Jazz get TPE for Boozer

Come on KOC lets go SHOPPING!!!!


AL Jefferson, Biedreins, S&T Lee, Josh SMith something, anything.
Use Harps to get Beasley, Marvin Williams, Carl Landry someone, anyone.

I know I 've criticized you in the past KOC. I was at the ESA booing on draft night, I HATED trading away Maynor. But I'm willing to forgive, and in some cases admit I was wrong. The Hayward pick is growing on me, and I'm hoping I eat crow on that. The one thing I have to admit about you is when your back has been against a wall you have done a very good job. So please step up again, do it now.
 
Don't blame KOC. Boozer wanted to sign with Chicago. KOC had no options. Carlos is an UFA. Obviously, Chicago had nothing Utah wanted. So the only option is to get a TPE. Might be useful at some point, might not, but at least it's in the Jazz' back pocket - just in case.

As for Boozer, maybe Chicago gies him 5 years, with the 6th being a team option. That's what I'd do if I were the Bulls. If he's still a 20/10 guy at age 34, then pay him the money. If not, cut bait.

We would have to think about this logically: Who are we going to obtain? A TPE of that size could only be used for a team trying to unload someone they don't want. If the other team doesn't like their salary, what are the odds we would? Let's talk names.

...or a team in financial trouble looking to dump some salary.

Teams failing financially, and clearing space.
From the looks of the teams with the worst attendance records/ which teams I know aren't doing so hot in the pocket.

David West
Andre Igoudala
Marc Gasol
Zach Randolph
Elton Brand
Al Jefferson
Kevin Love
Gilbert Arenas
Troy Murphy
Gerald Wallace
Stephen Jackson

This scenario probably wouldn't happen until the season next year, but lot's of teams have made financially motivated trades over the past few years...the Jazz, Nuggets, Hornets, etc. I can't say I can name any names or teams off the top of my head though.
 
only Arenas and Brand could be traded. Other teams\player are not on the trading block. I guess. But we don't need those two
 
Joker, much appreciated.

David West - I don't know much about his contract, but it seems NO has tried to do some horrid deals recently that fell through. Would we prefer West over Millsap?
Andre Igoudala - Pretty sure this is a contract the Jazz don't want. If we wanted him, he'd likely be had for Andrei.
Marc Gasol - I guess it's possible Memphis deals away talent again, but who knows.
Zach Randolph - They don't want him.
Elton Brand - If they wanted him they could have him without the exception.
Al Jefferson - Don't think they'd take him.
Kevin Love - They'd probably take this guy. Would he be available for nothing?
Gilbert Arenas - Doubtful.
Troy Murphy - I'd personally take him, the Jazz wouldn't.
Gerald Wallace - No idea.
Stephen Jackson - Doubt it.

These are just my opinions.
 
I guarantee you there WILL be teams needing significant financial relief (especially with all these awful contracts being singed) and Utah WILL be the only team with a TE large enough to provide it for them.

Thanks for the list, Joker. I was in the middle of researching that myself. I would love Gasol, Jefferson, or Love. Murphy, Wallace, and Iggy, and West would be solid to great pickups as well.
