3. Cooler Heads PrevailJazz Send:
Matt Harpring
Kyle Korver
Kyrylo Fesenko
Ante Tomic (Rights to)

Jazz Adjusted Depth Chart:

Positives/Negatives for Jazz:+ Winning Mentality: There's little coincidence the Blazers fell apart after Rasheed left for Detroit.
+ Interior Defense: Despite getting older, Rasheed is a very good defensive player
+/- Bench Production: Wallace is one of the best scoring bigs in the NBA, although the Jazz give up their current bench in Harpring and Korver.
+/- Future Flexibility: Wallace has a huge yet expiring contract. Korver will likely opt out next season, and Harpring's knees are all but done.
- Mental Stability: Rasheed leads the NBA in technical fouls every year.
- Sloan's Respons: Jerry Sloan and Rasheed Wallace we be nose to nose about every other game.

4. The Missing PieceJazz Send: (to a 3rd party team)
Andrei Kirilenko
Rockets Send: (to Utah)
Shane Battier
Bobby Jackson
Jazz Adjusted Depth Chart:
PG - Deron Williams - Brevin Knight - Ronnie Price
SG - Ronnie Brewer - Kyle Korver - Morris Almond
SF - Shane Battier - CJ Miles
PF - Carlos Boozer - Paul Millsap
C -Mehmet Okur - Jarron Collins
*This trade would likely only occur with a 3rd party team to receive Kirilenko, and send additional players to the Rockets.
Positives/Negatives for Jazz:+/- Team defense: AK and Battier are both excellent defenders who can guard 3 positions
+ Outside Shooting: Battier shot 39% from behind the arc last season which is an upgrade over Kirilenko's 31% career average.
+ Mental Toughness: Battier is one of the toughest players in the NBA, meanwhile AK cried during the playoffs.
+ Value: Battier comes at a much cheaper price with arguably greater production. Jackson's contract expires at the end of the year, freeing up money to sign Boozer
- Shot Blocking: The Jazz once again lose their only real shot blocking presence.
Would you pull the trigger on any of these moves? Would the opposing team? We'd love to hear your thoughts.

I think cleveland would be interested in kirilenko. He'd add to their defense and he can have more freedom to be their second option.
I think we might have a chance to move okur to the clippers for chris kaman at the trade deadline if their camby + kaman frontcourt doesn't work out offensively.
I doubt Cleveland shows too much interest in Kirilenko. AK's greatest asset is his shot blocking, and they've got Ben Wallace holding down a ridiculous contract. To have $30M locked up in AK and Wallace, two defensive minded centers, would be foolish for the Jazz. If Cleveland makes a move, I would expect them to go after scoring relief...especially after the Delonte West fiasco. They may be interested in a pure scorer like Morris Almond, or a shooter like Korver. Problem is, I just don't like the pieces in return. If the Cavs included lucrative enough draft picks, maybe I'd consider them packaged with Wallace.
Wallace + 1st Round pick for Kirilenko and Almond? I think the Cavs would buy in to that, would the Jazz? Well, lets think about it for a minute...Wallace expires in 2 seasons, one before AK. That would be when a Millsap extension takes effect. The 2010 season would have some serious trouble financially, so you'd have to shed expiring deals like Korver. It's a possibility, but maybe not the best scenario.
If Wallace comes in return, you've got something worth talking about. But that's a terrible contract to bring on when things are already getting sticky.
The Camby/Kaman duo is intriguing. I was surprised Camby went for so cheap. He would have helped the Jazz immensely, but no way the Nuggets trade him to a division rival. Kaman has been up and down throughout his career, but I believe he's struggled when playing next to Brand.
I like Kaman in return, but he'd likely produce better next to Okur than Boozer. So that would make Boozer and Kaman the main pieces for each other. I just don't see the Jazz giving up Boozer for Kaman. Boozer is an elite NBA player. Kaman is second or third tier.
Nice comments. Unique and possible in terms of partners buying in.
I think we could send AK to Orlando, Orlando gives us Turkoglu and sends Battier to Memphis along with either Bogans, Redick, or a pick (depending on Memphis' choice) then we get Milicic from Memphis. It doesn't help our financial situation out. But I think it improves our team. We get a great small forward in return and a solid back up center who can block shots and has some offensive ability. I believe it makes Orlando better because Rashard Lewis was playing PF for them last year. AK would play the 4 now. And Memphis' GM is stupid so he probably would. But they actually would get decent players in return.
I like the Battier trade or the Redd trade.
ACtually, though, I wish the Jazz would re-entertain the idea of a Kierlinko-Shawn Marion trade. I think Kielinko would give us the biggest bang for the buck, and I'm pretty much sick of his inconsistency.
