[As a Blazers fan, with friends who know people connected to the organization, I can confidently say that Batum and Rudy are the two least likely traded guys not named Roy, Aldridge, and Oden. Bayless is just after that.]

Any trade, therefore, from the Blazers side would more likely involve players like Outlaw and Webster. Would either of these two (along with additional compensation) get it done from the Jazz side of it? [No insult intended if it is taken this way.] Obviously, Boozer is worth more than either one of them. Together, the reduction of tax isn't optimal.

[The Blazers could make additional room via Euro renouncing. The Blazers would likely then flip Boozer themselves. It is obvious, as well, that the Jazz could simply match Millsap and wait for a better offer.]
I would take do some sort of deal for Outlaw and possibly Webster too in a second. I don't know how the numbers would work out to get a deal done but I like that idea.
