possible locations for Jefferson. Also, when is he dealt?

Andre Miller for Devin Harris would make a lot of sense!

Ok, here's the awesomest thing I could drum up:

Utah trades: Jefferson + NJ second-rounder
Utah receives: Dalembert + Jarrett Jack

Houston trades: Dalembert + Martin
Houston receives: Jefferson + Ariza + NJ second-rounder

NO trades: Jack
NO receives: Martin


Dalembert has a team option for next year. So, he could be brought back for $6.7 million, or let go for cap space. Houston does this to solidify paint scoring... which would help them. They let Martin go for Ariza because they have virtually no productive SFs and Courtney Lee and Dragic can play SG/combo guard.

It's pretty clear that NO comes out pretty well talent-wise.

Utah gets a PG + frees up cap space next year.

I like this a lot. I'm not totally sure why NO would do it, though (unless they plan on just letting Gordon walk).

Jazz wind up with 4 PGs. Another trade needs to be made to get rid of Harris.

The Jazz can cross that bridge when they come to it. As it stands, the Jazz don't have a single starter-quality PG on the roster (as much as I love Watson and as good as Tinsley's been in limited action even though he can't guard a chair) and Harris is a net-negative "asset" already.
