Sign and trade ideas for Boozer.

It's time to pull your face out of that pie in the sky. There is no way in hell Bosh ends up in SLC.

I know that "small market/big market" struggle. However, I do not think that the teams that will offer him the max money are/ will be better than the Jazz in terms of team success. That's why I give at least a small chance for this move to happen. We also know Bosh and Dwill are close friends. Carlos will not be "priority" of any team that is entering this year's FA market with lots of money to spend. I think he will go anywhere, including Minny, as long as he gets his max money. One should be blind not to figure out this.
 
Michael Beasley. I think his stock has dropped enough for this. I'd also play him at the 3.
 
Boozer to Chicago for either Deng or Heinrich and their 1st. Probably the best we're going to get. Deng is a good replacement for AK after next year. Heinrich is a solid backup to Deron that can also play SG. Both guys are overpaid though, thus we need their 1st rounder to make it fair.
 
Boozer + AK47 + filler for Bosh + Hedo.

I know, I know. Bosh is also a terrible defender but given the fact that he can also carry our offense and is one of the most versatile bigmen in the NBA + we will get rid of AK47's heavy contract, it should be taken into consideration.

Have you seen Hedo's contract?
 
Why does everyone think a sign-and-trade is going to net a great player in return?
Boozer is a good talent, but no one is going to give us an all-star just to give him an extra year.

Besides, Greg is NOT going to take back $10-$15M in salary and have to pay that much in luxury tax. Mark my words, AT BEST, Jazz will get a backup in return and a lottery-protected first-round pick. They will NOT take back significant salary. And Carlos' disappearing act against the Lakers sealed his fate with Utah. Jazz will NOT make a serious effort to keep him. But the liar that Greg is (he of the "I want to make this team better" quote before dumping Maynor and Brewer), will make it seem like he's trying. There will be "conversations" with Pelinka. And then Miller and KOC will put on their long faces and say that despite their efforts, depsite wanting Carlos to remain, Boozer decided to "go in a different direction."
 
Actually I have a 2 team deal that i was thinking about. Utah, NY and GS There are a lot of peices to this puzzle but it all works out

utah trades Boozer, Okur and Price
NY trades Duhon (s and T), Curry
GS trades Maggette, Randolph and Beidrins

NY gets Okur, Price and Randolph. They would do this because they are tired of Curry and Okur would be perfect with Labron on the team. he would pull their center away from teh basket thus creating an open lane for Labron. Randolph is a nice young talen to help build around.

GS does this because they finally have a low post threat that they have not had since webber left. They also dump a lot of long term salaries. Curry will be gone pretty soon. They lock in a long term deal with Boozer and Boozer will get a chance to play in California (lol)

Utah gets Maggette, Beidrins and Duhon. utah does this because Maggetts is a great wing scorer. i do not think he is as selfish as he is made out to be. When his contract ends in 3 years he will only be 33 not that old. he is at the prime of his life. Beidrins contract is only 1 year more then we would be paying Okur. beidrins give us defense and shot blacking okur never could. If the Jazz draft monroe he would finsih out games because beidrins catn hit the broad side of the barn from the charity stripe. Duhon is a throw in but in my opinion is a perfect back up to Williams they would have to be able to sign him for around 2 to 3 million (may not happen) He is a good defender that knows how to run a system.


Utah

Williams, Duhon, Who ever

Maggette, Mathews

AK, Korver or who ever they sign maybe even the second rounder

Milsap, Koufos or Monroe

Beidrins, Monroe hopefully Fesenko

Not a bad team at all.
 
Why the hell would we want Maggette? He is worthless to this team in this system. We just traded a younger cheaper version of Maggette in Brewer because he did not open the floor now were going to pay a ton more for a marginally better player.
 
If we want Maggette, all we have to do is ask. If anyone wants Maggette, all they have to do is ask. No one's asked. And no one will.
 
Monroe is not the answer people! he doesnt block shots and is soft!!! I want Maggette, he is a legit scorer and him and Matthews on the wing would be great.

First issue
Biedrins 9 Mil a year for 4 more years with an ETO
Maggette 9.6 Mil with two more years of increases.

We lose about 1.6 with price about 10 will Memo.

We will pay the Luxury Tax with this.

2nd problem
Biedrins cannot shoot at all. Sub 50% free throw shooter. Cannot make a 10 foot jumper.

3rd problem
We don't have post threat.

4th Problem
We loose all flexibility for the next 3 years.
