Just wondering, it seems Boozer probably won't re-sign. Plus you do have Paul Millsap & Andrei Kirilenko (who Stan Van Gundy said could play PF, his true position?).

Would you consider this trade:

Luol Deng
Future 1st (Bobcats or Bulls, your choice)
Future 2nd (Wizards)
for
Carlos Boozer

Jazz Potential Lineup:
Deron Williams - Price
CJ Miles - W. Matthews*
Deng - Hayward
Kirilenko - Millsap
Okur - Koufos

So you would get a solid 17PPG, 7RPG, 2APG SF in Deng. Hayward can play behind him. This would be much better if you woulda took a SG with your pick. Jazz also pick up 2 future picks.

The Jazz just drafted a small forward (Hayward) plus we have AK, so at this point a trade involving Deng for Boozer makes zero sense.

Bulls would do it to get a free agent along with Lebron only if Bosh signs with someone else.

The Jazz might be too cheap to do this trade but it is better than losing him for nothing.

The Jazz currently have these problems:

1. Length (as a corollary, interior Defense)
2. Luxury Tax concerns

Deng doesn't actually help solve anything. And, it just compounds the wings, AGAIN. If the argument is that it's better to get something in return, I'd rather have picks than Deng.

Then again, if its a prelude to another trade for a big, then I think it's all good.

WTF, these days, I don't know what I want anymore.

If you are the Jazz, and you have a GM who is creative, you do this as a 3 way. You send him to LAC and take an extra pick from them, as well as pick up the picks from Chicago or Charlotte.
