Jazz/Wizards/Bobcats Trade
Posted: Sat Jan 9, 2010 9:20 am
Boozer and Diop to the Wizards
Korver and Jamison to the Bobcats
Haywood and Gerald Wallace to the Jazz
Hollinger's analysis says it will result in -5 wins for the Wizards, -1 win for the Bobcats, and +3 wins for the Jazz. We also get rid of 17.4M and only take back 15.5M.
As for getting Haywood and Wallace, it does ditch our own expiring contracts, but it gives us a legit, shot-blocking center (currently second in the league in blocked shots per game), and a hustling forward (currently 41st in the league in blocked shots (behind Millsap, but ahead of everyone else on the Jazz), 3rd in the league in rebounds, and 30th in the league in points per game (Boozer is 19th)).
More moves we could make, in conjunction with this trade, to get under the salary cap:
If we included sending Koufos to the 'Cats, which also works, we'd be sending off about 18.2M. So we'd shave off 2.7M and be only be 2.16M over the cap. We could then send Ronnie Brewer (whom I like) to a team with a trade exception. We could even pay that team the remainder of this year's salary. Taking his 2.7M off the books gets us under the cap (saving us from paying the lux tax penalty), and, (as I read from Hollinger today) would qualify us for the 4M or so in league distributions.
Eventually, though, if we send out 4 guys and only get 2 in return, we'd have to pick up two more guys, Sundiata Gaines style. And after trading RB, it looks like we may only 500K to work with. I don't know if that'd be enough, even by going with as many 10 day contracts as possible and then paying the league minimum for the remaining portion of the year. I'd be in favor of trading CJ at 3.7M instead of Brewer, but I'm not convinced other teams would be as interested in either his contract or his ability.

No thanks.
