Boozer on the block?

From ESPN's Chad Ford:

andy (vegas):I feel like in 10 years we will look back and laugh that we ever thought softish,
jump shooting, injury prone Boozer was more valuable then tough as nails, scrappy, and savvy Milsap. Thoughts?

SportsNation Chad Ford: That's a little harsh, though I agree that Milsap looks like the answer to the
Boozer conundrum. If he can get healthy, I think the Jazz will look to move Boozer for something
before the trade deadline.

Brad (SLC):What about Boozer to the Knicks for David Lee and Malik Rose's expiring deal?

SportsNation Chad Ford: While I'm sure David Lee would be a Jerry Sloan favorite, not sure why the
Knicks would do that. Boozer would eat up a bunch of their cap space on a new deal and
remember, he's the guy who screwed the Cavs and LeBron to bolt to Utah. Not sure how
LeBron feels about that.

This is classic. Screw you Houston:

valrulez (Shoreline, WA):Hey Chad, Do you see the Rockets trying to unload TMac
because of last nights announcement?

SportsNation Chad Ford: They've been working on that for a while. They too had a shot with the
Pistons this summer, but it fell through. I don't see how they can get any type of equal
return for him given his constant injury issues. Best bet is to pray he's healthy when the playoffs roll around.

So what do TBJ readers say? Do the Jazz try and move Boozer? If so, who for? Comment away...

Dang, I would love to get David Lee here. He would be the perfect back up big man for the Jazz. The unfortunate truth here is that the Jazz can not bring back anything in a trade. They are already at the luxury tax line for next year so it's either Boozer or Milsap, but cant be both if we believe that Larry Miller is not going to go over the cap.

I think that the Jazz need to find a trade partner that can take on Boozer, send us an expiring contract and good first round pick. Teams like the Bobcats, the Thunder, the Bulls, the Grizzlies would all fit that bill.

The trade I like the most for right now would be for the Jazz to send Booz and Harpring (Combined Salary is 17.5 mil.) to Miami for Marion (Salary is 17.1 so that would work) and a 1st round pick. I know its not anything new or exciting, but it makes the most sense to me. The Heat would be able to get Boozer locked up, we get rid of Harpring and get another good pick to go along with the Knicks in 2010.

What did T-Mac say last night anyway?

That he was going to take a few weeks off.

K'OC said that Larry would be willing to go into the Luxery tax if it was only for a short period (1 year). That means he isn't ruling out keeping both Sap and Booze.

I hope Utah(sucks) picks up Marbury. A suck player with a suck attitude for a suck team in a suck town. Utah deserves a jerk like him.

hatejazz, you live in Utah you dumb ass. Plus, I just saw you wearing an Adam Keefe jersey carrying your WNBA Ball into Golds Gym last night during "Kids Open Court Night." Go home Creepy.

I would be up for bringing back a true small forward, another big and a first round pick. So I would be up for trading for Tayshaun Prince and Maxiell/Johnson, or Deng, Tyrus Thomas, and a 1st round pick. We would probably have to throw Collins in the deal for roster space purposes, but then we could move AK to backup 3 or 4 and have a true small forward.

I like both of those options. However I don't know how Tyrus Thomas would do in the J-Slo boot camp.
