[h3]TRADES: Boozer 3-way deal dead?[/h3]
Carlos Boozer | Jazz | Interested: Pistons? Bulls? Trail Blazers? Jazz?
ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard updated the NBA's story of the day on the noon edition of Sportscenter by stating the proposed three-way trade between the Utah Jazz, Portland Trail Blazers and Chicago Bulls centered around Carlos Boozer is dead. At least in its current incarnation.
Broussard quoted Blazers GM Kevin Pritchard as saying bluntly that it's "not going to happen," despite his team's strong desire to bring in G Kirk Hinrich from Chicago.
Speculation is that the Jazz will continue to try and deal Boozer in order to free up the cap space to retain Paul Millsap. Broussard also suggested one possible match could be with Detroit, with Richard Hamilton entering the mix.
Pritchard won't give up Bayless. Once again, overvaluing his players.
They've been involved in damn near every single free agent, trade, rumor, everything, and he won't pull the trigger. All praise the great andwonderful.

Yes it's smart from him to make his roster loaded, sure. But he's not making his players happy. You're making other GMs catch wind that he's doing dirty business.
He's going to have a lot of unhappy players in Orlando the way he's going..

Damn man, this Gortat thing really got you locked up. Turk left because he wanted 50 million dollars, not because the Magic mistreated him.Originally Posted by JapanAir21

What other dirty moves has Smith pulled to upset anybody? They were all pretty happy a few weeks ago when he got VC.
They're spending 50 million dollars now between Gortat and Bass if they get him, but we gave them cap flexibility.
I'm not saying he's done any other dirty moves, but we did business the proper way with Bass. He was an UFA, and Gortat is a RFA, I know that. But we let him go because he wanted a bigger role, a role he'll get in Orlando. Gortat WANTS to come to Dallas so he can have a larger role, that's clear. Otis Smith may keep him on his leash because he doesn't want to lose him for nothing, even though we just helped him get a 10 million dollar trade exception? Then he could turn around and trade him to a team like Houston who needs a big man?
And Big J, Gortat is upset. He wanted to go to the Mavericks, the moneys the same, but the role isn't. It doens't matter about winning or losing if he's going to make a bigger impact somewhere rather than smoewhere else.

Memphis please don't be stupid. PLEASE make a move to take on Boozer's contract and give them some flexibility to re-sign Millsap.

A starting gig, a majority of the minutes at the Center position night-in and night-out, potential to get another contract further down the line.Originally Posted by CP1708

But what role is he going to have in Dallas? Start, and that's it. Dampier is the same guy.
He still not gettin shots over Dirk, Jet, or JHo, Marion and Kidd will have the ball/get touches, Barrea and Gortat would be fightin for 4th-5th man status every night.
That's not THAT much of an improvement from ORLD. There he gets to work against D12 everyday, get better that way, and maybe get 20-25 minutes a night. For the same money. Gortat got nothin to be mad about.
Yeah, I don't either, but I just have a real bad feeling about Otis Smith and his intentions.
I wouldn't underestimate a healthy Spurs teamOriginally Posted by CP1708
