Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor suggests that a trade could be imminent.

O'Connor hinted to the Deseret News that he's spoken to multiple teams about trade possibilities and that a deal could go down as early as Tuesday.

They are also looking for a point guard so Im guessing Boozer to Chicago for Kirk Hinrich and some other players.

good....hopefully we can get the trades kicked off with the jazz getting raped.

[Allanon]

Where's Boozer's new home?

[Indazone]

Please don't make it Houston and the T-Mac trade. Boozer do not want!

this is from morey's most recent interview. pretty good insight here...

On how active they are in their talks:

“It’s pretty active. We went from not really focused on moving him, we were fielding calls to, in fairness to him, we’re now looking more aggressively. It’s been pretty active since we made the decision. I think it’ll heat up now for a week or so as we try and feel out what opportunities might be out there. That said, there’s nothing close right now. We’re gonna be more aggressive. The reality of the league is not much happens before the deadline because everyone just waits everyone out. Some deals get done early and if something makes sense for both sides than we will obviously do it, but I think things are difficult to get done early because teams always try to add a little more, a little more versus just doing a deal that makes sense. It often takes a team a deadline to get the other side to get back to what is a fair deal.”

How he feels about the current roster:

“I think right now we don’t have anybody untouchable. I think if a deal helps us and makes the team better overall, I agree with you that those players are great players and we like all the players on our roster, but in my job it would be a mistake to not consider everything. If we can add something…and right now it’s going to be harder to deal because we feel like we are a pretty good team, so to upgrade it’s going to take fairly significant talent coming back this way. If it presents itself we’ll do it. If not we are very comfortable with the players we have.”

[ffadicted]

[Brazil]

So you think Parker > Williams? :lmao

So you think that for the spurs the biggest problem to be contenders is to move TP ?

No, But upgrading Parker to Williams would be a nice upgrade. I love TP, but Williams is a better point guard.

[Brazil]

I'm not saying otherwise but I think that the Spurs have a lot of bigger problems than their pg spot

[Muser]

Dude I was only joking :lol

I know it's all good ! :toast

[ginobili's bald spot]

:lol What a dumb ass post. Williams >>>> Parker.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

glad you're not spurs GM.


you should be even more glad you're not the GM.

[blkroadrunners]

Dude I was only joking :lol

No you weren't, you were serious!! :nope

[TD 21]

I'm guessing it's a relatively minor two-for-one deal that allows them to fill their vacant and league mandated thirteenth roster spot in addition to acquiring a third point guard, which is a need. With the emergence of Matthews, it could be either Miles or Korver left as the odd man out.

[BlackSwordsMan]

3 way trade deal that moves CP3 to the spurs?
God bless the white jazz

[Muser]

No you weren't, you were serious!! :nope

If the trade I proposed wasn't a pipe dream then i'd be dead serious about it, but seems as Utah don't do it in a million years I joked about it.

[anonoftheinternets]

you should be even more glad you're not the GM.

right .. lets trade a top 5 point guard + fillers for a top 3 point guard. Hooray Suns GM, championship here we come. Spurs have so many other needs right now. Oh and i just saw muser was joking. Carry on then.

[BlackSwordsMan]

Lets just see what happens if the Jazz get Parker, Spurs get Paul and Hornets get Williams.

That should decide who the best point guard in the NBA is.

exactly

[ducks]

booozer for hill

[ffadicted]

Boozer for Hairston

[duhoh]

Boozer for Hairston

that's as good as pau gasol for a pile of crap.

oh wait. :lol

[The TroutBum]

Boozer for a sack of soggy boners.


Please, get it done, KOC.

[Chieflion]

A deal was done. The Jazz needed to fill up the roster so they signed a D-League player.
