Hinrich-Thomas for Booze?

Jazz would be crazy not to.

Hinrich/Miles/Brewer
Brewer/AK/Harpring
Millsap/Thomas/AK
Okur/Koufos/Fesenko

I like that line-up quite a bit. Could get difficult juggling minutes we had that same problem this year.

Yea I like that lineup too, beefs up our defense very well. While we give up a 20/10 PF, it's not a big deal, because we still have depth at PF in Millsap and Thomas, we have a great option as a back up at PG, more depth at swingman positions, and overall better defense. We'd probably be automatic contenders with this sort of trade.

I really, really like this trade. Hinrich is exactly the type of gritty role player we need. He'd be an exceptional backup for Deron, but, at 6'4'', he could play alongside Deron as well, which would be great since he's a very good outside shooter and a very tough defender who can guard 2 or 3 positions. He's easily better than Fisher. A few years ago, when he was starting, he was putting up something like 16 and 7 as one of the key players on a playoff team.
Tyrus is a little bit more of a wildcard, given that he might not fit in with Sloan, but his athleticism and potential are off the charts. He'd give us the length, athleticism and shotblocking presence we've been lacking up front and, while he's somewhat raw offensively, he could thrive playing with a great passing PG like Deron. As good as Derrick Rose is, he's not really making anybody better at this point in his career.
It would be a shame to lose Boozer's offensive and rebounding presence, but there's a good chance we're losing him anyway, so getting two impact players who could play big minutes, improve our defense and contribute on offense for him would be great. Ideally, after doing so, we'd be able to trade AK for another scorer or two. Maggette and Crawford would work for me, but we'd need to get rid of C.J. to clear the logjam somewhat.
