Warriors/ Utah deal

I'm sure this one has been floated, but I thought I'd get some feed back from you guys.

Maggette 9mil, Speedy (5mil expiring, could be waived...money saver), Wright (2mil, young talent with high ceiling) for Kirilenko.

I know swallowing Maggette is tough for some, but the guy found a nice nitch as a sixth man last year. also realizes that 30 minutes a game is better for him long term. The guy is instant offense off the bench and can dominate the 2nd teams around the league. He was resistant to coming off the bench for Dunleavy, but flourished in that role under Nelson.

Speedy gives you guys some much need cap relief and there's a chance that if not medically fit to play, it will be an even better money savings than the 5.2 million dollar expiring.

I hate to give up Wright in this deal, but it allows Utah a long term high ceiling player to back-up Milsap once Boozer walks or is traded at the deadline. I really get the feeling that Boozer will bolt at the first opportunity and Wright could be a really nice player.

In games where he played 20+ minutes he averaged 14 pts and 6 rebounds. The kid is smart on the floor and showed that he could start. If not for our ever loving smallball coach, the kid would be a no brainer keeper.

The Jazz would likely do it but GSW probably wouldnt but I do think AK-47 would fit with GSW extremely well. In the end, it is likely good trade for both teams as Maggette fits Sloan's antiquated offense and AK-47 fits Nelson's offense, but I think teams are too scared to take on AK-47's over-blown contract for 2 years.

maybe theres a deal in place that involves Claxton's 5mil expiring that cant be traded until the 25th of August...

Where do I sign?

Yeah Speedy can't be traded until next Tuesday at the earliest.

The Warriors have made some head scratching moves this summer, but were expecting something rather large to go down. Even Kelenna Azubuike said the other day that he was surprised something significant hadn't happened.

We shall see next week or sometime shortly after that.

Do you guys feel that the Jazz are in need of making a move to free some salary before the season starts?

No, the front office has said NOTHING about the financial state of the franchise, the only people talking about the cap is people who know nothing about it

the front office doesn't need to say anything about the financial state of the franchise, because it is public information and knowledge already. Everyone but Mr. Johnson knows that the Jazz will be dumping salary at the earliest and best opportunity.

Shamsports has you guys at almost 82 million in salary for this year. Ouch!

The Warriors deal doesn't save you a ton, but every bit should help I would think.

As a dubs fan I'd do this trade.
