Apart from Herro, Jimmy Butler had a terrific game. The 35-year-old carried the team on his back with 35 points, 19 rebounds, and 10 assists. Considering the recent trade chatter involving Butler, this performance will undoubtedly increase his value in the market.

The Jazz are expected to be “active” on the trade market for John Collins, per ESPN’s Tim MacMahon. He is considered a “prime candidate” for a transaction. He has a player option in his contract that he could trigger this offseason or he could test free agency.

It feels like the actual trade season has started earlier than ever too. Already, we’ve seen two teams try to solve a problem, with the Golden State Warriors acquiring Dennis Schröder to help their backup point guard problem and the Indiana Pacers trading for Thomas Bryant to get some backup center depth.
