Hate check your stats. That was “Craptain Kirk” that led in turnovers. Why can’t they trade him? Because nobody wants him and that contract he will never be worth.

Get of little BG. I’m from the Chi and I’ll tell you the real deal. No Ben is not a legit 2 guard. He is a great 6th man to come off the bench and give you instant offense. If he had been on a real team he would not seem inconsistent. Our stupid GM and owner have some love affair with Kirk Henrich and over paid him. So now BG mind you, the highest scorer on the team has to compare his salary to what you gave that scrub and he has every right to feel he should make more than him. BG has to take the last shot and nobody says nothing when Captain Kirk turns the ball over 6 times, but Ben gets sent to the bench for being inconsistant. The Bulls management needs their asses whooped for destroying the house that Mike built and putting that garbage on the floor without trying to put some talent around Rose. This season will be ugly and I hope it doesn’t destroy the young rookie.

Its an interesting idea. probably wont happen, but if they could work it out so they could keep ak, booze, williams, okur and brewer, I really think they could benifit from the deal. jazz fans everywhere know we lack defense, thats why putting andre out there for anyone aside from a defensive big man ie. Sam Dalenbert, or okafor is idiotic, and wont happen. package up some bench weight, and send some “roll players” to chicago.

and as for the half wit that says the jazz arent contenders; you probably watches too much ESPN, and not enough basketball. last I checked chicago was barely over .500 in the laughing stock of profesional sports (the NBA’s eastern confrence) and Utah was #1 in the northwest.

well okay, maybe so, but booz still makes an awful lot of money to post 20-10s in the regular season but doesn’t show up in the playoffs.

i’d say build a core around d-will. the league is ruled by guards/ those who face the basket when scoring anyway. it’s the rules man, post-up players look old in the nba because the league wants everyone to play like a guard and not slow it down.

Heartbreaker what are you talking about dude?

Bozz is not, and never has been, anything like Kenyon Martin.
Secondly, If you trade Booz for Gordon then Utah becomes a strictly perimeter team.

Awful, awful idea.

Gordon to the Jazz? Not needed. No improvement. Not happening.

if i were sloan, i’d trade BOOZER for GORDON and not AK47. booze has been great- in the REGULAR season. you saw it last year, d-will stepped it up, and even AK to a certain extent.

the only reason why ak’s number has dropped is because they moved him to the SF spot wc isn’t his natural position. he’s more like that freelancing pf who thrives in the post.

boozer to me is overhyped. yeah he can score, but he can’t defend anyone too. much like a more polished version of kenyon martin back in his nets days.

It’s no coincidence that Dime has been posting a string of youtube videos lately of great 2-guards slaughtering the Utah Jazz.

This trade would definitely not help them in this area. they’ll just get slaughtered even more if they try to start BG. They did the right thing by drafting Brewer, a tall, lanky, defensive 2-guard who can at least hassle all the dudes who light them up on a regular basis. They should stick with him unless they can find a LEGIT sg to trade for.

Well Gordon in Utah could work…they could get D-Will to guard the shooting guards since he has the power to hang with them. But that means on most nights in the West D-Will has to use all his energy chasing the other teams best player or best scorer and that might take a toll on his offense…Utah could use Larry Hughes more but will they pay for him???
