We'd have a lot of defense but absolutely no offense (unless Favors has a BIG year next year).
IMO I'd rather let Al expire and see where things stand.. Noah certainly isn't cheap.

Jazz would be dumb to do this. Taking on Noah's contract is just plain stupid. How are we going to sign our guys if we are paying Noah 14 million a year. The guy can't score on a lamppost. Sure he hustles and plays decent defense but there is no way he is worth his contract. It would be like having AK back. The Jazz can get a better deal financially than this trade.

I can see it now with Boozer and Al on the bench the last 7 minutes because they are liabilities on defense. LOL.

Maybe they are looking for a way to sign Howard next year.
They take a risk to get some scoring out of Jefferson while Rose is out. When the season is over if they like Jefferson (prob wont but might) they resign him. If they dont they let him go and amnesty Boozer and they have some serious cap space to make a move on Harden/Howard/CP3 or some one else. They would have Deng and Rose under contract and lots of cap space.

The Bulls' biggest problem was revealed in the 2011 Easter Conference Finals: they don't have a second option who can consistently create his own shot. Al could give them that. Plus, with Rose reportedly going to miss most of the 12-13 regular season, maybe the Chicago FO feels they need more scoring for the start of the season. I can sorta see why they would do this.
As far as the Jazz are concerned, I think I would be in favor of this. We would likely miss out on a chance to sign Harden, but a Noah/Favors combo would secure our front court for at least the next four years. Then, if Kanter develops into the player many of us believe he can, Favors/Kanter/Noah just sounds too good to be true.
I doubt this actually happens, but it would have me excited if it did.

With this trade I could see the jazz being a lot like the last pistons team to win a championship. It's not like Sheed and Ben were a great offensive duo or anything. Infact Favors and Noah might be a better combo

Favors' offense will come. So will Kanter's, IMO. Plus, while those two develop, we still have Millsap this year. I wouldn't be worried about our offense. Everyone is always complaining about Al's inability to pass out of the post...well, Noah is a pretty great passer for a big man. Our offense could potentially run smoother with a Noah/Jefferson swap, in addition to obviously being much better on the defensive end.
