I don't see how you can think that we'd be better off without AK and Okur, I do agree that we don't need Booz anymore with Millsap playing the way he is. But there is no one in the league who can play better D than AK. Just look at our record with and without him, he helps us a lot, yes, we are giving him way too much money, but getting rid of him would be a mistake.
Also Memo is a great player, he has come a long way in just the past year, he's added a lot of new moves to his [censored] and has started to play more of an inside-out game, there have been quite a few wins that we can thank the money man for. I think that after Booz leaves Okur would be an amazing backup for Paul. We can start Koufus at Center, he seems to have a lot of potential.

Orlando is looking for a PG since Nelson is hurt. The Jazz should trade Kirilenko and Ronnie Price for Turkoglu, Battie, and Foyle. This trade works through Espn Trade machine. Any comments?

I think we need to try and get Amare Stoudamire we would be on are way to a NBA championship I don't understand if the suns are willing to get rid of an all star like Amare we dont take him off there hands just imagine the greatest DWILL and Amare surrounded with memo and millsap plus korver would get alot of good looks from the outside this is a NO brainer to me.

Its a shame that Ak has claimed so much of the salary alotment, however moving him would be absolutely dumb. What Utah really needs is not a brand new batch of top notch talent, we have plenty of talent. If we are shopping for trades we need to look at the players who are more interested in their paychecks and less interested in teams success. One thing I have always liked about AK is his drive for great numbers and how hard he is on himself if he cant be as good as he wants to be. What is really starting to get on my nerves is when our only real inside defensive presence desides he cant participate in the most important game of the year because he has an ache in his hamstring. Doesnt show much desire for team success. When I hear Jerry Sloan frustrated because the team is laying over before the post season has even started. We all miss stock and malone, we were spoiled with injury free players who had eyes set on rings. Boozer doesnt have it, Ocur doesnt have it, Ak does. Lets be smart about how we approach the trade block or else stop paying players full salaries when they are sitting behind the bench nursing weak injuries!

The Magic would be idiots to go for it. Turkoglu is FAR more valuable than AK at this point in their careers, and the gap will only widen in the next two or three.

The Jazz should retain Price. They should release Knight, who is past his prime, undersized, and a bad shooter.

There are MANY people in the league who play better defense than AK. Andre has lost more than a step these last few years and not just offensively. He gets beaten off the dribble and plays lazy. He is killing the Jazz with his salary. Getting rid of him is a bigger priority than getting rid of Boozer.

Memo, contrary to what some people are saying, is the Jazz 2nd most important player (behind Deron, obviously) and the guy we should absolutely lock down this offseason. He's already signaled he's willing to sign a five year deal for just a little more than what we're paying him now. That is an opportunity we should jump at, because he could certainly make more money elsewhere, and Detroit is interested in getting him back. But he's said he loves it here and that we made him an all-star, so hopefully he's looking to stay. The Jazz should do whatever they can to keep him. He does a lot for the team with his shooting range, allowing Deron and Brewer access to the paint, and keeping double-teams away from Boozer and Millsap. He is a very valuable player, and the Jazz would be very foolish to let him get away.

While this is in intriguing prospect for the Jazz, there are money issues and locker room issues. Part of the reason the Suns are so eager to get rid of him is because he's a trouble maker for his own team.

Money issues-Well Boozers gotte same contract so just get rid of him and a filler and we're good.

Attitude issues-Jerry can work with that. Im not really pleased with Boozers attitude.

I'm not saying I wouldn't be willing to try it, I'm just saying that people should realize that there is a reason the Suns want to get rid of him.

Really? I cant really read your post because. Well I had to pretend I was in the 4th grade. That helped. Be honest. Ak is an all star so he should be our go to guy? Boozer and Memo are our most RECENT all stars. Ak is terrible. He takes WAY too many risks on defense and hurts us by doing so. If you want to get rid of Boozer fine. But Ak goes first. He makes more money and doesnt do anything. And lastly. You see memo miss more threes than he makes? Who do you see making more than they miss? Memo is great to have considering how he stretches the D. Opens up the lane for guys like Brewer and Deron. I'm sorry man. But you take away Okur, and Boozer and make Ak our priority. Well get ready for the lottery. Get ready for the lottery for a few years. Chalk it up.
