The Jazz should consider making a big move with Miami. Then including Memphis and OKC in a four team trade. Thoughts?

Utah makes out great on this trade because the get Beasley and Cook for Boozer, Harpring, Korver and Cash. This is an excellent value for Utah since they receive enough financial relieve to get below the luxury tax.

Miami does well here because they get Boozer, Korver, a Pick and Cash for basically a good prospect in Beasley and a bench/role player in Cook. They can also get financial releif from Harpring considering he retires and Miami opts out on paying Harpring his contract.

Memphis gets a decent combo forward in James Jones along with cash without giving up anyone on their roster.

OKC has their roster pretty much set so taking on Blount's last year doesn't hurt them at all financially, especially since (I believe) Blount's contract is mostly paid for by insurance and it expires in 2010. They also get a pick and some cash for their troubles.

This trade works for everyone since they all get a little bit of something for what they need. The Jazz and Heat sacrifice a little bit on both sides, but still make out with some great talent for their teams. While OKC and Memphis do very little and still get something good for their efforts.

Good reasonable trade. I think Miami only does it they get Odom making them a championship contender with Boozer and Korver as additions. If they dont get Odom, I think their interest in Boozer is little if they have to give up Beasly.

As a side note, Im not a huge Beasily fan at all. I think he is going to be a good player but far from an allstar player. I prefer Thomas and Smith which is latest Bulls/Jazz/Nugget rumor.

In any case, good trade for Jazz and Heat may do it if they get Odom as a free agent.

Blount is healthy and there is no insurance issue to discuss. Have no idea what the heck you are talking about. The whole thing is inconceivable ... to put it politely.

Miami don't trade Beasley...

Blount played 20 games for Miami last season, but I don't know if his contract is insured for this season. If it isn't, then there's this trade makes no sense for Oklahoma City.

No Beasley from Miami.

Miami laughs at this trade.

The Jazz laugh at this trade. Picks, Korver, Boozer, and Harpring? No thanks...
