We could also do a sign and trade with Miami this summer, right?<BR/><BR/>I don't mind losing the Booze at all, but it would be nice if we could get a little something something for him.Pasty Gangstahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698648490287890186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661363167240819401.post-29040561381227164152008-12-17T11:13:00.000-08:002008-12-17T11:13:00.000-08:00That would be a good trade.

Or do a two-for-one, with one of those players expiring. It'd be tough though... because the team trading for him knows also that Boozer will be a free agent and could very easily leave their team at seasons end.Draft Guruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03119001539960595745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661363167240819401.post-2843264610606256012008-12-17T10:00:00.000-08:002008-12-17T10:00:00.000-08:00Could we not cut a package deal where we get some ...Could we not cut a package deal where we get some value and some expiring contracts though?

We would have to trade Boozer for another player who's contract also expires after this season (or trade Kirilenko for an expiring). If we trade for someone with a similar/but longer contract, we risk not being able to retain players we'd like to keep. Basically, we need to shed $$$ in order to re-sign guys like Millsap.Draft Guruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03119001539960595745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661363167240819401.post-29170417826230865392008-12-16T18:44:00.000-08:002008-12-16T18:44:00.000-08:00Is Millsap any shorter than Boozer?

I admit that Boozer is "bigger" in a sense, but he doesn't D up and is soft in the playoffs, so I'm not sure it matters. <BR/><BR/>Paul just plays incredibly hard. He's like Keefe but with talent and without red hair.Pasty Gangstahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698648490287890186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661363167240819401.post-14515458904802332632008-12-16T16:21:00.000-08:002008-12-16T16:21:00.000-08:00I am worried that Milsap may be defendable once pe...I am worried that Milsap may be defendable once people figure out his mo-jo (crash boards, crash boards, and crash boards). The fact that he is 6'8" worries me too. However, in regards to competitive nature, he is head and shoulders above Boozer.<BR/><BR/>But i agree, I do not understand why we are not attempting to trade Boozer right now.

Over the last month Millsap has been averaging 18.5 and 11.8. Boozer, when healthy, was averaging 20.5 and 11.7. Both were shooting 55% from the field. <BR/><BR/>In other words, they have the same stats. Somewhat amazingly, there are only four or five 20-10 guys in the NBA right now (Garnett is probably one but he never gets there because the Cs limit his minutes). The Jazz have two, but it does us no good when one is hurt or buried on the bench because the other is playing. <BR/><BR/>True, we are 7-7 without Boozer but Williams has also been hurt/not himself and AK, Brewer, and others have missed games. Plus if we traded Booze we'd conceivably get something valuable in return.<BR/><BR/>The Jazz should move Boozer. Millsap gives them the same thing at a much lower price.Pasty Gangstahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698648490287890186noreply@blogger.com
