Based on the Prince to Utah for Boozer, Prince to Portand for cap space off-season thing:
Detroit gets Andre Miller, Carlos Boozer
Portland get Tayshaun Prince
Utah gets Kwame Brown, Travis Outlaw, Austin Daye, 2010 Detroit Pick
For Utah they deal out $12.3 mil and only take back $9.3 - saving them some serious coin this season while netting Daye and our 2010 Pick as assets.
If they intend to let Boozer walk after the season then this is a sweet deal for them.
Portland right now are hit by injuries, even their guards are dropping like flies. Blake is out, Roy is carrying an injury - it's one trainwreck over there (and we do love a trainwreck, right?) This deal is more for when they are all healthy as Prince would be extremely valauble to them in the playoffs should they make it.
If they don't make it he's an expiring contract they could dangle with some youth for a star in the off-season or on Draft Day (which should be known as Portland Trade Day)
For us? We get a leader at PG and a beast at PF who also happens to be an expiring contract. Try before you buy and worst case scenario he walks and we make a play for David Lee or someone else
I realise acquiring Miller creates a logjam at the guard positions but he essentially brings everything Stuckey lacks. And I think it's time the organisation came to terms with the fact that Stuckey is far more valuable as trade bait than he is as a PG.
Our cap space + Stuckey = ??? Let Joe be King... again
