors, lyles
Gobert, pleiss

there is still room for a couple more people on that roster. butler, Hayward and green play most of the minutes at the 2 and 3.

was just responding to that lol
 
No would rather unload Booker and Burke for a pick and use the money to front load Danny Green in a 4 year deal.
 
This would assume the Bulls have resigned themselves to the idea that the contract offered would be too much and that they'd want to salvage whatever they can to not be left with nothing? If so, that's giving them way too much.
 
I don't know ANY contract is going to be toxic. If it pushes a team into the luxury tax one season, most teams would be willing to do it to keep an all-star/near franchise player. The cap and tax threshold goes WAY UP next summer and only repeat offenders are severely punished. It would take a DMC-type situation to make Chicago explore a trade and I don't think there's nearly the amount of animosity between Butler and Chicago as there is with DMC/Sacramento or there was with Kanter, for example.
 
I would make a big offer for Butler, sure. I like the message it sends to the league even if we don't get him.

And yeah, I would trade for him too. We'd have the best defense in the league for sure, and our offense would probably bump up to top 10, depending on how Exum improves.
 
I'm gonna say yes.

It decimate the wing rotation, but you can always fill those holes with free agents.

You could add Butler, then go and make offers to KJ McDaniels, Danny Green, Carroll, Crowder, etc..
 
If want to see what Hood can become after another year. He could be really special. If he plays like he did at the end of the season...
