Even if Tracy is not fully healthy, the Jazz would be doing themselves a favor
by making the trade. The Jazz would then have lots of space in 2010 with a
great NYC pick on its way. It would show Deron Williams the Jazz are committred
to winning and will do whatever necessary to do so. Bring on the Boozer and
Andrei trades!!
goober | 12:08 a.m. July 4, 2009
This is quite possible the dumbest trade ever. The Jazz already have ample
supply of guys that can score and DISTRIBUTE the ball. If AK left we'd have
two players - DWill and Brewer - that play defense. Why not pick up Steve Nash
while we're at it?
McGrady will never | 12:10 a.m. July 4, 2009
play again and if he does try he will not be the same. Micro fracture surgery
does not work well on older players and McGrady has a lot of miles on him.
HOU may be stuck for this next year. Why bail out a rival? There is no 2011 salary saved by paying 23 mill in salary plus another 23 mill in luxury tax this year.
AK does contribute a lot to the team and is the insurance guy for when other positions get hurt. He is also about the only player who plays help defense. Okur and Boozer would be helpless without AK.
With AK on coming off of the bench (2nd string) the 1st Q 1st string defense was awful.
Anyway this is just rumor. Both AK and McGrady's contracts are nearly impossible to move. McGrady has been shopped to just about every team in the league.
The Jazz make us wonder sometimes but they are not that dumb.

It seems like I might be one of the only Kirilinko supporters still left here in
Utah, having said that, I still wouldn't mind the trade. Send AK and
Harpring's contract to Houston for McGrady. Salaries would match pretty
close and worst case scenario is that McGrady doesn't play at all and he
leaves at end of season. Then we'd have cap room for the big 2010 FA class.
We're obviously not getting Lebron or Wade but we could get a very nice
player to play along side Deron for the next 5 years , along with hopefully a
lottery pick from NY. I love AK but not at that salary. This trade would also
make it easier to trade Boozer because we wouldn't be scared to take on a
longer contract, which would only open up our options for who we would be
willing to get in return. I know this won't happen because the front office
could never pull off such a move, but I can dream right?

Tracyyyy Jazz must be smoking? Right? IT's gonna be good for AK only, he
will finally free of Jerry Sloan Tirane. Connor pull the trigger , you did
before dumb decisions. his one will be dumbest one. But I like AK so much I wish
he play other than Salt lake.
Do it!! | 12:56 a.m. July 4, 2009
Salaries: AK + Harpring = McGrady. Buy out McGrady. Salary exchange would be
similar in 09-10, but rids Jazz of AKs salary for 10-11. AK will make 16 mil
this season, and he produces like a mid-level exception player. He does not
play hard anymore. This would be a fantastic way to get rid of him.
This would potentially leave the Jazz with Brewer, Korver, Price, Miles, and Millsap to play the wing positions. Playing Millsap at the 3 gets him on the floor more. Not a ton of shooters, though.
With this trade, the Jazz would have something like 50 mil in salaries coming off the books next summer- Korver, Boozer, Okur, McGrady.

hear-say story to make up for the lack of real news. lets all get off the
computer and go paint the fence or something until next wednesday when the
second wave of speculation trades begin

I agree with this all the way it is a win-win situation all around. We buy out McGrady and have lots of cap space to sign the players we need. Millsap plays defence!! and can shoot as well. Look at his stats from last year. DEFENSE is way more important than offense. How coaches are finding that out and telling their players to be more defensive minded.
When will the fans get this into their heads and stop looking for the best fantasy players.

way to go | 1:39 a.m. July 4, 2009
there must be a hidden reason for this. T Mac is a poor and slow ball movement
specialist, likes to take the last second shots while being guarded by 2-3
defenders. Not really the passer the Jazz require.
AK is a great ball player but he disappears when behind Boozer. Seems like the Jazz are trying to keep Boozer which will keep Deron. I applaud the Jazz for trying to move AK as he has potential to do better in a different system, perhaps the Knicks.
Shawn Marion is now available and if we can trade Brewer or Harpring for him that would bring a veteran shooter and defender to the Jazz, although he does not do well without the ball.

I say we go for it. The contract would only be for a year and we could see what
we pull out of it. If Tmac is healthy, he is just as good or better than Kobe.
Worst case scenario he is a free agent in a year. We aren't going to get
anywhere by staying with the status quo..... we need to change things up a bit.
Bradiohead | 3:06 a.m. July 4, 2009
This trade idea is an exciting idea. Im sick of not hearing any trade rumors
about the Jazz, it seems like every team in the NBA is making trades but the
Jazz, all these teams are improving their roster and the Jazz are at a stand
still. The majority of Utah wants Kirlenko gone, free up some money to offer
other players.
If mcrady avoids future injury problems, than we have an all star support for D-will, if he doesnt work out then things could be complicated, but I think its worth the gamble. Its pretty obvious that jazz are gonna have a tough time this season anways considering the way the other teams in the NBA are stacking up their teams. If he doesnt work out make him part of a trade package elsewhere since his contract expires this next season anyways.

