Finally, the only thing standing between the Jazz and championship glory is gone! A string of Jazz NBA championships is sure to follow.

Millsap will do just as good as Boozer on O..and will draw more fouls...book it!

I hope Millsap's foul rate goes down so he can stay on the court for 40 min a night.

For a S&T, you have to have a willing team on the other side--plus a willing player (Lee). Tough to do.

We were retarded when we gave AK that big deal. If we didn't have AK in the books then he would have been signed. The FO should have seen this coming. Also if we signed Boozer, we probably would not have much left to give Dwill that huge extension.
KFAN just reported we just secured a S&T with CHI for a TPE.

MAITLAND, Fla. — The Jazz have reached a sign-and-trade agreement with the Chicago Bulls that will net Utah a valuable traded player exception.
The Jazz will send a protected future second-round draft choice to Chicago, which on Wednesday agreed to terms on a five-year contract with unrestricted free agent Carlos Boozer believed to be valued in the $75-to-80 million. In return, Utah gets the traded player exception, or TPE.
The TPE allows the Jazz to acquire one or more players via trade with any other team any time over the next year even if their acquisition leaves Utah over the NBA's team payroll salary cap of $58.044 million, as long as their salary or combined salaries do not exceed the total of the amount of money Boozer will make in his first year with the Bulls plus $100,000.
That first-salary figure for Boozer is expected to be in the $13 million range.
The Jazz will technically sign Boozer to his contract, then trade him and the pick to the Bulls for the exception — essentially a paperwork transaction.
It was not immediately known what the protection is on the second-round draft choice.

Give O'Connor credit. He managed a no-win into a win.

That's what I'm thinking. No guarantee the Jazz can or will use all these assets. The Harpring TPE expires before the deadline so we'd need to find a partner early. Now, with AKs expiring and the Boozer's TPE available, we have some decent assets to work with if non-contenders decide to dump good vets.
KOC did the best he could. And this was probably the plan all along after Carlos opted in last season. There were no decent trade options for Carlos last year, so they let Boozer choose a new team this summer and then KOC negotiated a TPE.
