I am pretty sure the Magic will be able to get better deals.

On the other hand Reddick would really thrive in our offense. And he contract is high but not crazy.

But Okur is literally the only player we have that we could possibly trade for Reddick.

I don't disagree, but the one advantage to dealing with the Magic is they are clearly less interested in value than need. If they felt they needed Okur more than Reddick, and they easily could, Otis Smith will deal.
 
KOC has stated over and over that he would not likely trade a big man for a small player. Anyway, Memo's contract may be more valuable as an expiring next season.
 
Now I like Reddick... he's moved but since his rookie year to get playing time. Worked very hard, and that's awesome.

But did you see his contract? 7/6.5/6 in the coming years. Are we sure he's THAT good? Remember, we're not even paying Miles that much.

It makes sense financially. In a straight Okur swap, the Jazz decrease their overhead by almost 6 million including the tax. Next season, with tension about a new CBA, they drop almost 5 million off the payroll. And in year 3, a 6 million dollar Redick is relatively cheap and tradeable. As a basketball decision it's more questionable. The one advantage is it buys a player in the window of his prime allowing for a relaxed development curve with Honzward. I could see KOC thinking that Bell/Redick/CJ/Hayward signed to reasonable deals being the better alternative to uncertainty with AK and/or having to sign and FA to fill the spot.
 
Sorry about the spelling redick. There is only one player on the list that is mentioned that is putting up any kind of numbers and that is Mohamed. I Would take fes over diop and the injured foster or pryzbilla (who injured himself taking a shower). The addition of Hayward is what makes it more appealing to Orlando. The okur trade is interesting we would have to take another contract back
 
Okur is a starting caliber C with an all-star appearance. Even though coming off a serious injury, Jazz must get more than Redick for him, I would think.
 
Why does it seem like we focus on about 3-4 players (usually white guys too) for years and years and years? Jeff Foster, Chris Kaman, Rip Hamilton, and now JJ Redick have been our saviors for the better part of the past decade it seems. Never mind the players that actually improve our team. Lets just focus on the same guys who usually have really bad contracts too.

JJ isn't very good. Nor does he put us over the top. He's also a complete and utter defensive liability (we already have enough of those with Memo, CJ, AK, and Jefferson). Didn't we see enough of a one dimensional white defensive player in Korver? Do we really need to have another bad movie? Korver II?

Lets move on, I'm almost pleading for some of you. Stop with these worthless trade threads that trade our crap for other teams crap (Reddick, Hamilton, Darko, Gortat, Jeff Foster, Maggette, etc).

Even though I'm not one of the posters you are referring to, I'll agree to your pleads to stop. But, in exchange, you have to agree to start reading threads and watching basketball games. Deal?

JJ > Korver
(all around game)

Memo for JJ makes a fair amount of sense... at least enough to discuss on a message board.
