Id like to here opinions from Jazz fans about a trade scenario. I have heard Boozer being possibly available since he didn't opt out. He is probably gonna bolt next year so you guys could save some money if you traded Boozer and have enough to keep Milsap.

Cle gets
Boozer

Utah gets
Ilgauskas

That is the first scenario I wonder if you guys would do with Z expiring you can just buy him out now here is a second trade scenario in case getting rid of Booze isn't enough and you also need to through in Kirilenkos contract and save big time money.

Cle gets
Boozer
Kirilenko

Utah gets
Z(buy out expiring)
Varejao(Sign and trade)
JJ Hickson(young prospect) and/or 1st round pick

That seems beneficial to both teams. Cavs get a PF(that will probably leave next year in 2010 anyway but it fills the scoring PF need). Jazz save a ton of money and get rid of Booz and Kirilenko which I thnk they are both shopping and they have enough money to keep Milsap to replace Boozer(and I don't think the loss of Kirlenko is too devestating to too many Jazz fans).

I wouldn't take anyone from Cleveland...

Unless you guys are offering LeBron of course.

You wouldn't take money and a good chance of keeping Milsap before Boozer leaves anyway.

No thanks. People just don't seem to get the fact that the Jazz can get Millsap without losing Boozer in a trade. We don't want crap players just to dump Boozers/AK's contract.

Especially with it seeming less and less likely that Millsap will get a huge offer from somewhere, there's no need to dump Boozer for a player who can't help the team.

What if Cleveland swung a side deal with OKC where you guys trade Boozer to Cleveland and in return you don't take back ANY salary and get a future 1st from Cleveland and a future 2nd from OKC?

I think you guys overestimate the value of Boozer. Alot of teams are gonna be scared off because Boozer will bolt in 2010 free agency so packaging him with Kirilenko is probably the best thing you can do right now. More than likely it is gonna scare the Cavs off too since they have already seen what happens but I would think Boozer will more likely be traded to a good team that has a chance to win than a bad team because Boozer will leave for sure on a bad team.

That's ok because he IS that valuable to us, if he's not for other teams then we wont trade him. Simple as that. We aren't just going to give him away, he is a two time all star PF that can give you 20-10 every night. Injury prone and lack of defense decreases his value but there are not very many PF's that play defense or stay injury free that give you 20-10 either.

So you would rather have him leave next year than to ship him away with Kiriliko and get his money too.

Yes. Exactly. Unless we get something valuable in return, there's no need to trade Boozer. AK's expiring next year can also be a great trade asset. At this time, it's just negative value. If Millsap gets a substantial offer, then we can think about trading Boozer and AK, or both. Right now, there's no need to do it, unless we're improving the team.

Cavs fans are the worst; they're always offering **** trades. No, you only have one great, and two decent players on your team. Everyone else sucks.

The rumor is that Utah wants to trade Boozer and AK47.

Any idea what they are asking for?

Ilgauskas is useless...
He is a very bad defender...
We have Okur....
And Okur is better than Ilgauskas..
