Vinylone still desperately tries to get with his cousins.
Jazz tried desperately to trade up to get Cousins

Archie makes me a Gordon Hayward signature that says G-Time on it somewhere.
Darkwing is right about a true S&T not being legal because Boozer couldn't legally negotiate with New Jersey until July 1. This is why you can discount just about any proposed draft pick trade that involves a S&T.
The only legal way to do this on draft day was if Boozer would accept an extension from the Jazz, then be traded, but that would require him to take less money than he probably thinks he can make.

I don't have time right now or I would.
So I guess they didn't want AK. Shocking how Jazz fans overrate the expiring of AK. Besides the Jazz probably veto moving AK. I would be pissed if they passed a chance to get Cousins simply because they wanted to hold onto AK. Who knows? I certainly would like more details. How bad is Harris and Yi contracts?

Harris 3 yrs. ~27 million
Yi 1 yr. 4 million.
Yi 1 yr. 4 million.
Harris destroyed D Will and the Jazz. I would go nuts for a Harris and D Will back court. As for Yi, he averaged 14 10 and 2 blocks the last month. He had like 6 or more games were he scored 20 or more and 6 games with 12 or more rebounds. At the worst, he would give us length, athleticism and some blocking. He was injured last year twice but really blossomed at times last year

I'll bet they tried to send us Tony Battie... They do have some dead weight on that roster!

Battie's contract is expired. Only Harris, Yi, Lopez, Lee and Williams and soon Favors are under contract next year. There are some option years.
ESPN sucks. Ignore the salary stuff. Look at Utah's roster.

The Jazz or any team for that matter would give up Millsap in a NY minute to move up in the draft but no GM in the league would do that. We really had no assets to use in a trade of that impact.
It's really a tough trade for the Jazz to make because they are trying to bridge the gap between #3 and #9, but the more value they give, the more NJ has to take back from a salary perspective.
For example, Millsap for Keyon Dooling and Kris Humphries works, but is Millsap enough that NJ would give up 6 spots in the draft? Probably not. So try AK, but then NJ has no choice but to send Devin Harris along with Dooling and Humphries. Let's just say they think AK is valuable enough to make up for dropping 6 spots, but then they also gave up Harris and they want to be compensated for him as well.
I just don't see a trade that makes sense there, no matter how hard the Jazz and Nets try. Maybe if the Nets had more dead weight on their roster it could have worked out.

If they have the cap room, why would Utah have to take anything back? That said, why do you feel Boozer for Favors wouldn't work? I just don't see Lebron signing there unless they make their situation more attractive. This trade helps that cause greatly. Lopez, Boozer, Harris, the NY market. And if they miss out on him, no biggie, they go after Carmello next summer. he was born and raised ('til 8) in Brooklyn.
