Chris Broussard on ESPN 2 says he could be moved and said the Jazz as a great fit. Would you want Rip and who would you give up?

Memo for Rip works straight up, and is fair to both sides. They need a big man, and we need guards.

Hamilton is on a horrible contract and will produce much like Bell would. Better offensively, worse defensively.
Terrible idea to get Hamilton.

If we traded for rip, we could then trade AK for a big man to replace memo.

Hamilton makes 12.5 this year, 12.65 in 11/12, 12.65 in 12/13 (9 million guaranteed.) He'll be 33 in 2 weeks. If the Jazz are really desperate, they'll move AK for Rip and get TMac thrown in. That saves in the neighborhood of 8 with the tax included. Then the spin is Hamilton starts next to CJ, TMac becomes the new leader of the 2nd unit, Bell still plays over Haywood who gets mothballed. I would hate this move, but I'm so desperate to get Bell's minutes cut I'd almost accept it. Of course, knowing Jerry he'd start Bell and Rip.

Simple question to the author of this thread.... Have you looked at Rip's contract?

If you go Rip, Tmac, and filler you can make it work for AK. I doubt pistons go for it even though Hollinger predicts pistons gain 1 win and Jazz lose 1. Jazz can save 2+mil in salary and another 2+ in luxury tax. I doubt the Pistons would bite though. I think a straight up Okur/Rip would be a great trade for everyone. We get a SG and the pistons get a center to help out Ben Wallace. Then as Stern has already said we could then try to move AK for a Center plus cap relief.
I would much prefer we did something like this as opposed to last year when we just started giving players away. (Brewer & Maynor)

Jazz fans tend to obsess over players that used to be good or have at one point in their careers, burned us.
Corey Maggette, Jeff Foster, and Rip Hamilton are usually the targets.
Unfortunately, the Jazz fans that are making these outrageous trade ideas haven't paid attention to the league.
Rip Hamilton the last two years has been shooting like crap. Worse than his rookie year. The reason? Mileage. He's 33 and has played a lot of minutes.
Jazz fans should look up the stats. He and Raja are shooting nearly identically in every aspect.
If we're not happy w/Raja's shooting, then why the hell will we be happy paying big time money for years and years to shoot the way that Raja's shooting?
