Im just going to throw this out to see what you guys think?

Utah trades Okur, 3, & the G.S. pick for Rudy Gay.

Then Utah can use 12th pick on Jimmer. Maybe resign Ak for like 5-6 million 3 years with a team option on the 4th year

Harris, Jimmer
Hayward, Bell
Gay,Miles
Millsap, Ak
Jefferson, Favors
 
Good god why would we want a guy who played for a team that got significantly better when he quit playing? Might as well just go get Boozer again.
 
On a more serious note...

Memphis seems to have improved without Gay in the lineup..

So may be we can just offer Okur (expiring), GS picks, and Miles for Gay.

I'm not a huge Gay guy neither, but I'll be happy if we can get Gay for that..

I would rather include this year's #3. I think next year's draft will be stacked.
 
Rudy is a great player but won't be available. Memphis just said they want to keep him. With that being said, I wouldn't offer the 3rd overall pick for Rudy. I would give them 12, Okur and Bell.

Rudy also has a huge contact and has been quite injury prone.

I think that would be an amazing and fair deal okur the gs pick, and miles for gay. Utah could still draft kanter and jimmer
 
Even though he has a max contract I think he is vastly under rated by the league. Is there anything Rudy can't do? He can create, shoot, finish, defend, he has it all. It is a little weird that the Grizzlies played better without him though.
 
Gay is not going anywhere. Memphis invested huge in him and they will certainly give their ballclub a shot with a full season and full playoff run of a fairly strong starting 4 of Gay, Randolph, Gasol, and Conley. I could actually see them going after AK47 if they are unable to retain Shane Battier. The only one they may trade is OJ Mayo because his stock is fairly high after the playoffs and they may need some cap space to keep Gasol. If they would trade Mayo for Bell & the #12, I might consider that. Memphis save about $1.5m and could draft a solid Euro like Donatas who can stay in Europe for a couple years. Utah gets an upgrade and youth over Raja.
 
The best pick the GS first round pick will be 8 (any higher and the Jazz do not get it). If the new CBA requires Freshman to wait two years before entering the draft then the 2012 draft will not be as stacked as everyone thinks. I think Gay is a very good player but I think he is overpaid. I don't want another huge MAX contract. The Jazz are going to have to pay all these young guys someday if they work out.
 
Doesn't make much sense for either team, really. I don't think Gay is in the best interest of the Jazz because of his contract.
