Jazz go all-in, Raptors adds young talent, Warriors add shooting


SUCCESS

The Jazz may have a steal on their hands with Jared Butler. He's looked like a rotation quality player after a few preseason games. If he pans out, he may have good value on a team that doesn't have minutes for him. Utah could follow the Bucks' path by pushing all their chips on the table for a championship run now. Siakam is exactly the player they need: an athletic defender who can excel in an offensive role where he isn't the primary creator.

In this scenario Toronto restocks their assets with lottery pick Moses Moody, potentially a lottery-level talent in Jared Butler, and future picks (perhaps the number number of picks needs to be further negotiated -- could include 2nds, swaps, or draft compensation from Golden State).

The Warriors load up on shooting, trading some youth for proven vets in Bojan Bogdanovic and Joe Ingles. They also save $4.2m which is massively compounded in salary tax savings.
