Thoughts about the rumored trade: Carlos Boozer for Rip Hamilton
The biggest news in the NBA on the trade rumor front is the proposed trade of Carlos Boozer to the Detroit Pistons for Richard Hamilton.
Carlos Boozer has one year left on his deal for $12.65 million.
Richard Hamilton has four years remaining on his deal, which will pay him $11.6 million this season, and $12.65 million each year for the next three years after that.

As we enter February, we hear reports that the Jazz are on the mend and that we might begin to see some of the players after the All-Star break. We are mildly annoyed with the fact that Deron Williams won’t be playing in the All-Star Game, but we console ourselves with the fact that he will be getting much needed rest and that the All-Star Game really doesn’t matter anyway.
