to lazy cut and pasting

too lazy to sroll down an inch?

Meh, I think both teams stay put on this. Phoenix need the rebounds and I think Utah needs Harprings shooting. Utah does the deal though, Phoenix probably stays put.

Yeah, this was more plausible in the offseason when both players were unhappy...right now I think each team is happier with the guys they have, role-wise.

There's no reason for the Jazz to move AK to the Suns (where he would thrive) unless they have to. Especially with Marion's ability to opt out at season's end.

No thanks from the Jazz for a couple of reasons:

1. Banks contract for the value provided is worse than both Harpring's and AK's. I don't know his character well, but something just says he's not a good fit on a Jerry Sloan team. If his contract makes it tricky to re-sign Deron or Millsap or Brewer, he's a terrible fit.

2. If Marion bails after this year, which is he probably very likely to do, the Jazz can watch the Suns beat them out in the conference standings and into the western conference finals for the next few years.

I would have said probably to this deal in the summertime, as it stands now (esp. since AK has learned how to shoot these past several weeks) I see a lot more risk than return for the Jazz.
