    Tell me what you think of this:

    Utah will have 8 players under contract for little over $44,500,000.

    If we can trade Boozer and free up some cap, should we just resign Eisley, draft one of the big 3 point guards, then pick another point guard later in the draft. Then we will have some cap, should we maybe try and sign Illgauskas, so Okur can play the 4 position like he wants.

    What do you think of us trying to get Michael Redd?

    Boozer is on the trading block everyone says, but will he return?

    Here are some of my thoughts, tell me what you think, but give some mercy [​IMG] . I'm just want to know what you think of this stuff.

    You're not going to get some immediate cap space by trading Boozer. If you trade him, who will it be to? You have tomake the trade before July 1, when the players file for free agency. A player like NVE can give you cap space, but Boozer has no role in Portland. The only cap space you'll get is for next off-season if you make a trade. So you can cross out that whole Ilgauskas plan.

    Another trade Boozer thread. The same old tiresome story.

    The only feedback I have to offer is, a man would have to be gifted to spontaneous fits of irrationality to even consider dealing Boozer.

    Trading Boozer is used up.........worn out. Try trading someone else for a change.

    Why da heck does everyone have with trading Boozer? He's not going anywhere, he's a good player and he's going to stay.

    What Utah do in the draft will affect Utah's offseason.
    The Jazz should to try to bring in a Point Guard, preferably a veteran, in the offseason. They may not be able to sign who they're after, in which case the Jazz may have to make a trade for a Point Guard. Kevin O'Connor has said that he doesn't want to give up Kirilenko, Okur, Boozer and Harpring.
    The Jazz should also try to bring back Raja Bell and Keith McLeod. Bell may start for the Jazz next season, and McLeod should deepen the bench.

    The Jazz shouldn't make any major changes, just try to improve at Point Guard and hope that they can have better luck with injuries next season. The Jazz started the season very well, so if they can do those things, they may be capable of big things next season.

    Exactly, without all the injuries the Jazz had this year, they could've well been in the playoffs.
    C-Mehmet Okur, Jarron Collins, Curtis Brochardt
    PF-Carlos Boozer, Kris Humphries
    SF-Andrei Kirelinko, Matt Harpring
    SG-Raja Bell, Gordon Gireciek, Kirk Snyder
    PG-_____, McCleod
    It's a pretty good line-up that we've got. Sure, we might want to go for a better back-up center, and another point guard. Also, another score might help. But if we can get a decent point guard again. the Jazz will be back and amazing next year.
