Deron/Price
Rip/Brewer
Korver/Harpring
Sheed/Millsap
Okur/Collins

Alright before you guys go crazy and say I'm nuts, I believe that with Boozer and AK47 your not going to win a championship with teams like Portland, NO, Lakers in the west...so there might be something drastic like this that will make the Jazz from a solid team to a championship team.

Damn near all the starting line up can shoot the three...just a suggestion for the Jazz to win the championship next year....atleast in my eyes.

Jazz > Porltland and New Orleans...The Hornets are being talked about like they have a better future then the Jazz when they let alone can't even beat the Jazz. And I'd love this trade but it wont happen and the starting like up would be.

Deron
Rip
Miles
Sheed
Okur

I love Sheed, but he's dropping off sharply, and he's just getting crazier.

He would be great to get as a back up in a few years, but right now he's caught between being a declining starter and a great back up guy.

Rip at SG would be cool but I shudder a bit to think of Rasheed replacing Boozer as the in-the-paint back-to-the-basket part of the offense. His skills are on the decline and his contract would be up next year. Then what? Hope Millsap is a consistent 20/10 guy by then?

Sheed is one of the best back to the basket players in the league.

Whether or not that is true I couldn't say. But what I'm looking at is production. Boozer is a legitimate 20/10 guy--averaging this for the past 2 seasons (and hitting over 10 rebounds a game for the 3rd time in his 6 year career).

By comparison, Rasheed has NEVER in his 13 year career averaged either 20 points or 10 rebounds let alone both. His numbers this past year were 12.7/6.6.

And admittedly I am not completely objective because I've never been a fan of Rasheed--even though he is a good player.

Rasheed and Sloan would not get along so this won't happen. Anyways I personally would rather have Boozer then Sheed.

I agree 100%, sheed is great in the post, when he feels like it. I used to go to blazer games and watch sheed a lot, the guy COULD have been a HOF with his skills. I remember one game he seemed somewhat motivated and DESTROYED malone on the block, then the next game became disinterested and did nothing. He'd dominate in the post, then without reason, stop posting up and start jacking 3pts, it was almost like he got bored to scoring in the post and just wanted something more challenging. That has been the enigma of sheed; at any rate, there is no way this trade happens as the jazz shoot it down immediately.
