"Toxic brand"?

[Gyp Rosetti]

That's like asking Boozer and AK to both stay healthy for 82 games.

 

[Rimcheck]

I would totally do this. We need a scoring 2 that can create for himself. We have never had someone at that position that could do that. I think Turner could be that guy. Matthews and Turner at the 2 = sweetness.

and i think there is no way Sap starts over Brand if this was actually going to happen!

It isn't 2005 anymore. Sap is easily better than Brand.

Taking a lot of great chances here to land some great players. We are not going to win it all with what we have so this is a move that is a great risk for the jazz. You loose some payroll gang back someone back in brand that might work great into this system as well as get a great pic and the 9th pick. This gives us more to work with in moving other people like okur as well. You can get better as well as freeing up space. I like this trade a lot.

 

[Captain Keefe]

If we could keep the #9 that would seal the deal for me. I really think Brand has some left in the tank.

AK straight up for Brand works on the ESPN Trade Machine. I'm not saying that's a good deal, just an fyi

 

[nateboz]

Brand hasn't been good for 3 years. What makes any of you think just by him coming to Utah that's going to change??

 

[BaronDavisIsDonkeyOnShrek]

AK/Okur for Brand/Dalembert also works on ESPN Trade Machine

 

[Wolverine Newby]

I would take that deal. #2 and #9. Brand would play as back up to Milsap. You got to Risk big to Win Big. If it failed at least they tried. But if it worked out it would be awesome. I am tired of the Jazz always taking the conservative route. Take a chance on that deal!

I would only do it if the plan was to take Favors and trade Millsap. And I love Millsap, but Favors is going to be special. Slot him behind Brand to start off, let him learn, and draft BPA at 9. Evan Turner is not worth the 2nd pick.

 

[Mambo]

Brand is more injury prone than Boozer.

I am really warming up to Favors. From what I've seen of him, he reminds me of Elden Campbell. Tall, long, pretty strong. But with more athleticism and more of an upside given his age.