...fabricated story. Houston has no need or desire for anorexic AK.
Go JAZZ | 6:07 a.m. July 4, 2009
What about possible trades with the Pistons? Booze for Prince or Hamilton will
do us good. Even Rip gets more blocks than Booze.
Millsap can't play | 6:48 a.m. July 4, 2009
the 3 he is to slow. Why would McGrady agree to a buy out? How much are you
really paying for McGrady with the luxury tax? Why give away your flexability by
trading Harp for McGrady.
Why do it now before you know if Millsap is worth keeping and before you know how much that will cost. It is possible Millsap will get no offer this year other than the Jazz (not probable).
Ariza makes AK redundant at HOU so this would strictly be a money trade. It only helps HOU or they would not be offering.

Even if the trade freed up | 6:57 a.m. July 4, 2009
cap space there is the possibility that the Jazz would do something dumb with
the money like resign Okur, and Boozer for a lot more money.
The market will still be bad in summer of 2010. 33 million in cap space is enough to replace Boozer, Okur and Korver with players who play both offense and defense. The Jazz have months to move one or more of them. They need to take their time and wait for the fire sales this year instead of being in bidding wars during the 2010 FA period.
AK's contract will be a lot easier to move for value next year.

Out of here with A.K., Boozer and Miles. If the bid for Milsap is to high which
would be anything more than 8 mil him too. Lets get smart, tough and surround
the nucleus with some grit for a change. These soft primma-donnas are all over
this league let them congregate together some where else other than in Utah.

Only trade we need is Sleepy Sloan for anybody can't anyone SEE what is
and always has been WRONG with the Jazz? what other coach had TWO Great hall of
famers and never won the BIG Prize?
Why Worry? | 8:36 a.m. July 4, 2009
Not sure why so many Jazz fans worry about who's getting paid what and
who's coming off the books. Don't think that's anyone's
worry but the Jazz front office.
C1 | 8:47 a.m. July 4, 2009
There is a reason that Tmac is the "subject of frequent trade rumors".
When he's healthy he can put up some serious numbers and have some nice
highlights but he doesn't win when it matters - in the playoffs. I read
somewhere he's never been out of the first round of the playoffs?
He's not a good chemistry guy. That will never change. I wouldn't
want him on my team.
I'm not an AK supporter either. He's mentally soft and emotionally fragile, not near tough enough for our standards. Again, that will never change.
Anyway, the only reason this trade would be any good would be so that the Jazz could free up cap space for the year after next. As far as T Mac actually helping the team to WIN, it's not going to happen. The Jazz are not going to be any good next year anyway, so maybe it's a good idea to start focusing on the year after.

Talkin aint doin but even talkin on this one is stupid magrady is inured to much
and never has led his team to a title
Cowboy Joe | 9:02 a.m. July 4, 2009
This could be a win win. If they can get rid of Harpring and Kirilenko the
salaries would be a swap. They might even get a first round pick and cash. If
Tmac can make it back after the all star break who knows what kind of run the
Jazz can make. If only the could trade Okur or Boozer for Chandler or Camby
also. Make the trade be bold try something new it just might work.
Shaybo | 9:06 a.m. July 4, 2009
Win,win If he stays healthy you have at least you have a chance to compete with
the other top teams, if he goes down maybe you have two lottery picks in a good
draft year and a barrel full of cash to go after free agents.
NY Jazz fan | 9:10 a.m. July 4, 2009
Anonymous, I agree that things need to change, but comparing Kobe to T-Mac is
like comparing Boozer to Malone. Both are good players, but one is clearly
superior (and that is obviously not T-Mac).
What I do like about this trade is exactly what "Do it's" previous post stated. The deal takes AK's salary off of the books for the 2010-2011 season, and free's up a bunch of cash for next summer.
Something else to consider is that if the Jazz did not buy out T-Mac this year, the Jazz would field a pretty formidable team. Consider a starting line-up of D-Will, Brewer, T-Mac, Millsap, and Okur, plus a bench with Boozer (bringing Boozer off the bench protects the Jazz's interests by starting the player they intend on keeping around) and Korver.
T-Mac may actually flourish with the Jazz because the pressure would not be all on him.

POR just got jilted by Turkoglu. In my opinion TOR is also a small market team.
Utah over uses the "small market" excuse.
Right now is not the time to just start making moves for the sake of making moves. There is plenty of time. The best players are under contract. The best priced players will be available later in the year in the fire sales. 1/2 of the NBA is going to go on sale at the trade deadline.
Sloan has to be intelligently replaced. The new coach has to have players that fit his system or he has to run the Sloan system until he can get the right players.
The biggest problem with the Jazz is that they have never gotten enough talent to win a championship. With Stockman and Malone they lacked quality role players.
L Miller insisted on over paying the role players at the same time he held down total salary (probably out of necessity).
Sloan has limitations but it is not all Sloan or just Sloan.
Greg seems to be slowly fixing the management problems. They did not over pay anyone yet. That is encouraging.
Be patient it may get better.

