Utah Jazz Talk

A lot has been hypothesized about the following questions?

1. Can the Jazz can be a Championship contender with Paul Millsap as their starting power forward?
2. Team-wise, offensively and defensively, who is better Paul Millsap or Carlos Boozer?

Analyzing the statistics, here is how things break down.

With all of the recent talk of Chicago as Boozer’s destination, here are some three way trades for the Jazz that make sense.

And just in case anyone wanted to know…

If you do a four team trade with Utah, Miami, Cleveland, and Toronto to ship off Boozer, Kirilenko, Harpring, and CJ Miles for Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade, and LeBron James, Hollinger’s rankings predict that the Jazz would win 47 games more than they did last year.

Considering that the Jazz won 48 games last year, and there are fewer than 95 games in an NBA season, I find Hollinger’s numbers slightly suspect.

If they pulled off a trade like that, I suspect that the Jazz probably wouldn’t match on Millsap — to save money for 2010 to re-sign their starters.

I have to say that I prefer some of the trade proposals in my previous blog to the ones he presented here.
