Boozer/AK for Dalembert/Iguodala

I don't believe that the Jazz are daft enough to burn a bridge and limit their options, and call up Boozer and say "you're not in our long term plans." That's like quiting a job before you have another one lined up. No one does that!

However; if there is any truth to, then this seems like both a senseable and an achievable trade.

Dalembert is worthless.

God please no. I think I'd rather trade Boozer for a new jumbotron.

AK isnt exactly the best value going himself nowadays.

AK may have a resurgence as the new backup power forward.

But we get Iggy in the process.

There is no way Philly does this. This would be a huge steal for the Jazz.

Looks like the "Utah gets screwed" wins by one vote over the "Philly gets screwed". I'm a little suprised that therewere no middle grounders. Personally I think that it is viable because Philly is trying everything they can to get rid of Dalembert.

"Utah gets screwed"

I was however being sarcastic. AK is pretty much useless and Boozer can't play defense. Meanwhile, Dalembert is a premier shot changer and a great rebounder, while Iguodala is a top 7 or 8 SG in the NBA.

I don't see why Philly would do this. They'd have AK, Booze, Brand, and Thadeus Young all of which excel at the 4. Actually I'm not sure about Young but it makes a mess of their frontcourt and they lose Igoudala.

Iggy is their star player ( who's not injured nor wants to leave philly ) They got rid of Iverson to give the team to Iggy teamed up with Brand.

Dalembert was considered premier when they signed him to a big contract. And it can be argued that he has gone down hill because of 1) laziness, 2) Brand stole his thunder, or 3) the coach is being prejudicial towards him. Regardless, if he truly were a "premeir shot changer", he would be getting more than 22 minutes, in Phillys solid performance in the first round.

Some other issues which appear to have ended his stay in philly:

1) Maturity issues,
2) Unable to control his mouth (see issue one),
3) He apoparetnly is incapable of passing the ball to anyone else onthe entire team once he gets the ball down low.

That being said, I think that

1) He is a complement/opposite to Okur, and
2) He may grow up given a new environment

Honestly this trade would never happen in a thousand years. Iggy is basically the Sixers franchise player. It's nice to dream though.
