Utah Jazz: Heat reportedly aim to bring Boozer to Miami in a 3-way deal

Dump him. He'll just get hurt 2 games into the season and we'll be paying him to sit on the bench in a $10000 suit.

Honestly I don't like any of the trade proposals I've heard, but I guess it's probably not going to benefit the Jazz much if they wanna dump Boozer. Haslem is good, but he's not Boozer.

So do it already! Haslim is a nice player,would of rather traded for Thomas though,

Haslem... ugh

We better get beasley in this deal or else.

Please let it be true!

We're all crossing our fingers. Boozer always leaves his team a little worse off than when he got there, burning every bridge he crosses.

So get it done already.Would of rather traded for Thomas though.

excellent...do it...had boozer opted out we would have received nothing for him anyway so anything we get in a trade now is gravy....the Jazz locker room will immediately look better with that cancer gone....

and for all the people that say he's a 20 and 10 guy ...stats can be deceiving..

Without Beasley this trade is a salary dump.In this "gasol" trade the part of Memphis will be played by Utah.Haslem would be the new back up to the old back up.Throw in the Knick pick and get Beasley in here!!! The trade as constituted is horrible I would rather have Wright than Haslem,
for that much cap space it might be worth it.

I don't know how this trade helps the Jazz other than saving them some money.

Haslem isn't a player that is going to keep us "fun and competitive" and as much as I dislike Boozer; this sounds like a very poor trade.

I don't know understand this team anymore. I hope this is a rumor like the Bulls-Thomas trade was and disappears in the wind.

This offseason is turning into another huge disappointment.

This improves much of anything. If Millsap is going to replace Boozer then Sloan has to adjust the implementation of his offense. The Jazz have to have an SG and SF who can shoot consistently and make their own shots.

Millsap can't run the pick and roll. Does not have an outside shot with range. Does not draw a double team and results in getting the paint packed.

Haslim is a back up PF and those can be had for the MLE. The Jazz are essentially trading Boozer for Haslim.

That really is not bright and that kind of deal can be had any day with a lot of teams.

The big problem is replacing Boozer with Millsap. Millsap does not improve the defense enough to offset his loss of offense and his negative effect on other positions.

The Jazz need the ideal PF. I do not know if a good one is available right now. Lee may be an option but how to get him? Further, will he play defense?

He scores and rebounds better than Millsap but will he fit the Jazz system and he wants more money.

Harp can be traded for a backup PF.

We can do better than that. Beasle and Haslem or no deal.

trade Booz to Miami and AK to Golden State for Turiaf and Randolph. Golden State gets AK and Wright and Haslem. Miami gets Boozer and some filler players to make the numbers match. the Jazz get a young athletic SF and a defensive type in Turiaf. Of course the numbers need to match up.

Agreed. Do it. Unless the draft picks Memphis picks up includes the knicks pick.

Go for it. Haslem would be a decent backup for Millsap. He is a decent rebounder and average on points. At least he's not a detriment to the team the way Boozer is. Heck, Haslem might even improve in the Jazz system since it tends to be based around the PF unlike Miami where it's all about the guards.

Who cares????? It doesn't matter who they get they won't do anything!!

I say we ship both Boozer and AK there for Oneal and Beasley, the salaries work and we get rid of AK's contract for 2 expiring ones.

no trade we dont want scraps hasleem dont care about bball he is so lazy and he would be even worse here we need a good back up power forward with size not some dude who cant shoot

You don't want beasley he is a head case he has been arrested at least 4 or 5 times in the last 2 seasons and has been suspended for team violations. Haslam is a good player, at least he'll play all year long.
