With all of the recent talk of Chicago as Boozer’s destination, here are some three way trades for the Jazz that make sense.
Some three way trades with Chicago that make sense
David Locke’s Trade Proposals for Carlos Boozer
Here are 13 more trade proposals as David Locke presented on his show this afternoon on 1320 KFAN.
I have to say that I prefer some of the trade proposals in my previous blog to the ones he presented here.
Possible Boozer Trade Scenarios
You can certainly have a lot of fun with ESPN Trade Machine. I tried to limit myself to trades that made a certain degree of sense for both sides and that only involved one team.
Here are a couple of trade scenarios that might work for the Jazz, especially considering that they Jazz have made it known that they have to trade Boozer (thus reducing the amount they can get from him).
Why not trade Carlos Boozer to New York for David Lee?
I haven’t heard this trade rumor come up, but in the wake of the knowledge that Portland is willing to throw a lot of up front money at Paul Millsap, in a front-loaded contract, even though most people agree that Millsap is too small to be a starting Power Forward in the league, it makes me wonder if the Jazz should pursue an alternative course of action.
Since everybody else is getting into the trade rumor arena, I figured it was time for me to throw my hat over the wall.
The Jazz could easily trade Carlos Boozer and CJ Miles (or Matt Harpring) to the New York Knicks for David Lee (via sign-and-trade) and Jared Jeffries.
Boozer to Chicago for Tyrus Thomas rumor
This is probably another rumor “leaked” by the Portland Trailblazers.
Apparently they really like the strategy of “leaking” rumors to gauge the interest of fans, commentators, and/or other teams to the principles of certain signings or trades.
The principles of this trade involve Utah sending Carlos Boozer to the Chicago Bulls and the Chicago Bulls sending Kirk Hinrich to Portland and Tyrus Thomas to Utah. Portland can absorb some (but not all) of the Hinrich contract because they are below the cap, so what they would send to Utah or Chicago in return is unclear.
Because it’s fun, lets examine this trade to see if it makes sense.
