Utah Jazz notes: Team won't match offer from Wizards to Brown

Good Luck to Dee Brown. He is a class act on and off the court!

Dee, rock them at the nation's capitol!!! I expect you to be hitting solid minutes by the end of this upcoming season, after your coaches see that you truly are the bomb. Good luck in DC, and God Bless.

No one's convinced me as to why we let Dee go in
the first place. Hart certainly hasn't been as effective. Price is athletic and has a better shot, but Dee would have been a better 2nd or 3rd option than Hart. Good luck Dee!

Since Orlando has too many shooting guards and only one true point guard, the Jazz need to look at a possible trade with the Magic. Utah has plenty of point guards and could look to improve their depth at shooting guard.

Jimmy wouldn't trade Boozer for Wallace and May, but how about this trade with Charlotte:

Utah Trades:
Boozer (11.5m)
Collins (2.0m)
Hart (2.5m)

Charlotte sign and trades:
Okafor (10m, 10.5m, 11m, 11.5m, 12m)
Morrison (4.1m, 5.2m)

The Jazz give up the best player in the deal, but they get a suitable replacement in Okafor (and one that plays D). Since Boozer may bolt after this year it might be best to get something for him now. Also this opens up some playing time and future salary cap space to for Milsap.

Morrison is coming off a knee injury but has potential and probably at the very least can be a younger version of Matt Harpring.

I really think I would rather have Dee Brown as a point guard than Jason Hart. It seems like last year Hart didn't do much when on the floor. With Brown still a young kid and him being able to grow under Deron Williams, it would seem only natural to want him here. If I remember right he played with Williams in college. I think we could get him for pretty cheap.

Now watch the Delta Center crowd boo him lustfully. I hope I'm wrong.

Jazz should have never let Dee Brown go. He's better than Hart and Price anyways. Those 2 are horrible.

the Jazz are trading Boozer for Okafor and Morrison. This is top secret the other trade is a rumor to act as a smoke screen

I read about the Jazz not matching the offer in the Washington Post TWO DAYS AGO!

Maybe we can get Dee down the line

Before all you Dee Brown worshipers start complaining about the direction of Jazz Management. Remember Dee Brown was and would be the Jazz's 3rd PG he didn't make a basket, lay up or from the field in his first 3 months of his NBA career, he averaged less than 2 points and 2 assists per game. Not a big loss.

I'm not a big fan of the trade proposal in this article. I liked May in college but he's been injured his whole time in the NBA and Wallace is very small for a 4. If this rumor is true the Jazz must be very afraid that Booz is leaving next year.

That being said if the Jazz are going to make a trade this is the type of value they will get for Booz as no one wants to trade like value for a guy who's going to be there one year.

I do like the Okafor for Boozer trade rumor. I think that would be a good fit for the Jazz and Charlotte. Okafor's scoring would improve his rebounding is already there and the Jazz's interior defense would be much better. Okafor's biggest weekness is his FT shooting.

Boozer, Collins and Hart for Okafor and Morrison or May. Shove Collins and Hart down their throat if they want Booze. Win Win for both teams. Also just sign D-will for whatever length of time he wants, just hold the line and don't do it for MAX money, he understands cap and luxury tax, plus need of other players needing to be signed I'm sure. As far as him dictating anything else the team wants to do tell him to take a hike, just sign the contract and leave the teams decision making up to management. Young players have no business demanding to be a part of management decision making. End of story.

Man i would trade for wallace and may in a second!!! you get an high flying athletic, SHOTBLOCKING player in wallace and you get a player with alot of upside in may if he can stay healthy. May has the same body type as boozer, but hey boozer also was plagued by injuries early in his career but came out nice. And i am pissed at the jazz for signing a top 5 WORST fa in franchise history in jason hart instead of keeping d wills best friend and dee brown is on the rise in his career while jason hart is in the ride (of the bench) of his career.

I think this trade with Charlotte would be great.Why not move Kirilenko to the four spot and let Wallace play three.The coaches have always said that Kirilenko is more suited at the four position.Williams,Brewer,Wallace,Kirilenko,and Okur is a solid starting five.This also would open the door for more minutes for Millsap.Anybody out there agree?

I don't want May from the Bobcats, I want Okafor. Best of luck to Dee

I was thinking we need to get something for boozer. He has already basically said he is leaving.

But then I had a thought. If he opts out of his contract next year, he will have to play at least as good if not better next season to demand the money he will be looking for. There is risk in opting out for him too. I predict a pretty productive season for him. Really its kind of a no brainer.

Bottom line next year is very important for both the Jazz and Boozer. Hopefully they pull off that over the top trade they have said they are willing to make. Now is the time.

GO JAZZ !!!!!!!!

dee we miss you buddy good luck in dc maybe they will give you a chance to show off your talents instead of releasing you so we can pick up a horrible back up point gaurd and pay him 2 million to ride our bench!

How about this? Don't trade anybody this season.
