Could there be a trade in the works?

Who knows? The Jazz and KOC are definitely the smoke screen type.

A bold move would not surprise me, but neither would staying pat.

I like KOC, but remeber he is just like Jerry, and just like LHM & family, and just like Utah. Only made a bold move when they felt panicked.

The question is do the Jazz feel panicked? Okur injured, boozer leaving, D-Will upset, Korver & Mathews FA.....
 
I think it is much more likely we try to pick up another midrange 1st round. A couple of teams have 3 picks. We need to rebuild our depth some.
 
Sources: Bulls to free up cap space

The Chicago Bulls have a deal in place that would move Kirk Hinrich and the 17th pick to the Washington Wizards, freeing up enough cap space to pursue two maximum-salary players in this summer's free-agent market, sources with knowledge of the Bulls' plans said Thursday.

It wasn't immediately clear what Washington would send to Chicago in the trade.

The deal can't be officially consummated until July 8, when the Wizards will have room under the salary cap to absorb Hinrich's $9 million contract without having to send back anything of similar value.

Since it's a good-faith deal for the time being, there remains a chance it could fall apart. But according to one source, the Sacramento Kings are prepared to make a similar deal with the Bulls in the Wizards' stead if that were to happen.

Either way, moving Hinrich and the pick would push Chicago's space under the cap from $20 million to more than $30 million. That puts the Bulls on equal footing with the Miami Heat in pursuing not just one but two members of a free-agent class that is expected to include LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Carlos Boozer, Amare Stoudemire and Joe Johnson.

I think being in the lottery is cause for "panic". It doesn't happen often for the Jazz and, as I stated above, they rely heavily on the draft because solid free agents are a tough buy.

I know the statement I made above about not being surprised by either move sounds safe and ubiquitous, but the FO has been conservative when it comes to trades recently. An aggressive trade here would be shocking, but not surprising. At least to me.
 
We're the Jazz we won't be aggresive and will settle for the minimum and won't trade up. Are second biggest trade the last like 6 years was Korver for Gordan Giricek; thats sad

Because obviously making more trades gurantee's more wins.
 
Would people stop with that. It doesn't give you auto wins but it would be nice to see the front office at least be aggressive. Do you know how many offers we have had for Booz over the last 3 years and passed. What about the AK for T mac deal. We would have had 23 mil off the books right now if we did that. 2 years ago there was a Booz for Odom offer. Then there was the Booz for Salmons and Booz for Artest. Would have been nice to get something for Booz
