Fun with the ESPN Trade Machine

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.
