    There have been 3 teams that the Jazz know are willing to take on Carlos Boozer and his contract. The Lakers and Mavericks are 2 of them. From what I've heard, it's highly unlikely that the Lakers get Boozer unless Odom is involved in the trade. Caron Butler just isn't enough incentive for the Jazz to trade Boozer - look at the stats.

    Why would Haley report it though..that is his job, it could cost him his job...and LM isn't going to report something right away until league approval because if it isn't approved then he has to deal with that player...

    NOTE: Sorry about the double posts, I will edit them when I calm down..

    You have to think about it though...the owner is going to say stuff if it isn't approved because Devean George can be a huge snag in this one because he is on the IL. I believe you can't trade players on the IL..right? So if he doesn't agree to come off or w.e, the league won't approve it...keeping Booze in Utah, knowing he was that close to being traded, which more than likely would cause turmoil...

    I highly doubt this trade is going down, just from the LHM stand point and it makes no sense for Utah based on the fact that they don't need more Sfs

    If this trade actually has been accepted, it makes no sense for Utah.

    Now

    Jazz SF: Andrei Kirilenko, Matt Harpring

    If Boozer is traded

    Jazz SF: Andrei Kirilenko, Matt Harpring, Caron Butler, Devean George

    Utah have a logjam at the 2 aswell [​IMG] .

    However LHM wouldn't completely flat out deny knowing anything about even a possible trade going down. He would beat around the bush a little. He basically said there were talks but they weren't going to trade Boozer. I will believe the trade when I see it.

    Didn't Utah just recently state they wanted to have Andrei at the 4? Because of how well he did last year, thast what I thought..thats what put me under the impression that they were shopping Boozer...if they aren't moving him..why the hell would Utah do this?

    Oh and Stock, the talk is to move AK to PF, which still leaves a logjam at SF. This is a dumb trade and I sure as hell hope it doesn't happen.

    Utah have been dissapointed by Boozer this season. He hasn't quite been what they thought he would be, he's still young and has potential so his trade value is high. That could be why they may be trying to trade him, also a deal of some sort needs to happen when you look at the record. As for AK47 at the 4, it depends who you listen to.

    C'mon...I am so confused now...

    Just the thought of: Chucky, Kobe, Lamar at his natural spot [​IMG], Boozer, Mihm

    OMG I need some more confirmation...if it is a no go, Jack Haley needs to rot in hell right after getting fired...