What? | 9:20 a.m. July 4, 2009
All you people say this is rumor and made up news?
Did you read the article? This was CONFIRMED.
IF McGrady does play we could make a serious run with D-Will, Booz, and Okur. D-Will would have the ball in his hands to control it vs. McGrady which would solve alot of the problem. McGrady is certainly a player that can create his own shot, if needed, which our team sorely needs.
I think AK is great but he does and has moped for as long as Booz has been in the system. When Booz is here AK disappears so he may as well be traded I guess.
Bottom line is that we unload a bunch of salary and it would save the organization money--lots.
AK and Harp should go for McGrady.
Make it happen O'Conner.

My money says Houston initiated the talks, and before Artest bolted and they

sentence, Jazz fans.

I know lebron or wade would never come to utah but if we traded for mcgrady and
we lose Ak and Korver and next year we lose booz and memo and mcgrady wouldnt we
have enough money to offer lebron or wade as much as they wanted?
Nothing but save money | 9:54 a.m. July 4, 2009
This is nothing but to save money for the Jazz. If McGrady remains unfit to
play, 90% of his $23M will be paid by the insurance not the Jazz. So the loss in
Boozer+luxuary tax is returned from the McG-AK trade. Smart business, but AK is
the only capable and versatile defender the Jazz have, if he does play. Jazz
will have a harder time to defend without AK.
It is wiser to rebuild the team | 9:59 a.m. July 4, 2009
one piece at a time instead of grabbing a bunch of big names in FA and hoping
they work together.
If the Jazz ever win a championship it will be because they have gotten the most talented players they can (even back ups) at each position and done it at a reasonable price.
Getting 3 big names is not that feasible for the Jazz. Besides they would over pay and not have good enough role players.
They have DWill, Boozer and AK now. They are all over paid and they are wantabe big names. Utah is in the luxury tax for a play off team.
Maximize the team efficiency. Big names draw attendance on the road. The Jazz need to win on the road.
Home attendance for the Jazz is fine. They don't need big names they need a defense and some adjustments on offense.
At this point CLE does not have the outside shooters to make Shaq effective. Artest is a team disaster wherever he goes. Adding a big name is no guarantee if the fit is bad or even marginal.
SA helped themselves with Jefferson but he is not a big name just a decent player.

T-Mac is the biggest baby in the NBA!!!! I can't stand his whining and
boobing. He is NOT a team player he is a constant "Me Monster" and we
don't need that on this team. His little stunt he pulled with Houston about
his surgery shows what little reguard he has for his team or any team! Keep him
out of here...he is a cancer for the locker room!!
To the above comment; | 10:25 a.m. July 4, 2009
The Jazz do NOT need to rebuild. I agree with the majority of the comments so
far, the Jazz would benefit from moving one or two players, but they in no sense
need to rebuild. Sure Boozer and AK are overpaid and not living up to it, but
D-Will has lived up to it by being the leader of his team and is still getting
better. I think that if the Jazz do stay healthy this year and work out a few
kinks, they will be a title contending team (although LA and the Spurs are
looking more intimidating than ever).

Hello, Mr.GM of UT Jazz, wait until Summer 2010 and,
see what the market offer and, have a good leverage in the trading business for AK ...
I'm not expert in Basketball ( The way the Mr.GM of UT Jazz is ) but in the bottom line : This is business...
AK stay, T-Mac ? I wish the best to him, but far away to UT !

It's a horrible trade, but works easily.
Harpring and AK = $22.951 million
Tracy = $23.239 million
Houston throws in a first round draft pick and $3 million, buys out and releases Matt, and 30 days later Matt rejoins the Jazz for the veteran's minimum, something like $1.2 million, and only half counts toward the cap.

Idahoan | 11:40 a.m. July 4, 2009
Bad idea in my opinion. I think of McGrady as only being a scorer. Kirilenko
does a lot more. Remember he's had some games where he's at or near a
5-5, or getting at least five things each in at least five categories, ie
points, rebounds, steals, blocks, assists. And bringing on a guy who is an
injury magnet? It looks to me like as bad an idea of the Raul Lopez guy from
Spain a couple years ago. He was a great ballplayer, but it seems the Jazz spent
way too much on his knee injuries.

This trade has nothing to do with the basketball standpoint. It's a way to
free up big time $ for next summer with the huge expiring contract and to get
rid of Kirilenko horrible contract who will be still carrying 17+M in
2010-2011.
Utah would be carrying about what... 50M in expitings?
That's so good for next year...

there are other worthless players the jazz need to get rid of.

I think it's a great trade!! Lets get A.k. out of here that's what we
all want right? Why not tade him for shack or Kobe for D-will Boozer and memo I
think the Lakers would go for that trade. Come on Jazz fans that would be dumb
getting T-mac he can't even get out of the first round of the playoffs
remember? Do we wan't another Boozer who only plays in 35 games a season
let's just keep the team we got for one more time together and make a run
for it. Maybe with a new coach like Horney would be great coach for the Jazz

35 games played last season! O'Conner is trying to make the Jazz better
right. The Rocket's wouldn't trade T-Mac for Pop-Gun straight up. That
would be one of the clueless trades in NBA history. Then again.... 35 GAMES
PLAYED LAST SEASON!
