LBJ was traded to Miami even after he ripped the heart of of Cleveland. It's only a matter of what the Jazz are willing to give up.

I was kind of hoping that the Jazz would get him in the second round. Maybe he can be this year's version of Matthews. Who is he playing for in Summer League?

I still think trying to pry Fernandez and Mills away from Portland would be one of the best ways to go.

It has been somewhat discussed earlier in this thread, but is there any reason Portland would agree to send us Rudy and Mills for TPEs if we agree to not match for Matthews? I think with those two, Fes, Evans and not bringing back Gaines or Jeffers, we would have 13 players. This is a team a few...

There are a few centers that intrigue me, but I think who the Jazz bring in depends on how they want to approach this season. 1) Win Now: Gortat is probably the only 5 (at a reasonable salary) that could be had and come in and make a significant difference. However, he is unproven and his...

I think that the plan is to win as much as possible every year without sacrificing too many future wins, while spending as little as possible. It sounds like a lame line that the FO would use publicly, but after hearing Rigby on the radio the other day, it would not surprise me if this was their...

The point was made with players on teams who would probably not be able to match due to their payrolls already being high. Similar to what we did with Okur.

I would probably be ok with Boozer for Gortat, Anderson and TPE. The idea being tossed around with having future cap space is going after teams' RFA. Horford and Gasol are two major ones.

So, what is wrong with this BASIC idea of keeping cap space until the new CBA? I could care less that the idea came from 1280, but I do think the idea deserves some discussion. Almost everyone on this board is talking about having to make big, cap-clogging moves this summer. I think there is...

Before re-signing Matthews and Fes, the Jazz have about $60M committed in salary. Adding Gortat and Anderson brings that up to about $67.7M for 10 players. Bringing back Fes, Matthews and one more player (back-up PG) would probably put the Jazz about $4M over the tax. Is that team worth it? I...

John Hollinger: Interestingly, Boozer attended Game 2 of the Eastern conference finals last year and was talking to Dwight Howard during stoppages in play. I imagine Jazz would want Gortat, Anderson and the trade exception from the Turkoglu deal. from espn live chat today

Did anyone else hear the discussion on 1280 the other day? The argument was basically that the Jazz are likely better off not taking back significant contracts (if any) for Boozer as well as not re-signing Korver and letting AK's deal expire next year. They would have lots of young talent and...

Gortat is unproven and his contract could be horrendous with the new CBA. Given that trading AK and bringing back less salary is not a given, I don't see how this team, with the additions of Gortat and Redick/Pietrus/Anderson is worth paying the tax for.

I still think that the Jazz are being extremely mindful of the next CBA and will not add significant long term salary unless it gets them an All-Star or border line All-Star (at slightly less money) a la the Gasol trade. Barring a trade like this, I think the best course of action for this...

It has to be a veteran, not somebody that has only been in the league a few years. Unless we want to see more assets traded to stay under the tax, I think that this center can't make more than about 6 million/year.

I think the Jazz have two options with this upcoming off-season/season: 1) Stay right around the tax threshold by not making any major moves. To me, this means letting Boozer walk, maybe re-signing Korver and bringing back Matthews and Fes. A couple more roster spots need to be added and...

I would have much rather seen the Jazz draft Randle in the 2nd round and brought him in to challenge for the backup spot.
