As a UK fan from birth I would LOVE to have Prince picked up by the Jazz (don't see how it's possible though).
Could definitely use his defense!

Too expensive. Prince less so, but I think Hamilton will not be the player many think he'd be here.

Oh wait, we still have AK. Prince+Hamilton for Kirilenko anyone?

...don't know the exact financial savings on a trade like this, but I've always liked Tayshawn's game, despite his "hopper" type name! Hamilton could probably still give us 10 points a game, and both are smart, fundamentally sound players! If we could save money and rid ourselves of Klinko's bad contract, it might be worth doing!
............... neverind, don't even know where to start
This would make us contenders not just pretenders. Ha ha I make funny! But really I would love this!

Hamilton and Prince make 23.6 next year combined. Kirilenko 17.8. 25% of Hamilton and Prince is 17,736,570 +100K. Kirilenko's salary falls in between 25% and 25% +100k. I don't now how exactly it works. If it's acceptable.
In any case, if it were acceptable, That's an extra 12 million on the payroll for next year. 67.5 million guaranteed for 7 players next year, and 71 million for 8 players if C.J.'s option is picked up next year.
With a new CBA that's gross.
Worth it, in my opinion, if it gives us a legitimate shot at a championship, which I feel it would. Even worst-case scenario with those seven guys, you can sign minimum guys and still have a mediocre playoff team that gets bumped in the first round, which everyone around here seems to think is the epitome of greatness.
