    So if this doesn't work out, do we go after David Lee? He's a similar player to Millsap. I bet NY doesn't match if we offer him the same contract we're offering Paul. My guess is, that is plan D.

    Haha. The Jazz should "delay" the receiving of the offer.

    "Sir, are you gentlemen ready to read the terms of the offer?"

    "Um, no, no, just give us a few more days to pull ourselves together."

    All the way to the next offseason.

    Well, Bucher, a quick perusal of Eisley's and Anderson's PERs would have revealed that they weren't very good. So Hollinger has cracked that "Utah system" code.

    Does the Utah system matter, since Utah will match? Portland got Utah to spend big on their own FA, limiting their ability to do much else for the next several years. And they are forcing Utah to move Boozer.

    Does anyone else think Utah is going to have a hard time trading Boozer?

    He is on the last year of a contract, and they want cap space in return, so he would not be the classic expiring contract. He has shown a lack of loyalty to his teams in the past. Who wants to trade their cap space for a one year shot at a PF who may leave? If Chicago isn't having any--who else would be?

    I'm starting to wonder if Utah can even find a trading partner.

    Jason Quick said there is nothing behind the Boozer to Chicago talks (with Hinrich coming to Portland).

    Yahoo Sports also reported the same thing.

    Detroit just signed CV.

    Maybe Miami using Jermaine?

    I don't see much of a market for Boozer. Utah knew Millsap would draw interest and if reports are true that Millsap is their #1 priority, why is Boozer still on the roster?

    They aren't going to bother to trade Boozer. They are going to match, go over the cap for a year until Boozer and some other contracts run out, and pinch it for a year. That is what I would do.

    An amzing amount of sour grapes in Utah. They grossly over-paid for AK47 and Boozer...but they resent paying Millsap $8 mil? I don't see the logic there.
