We continue with the saga of the Jazz trying to figure out what to do with Boozer and Millsap. Currently we are waiting to see if they will match the contract that Portland put out there to try and still Millsap away. The offer sounds like it will be front loaded and average out to be $32 million over the next 4 years. The Jazz have said multiple times through out the year that they will be very aggressive in trying to keep Millsap and if they don't match Portland's offer they will come out looking like the bad guy and have many upset fans. The Carlos Boozer situation is a tough pill to swallow. We owe him a lot of money and nobody in Utah feels like he is worth it. He is a 20 and 10 guy, but doesn't play any defense and people question his heart and desire to win. He seems like a cancer in the locker room and is always hurt. All of these concerns and the state of the economy is greatly hurting our options in trading him for anything of quality.
It seems like most Jazz fans want Boozer gone, no matter what the cost, and Millsap to stay. The one thing that I think a lot of fans are not thinking about is in Jerry Sloan's system a strong power forward who can post up and shoot the mid range jumper is crucial. It doesn't seem like we can be successful without a better offensive power forward than Millsap. This takes me back to my previous post and the fact that Jerry Sloan is now hurting our team (again) because we can adopt a better system to fit Millsap (a small power forward), Andrei Kirelinko (a weak side defender), Kyle Korver (our shooting threat - which Jerry HATES), and Ronnie Brewer (a slasher and runner).
Our team is young and could use a coach who will play to their talents, not his old system....
My take is...Trade Boozer for a defender, Trade Memo for a defender and let's adopt a new system. How is it that other teams can rebuild and become power houses and the Jazz never scare anybody....I want to see some defense and heart.

SO I think that Boozer should go he is just dragging the team down I would like to see Odom come to the Jazz but fat chance that will happen. I really like millsap and how hard he works, and brewer he is awesome. But thats a girls opinion so take it for what its worth. I know mike will have more to say cause lets face it you and mike just know everything about sports.
