I would gladly trade our Knicks pick for Caron or Gerald. They both play great defense, Caron has a better offense of game.

IF we sign milsap to a longterm deal and go into the luxery tax, its only crazy for one year unless we sign a superstart next year. Boozer will be gone and korver will be looking for a new contract as well. Grit your teeth and finish your last year with AK and if we do keep him, dont pay him that absurd amount we already did. So even if we did have to go into the tax, it could be for just a year or maybe two before we could relieve the pressure. I say thats a small price to pay in the long run of things.

The jazz already told Boozer they are not planning on keeping him. SO he is for sure out I would like to put anther option up on that board even though I know the jazz wouldn’t do t I would like to see it.
OPTION 3: We let Paul go I mean come on Paul is good but, not 8 million dollars good. Then you call up Steve Kerr with the SUNS and, make a Boozer and AK trade for Amre. Steve Kerr will change his whole team in a heart beat he doesn’t care and, the suns like AK enough to do it. they were going to trade last year for Shawn Marion who was loved down in AZ. so if you traded both Boozer and AK I think Steve would condsider it. that way you free up alot of cap room get rid of the two guys every one is disliking in utah and get a potentail super star on your team. it’s win win for every one I fell. the suns get anther player in AK to play run and, gun basketball with along with Boozer who will replace the duties of Shaq and, we get a guy that can run the pick and role with Dwill and, play defence.
I know alot of people are sayin what about dept at that position but to me Kosta can back up Amre and, do just as good if not better job then what Milsap could. I think that would be a great move for us and, also the suns

i think we should have this roster:

pg-deron williams, ronnie price, eric maynor
sg-ronnie brewer, kyle korver
sf-caron butler, cj miles
pf-memo okur, milsap, koufas
c-tyson chandelair, fez and if needed koufas or okur could play it

we could get caron butler by trading boozer and our 1st round draft pick and get tyson chandelair by ak or matt harpring or other guys with draft picks

-thanks
thanks

It’s not how much they spend, but what they end up with at the end of the day. Overspending could, and has, crippled them to this point, putting them in this situation.

Match Millsap, keep Boozer, until a beneficial trade can be made, or his salary goes off the books.

From the current situation of Boozer and his attitude in early Dec., Boozer has to be traded. But the good news is that Boozer is so valuable at the trading market.

The price for Millsap is too high. Signing him is going to affect the future of jazz. Jazz should have offered Millsop a lot earlier. Jazz made a huge mistake.

spenser on July 12, 2009 said:

in the first year of milsaps deal he’ll make like 11-12 mill. but in the last 3 he’ll be around 6 mill a year. which i think is about right as far as how much he’s worth. so i say match it. and i would personally love a ak+harpring for mcrady trade for the long term benefit of the team considering we wont compete for a title this year anyway regardless of what we do.

that is proof of a 3 team trade thats beneficial to all involved. chicago gets boozer, hornets get harpring and korver, and utah gets chandler, tyrus thomas and tim thomas

tman11 on July 12, 2009 said:

Really you think Paul should get paid that much? did you know Lamar Odom is getting paid 4 million this year. nothing against Paul but, he isn’t even half as good as Lamar. I’m a beliver he isn’t worth over 5 mill espcially since Boozer is still on are team. Even if he wasn’t though he still isn’t worth that much money no way i would pay him that. Kosta can put up stats like that and we can pay him 1 mill for anther two years let Paul go and, Kosta can fill in or, do even bettr then Paul did.

spenser on July 12, 2009 said:

tman11, lamar odom is making 4 mill this year even though he is worth over 10. with how much milsap means to the jazz franchise and the fact that milsap after 3 years is just as good as boozer was after 3 years and boozer improved, which leads me to believe that milsap will get alot better as well considering he has a much stronger work ethic. and really at the 4 position they are both undersized. milsap more than makes up for his undersized body with heart, determination and hard work.

spenser on July 12, 2009 said:

oh and as for odom making 4 mil get off your butt and do some research, the lakers are offering him 8 million a season

lew23 on July 12, 2009 said:

I dont care what the jazz do with trades. As long as we dont have boozer and Ak on our team by the first game of the year then I will be happy. You can trade boozer for haffa alrujo or mark madsen and believe it or not i would be more excited watching them than watching boozer again.

tman11 on July 12, 2009 said:

the Orginall offer was 4 jack ass. But even at that 8 million dollars and, Odom is 3 or 4 times as good as Milsap. Milsap has improved much over three years just got more playing time and, put into more a role situtation . There is no proof that he will improve with time. But there is proof that goes against him improving. Like for the fact he has been up here for 3 year and, his jump shot has not really improved.and he still can’t use both hand around the basketball. You sit here and, talk about his work ethic but, come on I hear every player on the jazz being a hard working that is all you hear about are players. So that tells me either all are players just have crazy work ethic and, he will improve but, so will every one else so it won’t make any difference or, that what they are saying is kind of BS. If Milsap stays are garntee you Kosta will have his job in a year he isn’t that great of a player.

tman11 on July 12, 2009 said:

Well sorry to make you an unhappy person Lew but, atleast one of them will be around by game one of next season. Boozer to me is goiung to be gone but, AK is tough to find a place to move him to. The best option with him is Golden State Don neilson loves AK and, the way he plays. But the jazz don’t like what they have to offer it seems like because if we did we would have traded him last year.They already told Boozer he is gone though so that should make you kind of happy.

mike on July 13, 2009 said:

if only the suns would trade stoudamire for ak.

tman11 on July 13, 2009 said:

I think if you threw Boozer with Ak they would make that deal. They were looking to trade Amre last season I honestly think they would consider that offer. If i was the jazz I would try and, make a deal for him.

mario on July 13, 2009 said:

trade ak and boozer to the suns for matt barnes and amare

tman11 on July 13, 2009 said:

where did you hear that one at

beatrix on July 13, 2009 said:

Keep Millsap and Boozer unless a really good trade opportunity comes up for Boozer. Boozer WILL play well this year, it’s pretty much guaranteed. It’s time to pay up and win. It gets tiresome to be so thrifty only to keep on losing. Deron Williams deserves a team willing to spend money to compete. Keeping both would give Millsap one more year to improve his offense and get the pick and roll down. If he fails then the Jazz could beg Boozer to sign another contract when his is up and trade Millsap instead. If Millsap does step up to the starter task, then you can just let Boozer walk at the end of his contract. There is no reason to trade away Boozer right now for a handful of beans.
