Who gets dumped before the trade deadline?

The Jazz are in the luxury tax and will essentially be paying Raja Bell's salary twice unless they dump salary before the deadline. I have to say Okur is the odd man out even though I will be fascinated to see how he does with Big Al.
 
Okur or AK. I'd prefer Memo get shipped out as AK is younger and is still a special talent that showed flashes of his old self last year. The only problem would be the possibility of losing AK for nothing next summer.
 
OKur isn't going anywhere imo. That would leave us with Fes. LOL C'mon people. I know some of you don't like KOC but he ain't that stupid.
 
None. No one will want our ****** salaries and it makes no sense to dump anyone else.

I'll add that Millsap, at his cheaper PT is the only guy who makes sense. And if we decide to play AJ at the 4, perhaps a Millsap for Perkins or similarly defensive-oriented 5 who's expiring could happpen?

But I'll stick with none.
 
Its AK if anyone gets shipped out. I think Greg realizes though that this is the last year of playing the tax, so we'll pay it.
 
Lets see how we do. The West got substantially weaker. I think we'll be top 4 by the deadline. If that's the case, rolling the dice on a longer playoff run "pays" the tax.

But there are only two guys who might get dealt for tax reasons--AK and Okur. Ironically, AK will likely be more valuable in trade, while Okur will be more valuable in a 'dump.' Too many variable, and too far out to say how those dominoes will fall.
 
It's gotta be AK. KOC mentioned last night that they have now solidified the front court 3 with AJ, Sap, and Memo.
