Would Utah want Memo and Sheed together? I'd do it but I'm not sure they would.
Boozer's just going to opt out after next year anyway...that's not worth losing Max...give them afflalo, he can be Jerry Sloan's punching bag
Actually, I think I'd risk losing Max for a year's rental of Boozer and the chance to convince him to stick around.
But I think Amir is ready to play, so that mitigates losing Max a bit for me.
Plus, we get Harpring to back up Tay or spot start for what basically amounts to a 2 year MLE deal.
Yeah, a 20 and 10 guy without character issues is worth the risk of giving up Max for a rental IMO.
I'm not sure what teams will have max space, but there will be a lot of FA's (unless extended) to go after (some are with opt outs)...
2009:
Kobe, Boozer, AI, Artest, RIP, Kidd, Marion, Miller, Odom and Sheed
also, teams might be saving space for the following year...
2010:
Lebron, Wade, Bosh, Amare, Allen, Chandler, Manu, Dirk, Redd
(all of these are UFA's)
You can't tell who will have space until some of the bigger names sign this year, but there are usually only 2-5 teams with space to sign a max player each year. How many of those are contenders or become contenders with that player signing there? I can't think of one time that has happened recently.
Billups/Stuckey/Hunter
Rip/Stuckey/Afflalo
Tay/Harpring/zzzzzzzz
Boozer/Dice/Amir
Ratliff/Dice/Samb
And add in the MLE acquisition(s), if any.
If Joe took a chance and gave Krstic a good chunk of the MLE for a couple of years, I wonder if NJ would match?Quote:

Sheed doesn't improve their team, between sheed & okur, your entire front court will spend 75% of the game on the primeter
Say we do that same trade but sub Okur for Boozer?
I'd do the Boozer trade in a heartbeat, but I don't think the Jazz would even consider it.
Or what about a trade involving AK?
If he can play center... sure... how many PF's do we need?Quote:
