It’ll be hard to cure because you have Memo and Boozer starting who clearly are both highly influential players for the Jazz and both are necessary scorers for the team. To upgrade you’ll have to lose one of them and that’s a hard move.

Another option is to upgrade their perimeter defense. The Rockets defense is exceptional because of Battier and the rest of their perimeter defenders. When Yao went down they were able to keep their defense at a very high level (with low minutes from Deke) with their 6-6 to 6-9 big men who provide no shot blocking. The reason was their perimeter defense.

The Jazz already have a very good defender at the point in Deron Williams. In Brewer they have a developing defender who would be a very good 2nd defender on the wing. Unfortunately Kirilenko is fairly equal to Brewer as a perimeter defender and nowhere close to a Battier.

If the Jazz can upgrade their perimeter D there’s a good chance they can live with Boozer-Okur because of their production offensively and quality rebounding. Both Boozer and Okur are also capable post defenders, where they struggle most is with their help defense which is fairly poor.

Replacing Millsap with a Varejao type would also be a big gain for the club. He’s a free agent next year.

He’s only an average one-on-one perimeter defender. He’s one of the best shot blockers in the NBA who can wreak havoc around the basket for opposing. Keeping him out on the perimeter stops him from using his best skills defensively.

Offensively it’s his perimeter skills as a power forward that make him such a special talent. Regular power forwards can’t handle/pass the ball like he can. His scoring suddenly looks versatile and he’s extremely dangerous driving on slower players. Putting him out there as a small forward …. all those skills become distinctly average or worse.

The Jazz are killing his career by playing him as a small forward. He needs to leave.

Kirilenko is also hurting the Jazz because of his inability to play small forward. Trade him for a real small forward who can play quality one-on-one defense and provide some offense … it would transform that team.

- Deron Williams in Las Vegas early this week.

See? Defense and shot-blocking.

he had nights with these # of boards:

vs. lakers 2nd round: 10, 13, 11, 19

vs. htown 1st round: 13, 10, 11, 18, 16

last 25 games of reg. season: 13, 15, 14, 17, 16, 10, 10, 10, 18, 11, 14, 12, 17, 13, 11

he’s also a clutch shooter and basically, not the guy the jazz need to get rid of.

the SG problem will sort itself out. hopefully. utah’s a good squad with young players. they currently have 14 guys under contract, and there’s no playing time for another wingman: (brewer, kirilenko, korver, harpring, almond, maybe miles) all need more than 10 mpg. brewer plays 24 mpg (half the game), AK plays liek 30. getting a guy who chucks shots isn’t going to be good for team chemistry.
