Ike Diogu, a good offence player and rebounder to replace Boozer but no defence.
Amir Johnson, shots a very high percanage and decent rebounder.
Richard Hendrix, played great in Euro League and a MIlsap type player.

The Jazz play Milsap , Kirilenko and one of these guys could replace Boozer .
The jazz then might go for a center like Jemaine O'neil or Brandon Haywood in free agency

no
maybe
no

Amir is the only one i would consider and thats a long shot, if we are going the free agent route get a drew gooden or something.

Not a fan of any of those guys. Don't see how any of them would improve the team.

I wouldn't mind seeing Craig Smith here in Utah to backup Millsap.

I would prefer a taller PF rather the the shorter ones mentioned.

I agree. And no thanks to Gooden, too. The guy is productive and deserves credit for that, but he has terrible "basketball IQ" and Sloan would annihilate him.

Amir is a decent shot blocker though. I think he'd be a very nice backup to Milsap.

The Jazz may be able to get a guy like Chris Wilcox with some of the TPE from the Harpring trade. I would definitely be interested in him as a back up PF capable of playing 20 minutes a night. He could also start at C if needed.

Only makes 3 million a year.

How about Brad Miller?

He's going to be expensive imo.

Not sure this is the place to post this, but I rather not start a new thread. I read that the Bulls are trying to dump James Johnson to be able to offer two max contracts. I know the Jazz were interested in him in last year's draft. As a 4/3 he really would create a log jam, but if we plan on moving AK he would be a nice prospect to give a shot to.

I'll take my chances on Earl Barron, then.

He would be a very nice player to have.

Amir Johnson would be a very solid addition. Considering that Toronto's focus will be on Bosh in the first days of free agency and that they have drafted Ed Davis, I think Amir is a viable free agent target for Utah.

Amir Johsnon is a interesting player, he's been in the league a while but he's still young, i could see him having a breakthrough season in the next year or two.

I wanted the jazz to draft Richard Hendrix back in the 08 draft(he was taken a couple picks ahead of us). He's been often compared to Paul Millsap as being a 2nd round steal. Undersized PF but has a 7 ft 3 wingspan.

Long list of intriguing free agents to fill the roster:
PG Duhon House Pargo Watson A.Daniels
SG Carney D.Brown Murray Head Stackhouse Rush Hughes Bogans R.Mason
SF Graham Pavlovic D.George R.Butler Morrison Udoka
PF Scalabrine Oberto Gooden Powell Amundson K.Thomas Diogu
C Sh.Williams Elson Nesterovic O'Bryant Gray K.Brown Ratliff J.Anthony Magloire Petro E.Thomas Skinner Mbenga May Hunter

That big man list is pretty sad.... lol

He may not be really low cost, but I'd love to see the Jazz go after Udonis Haslem if Boozer leaves. He'd be a nice backup for Millsap and could probably get 30 mpg depending on the matchup.
