Big Al to San Antonio for Tony Parker. The Jazz get a so called “front-line point guard,” and the Spurs get Duncan a long-waiting frontcourt help.

The Suns will send Kendall Marshall and Michael Beasley for Al Jefferson. The Jazz get a young and promising true PG and a young SF, and the Suns get their go-to guy for a season.

DeAndre Jordan and Eric Bledsole for Jefferson ? That would cut out the heart of the Clippers moral , BUT it would probably make them better . Blake wouldn’t be happy though . Bledsole may not want to leave the Clippers . He’s playing 18 to 20 minutes a game in a second team role and loving it . He might just be a top 8 Point Guard in the NBA right now .

Harkless? When did ORL get in the mix?? I like where your going with the Bledsoe for Al Jeff. I’m sure Utah would do it.

Or something like this

http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=csqn2v9

A deal where the clipps bring in Al Jefferson and send out The rising Eric Bledsoe and maybe Deandre Jordan. They can’t get Bledsoe the minutes with Chris Paul, Billups, and Crawford in the rotation and Al Jefferson makes them an even bigger contender right now. Bledsoe is never going to start with Chris Paul there, so eventually he should be traded. The Jazz are going young and bring in Bledsoe and Harkless.

While Westbrook, would be nice, I find this much more likely.
The Monta Ellis experiment isn’t going to well over in Milaukee, so the Jazz recieve him, Epke Udoh (needs a change of scenery, and could provide decent minutes at the 4 or 5) and maybe someone like Doron Lamb while the Bucks get a true inside presence in Jefferson and take on Raja Bell. Utah will probably get much less from either Millsap or Jefferson than we will expect, though. They are both unrestricted free agents this year and there is no true reason that they should sign an extension now, so they will likely be able to test the market. Also, Utah will probably take less because of not wanting to lose him for nothing, though. Yet again, what they did with Deron Williams was pure gold, so I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Is Baron Davis still at home ?Is Starbury coming home ?Which Kentucky PG is a freshman ? You know Coach will tell him to go NBA draft.

Add another decent piece from Utah like Mo Williams and maybe a draft pick and that’s a decent trade

If the Thunder’s GM gets a little nasty and decides that RW jacks up too many shots that should taken by Durant , this trade would make sense for both teams:

Russell Westbrook and Perry Jones III for Al Jefferson and Raja Bell

Look, they have to move one or both of them before they lose them in free agency. Maybe throw in Royal Ivey.

By: jimmygrahamchrisivory

jimmygrahamchrisivory — Sun, 16 Dec 2012 05:38:40 +0000

They’re currently a 7th seed, probably could be a lot higher if they weren’t losing so many games on the road.. 4-10 on the road, 9-2 at home

Contending for what? They are 13-12.

jimmygrahamchrisivory — Sun, 16 Dec 2012 05:07:54 +0000

It’s a shame if they do because it looks like Utah finally has a contending team on a nightly basis thanks to those two, especially at home. Both are legit All-Stars, but then again with Kanter and Favors waiting in the wings moving either one would be huge if they could get a great scorer at SF or SG in return or a lottery pick.

I think moving them will depend on what the team’s record looks like by time the trade deadline comes.

Theres way that could happen, Al is way too expensive for Minnesota to take, they could trade Millsap in a package though. You can swap Barea or Ridnour and the trade could still work.

I would trade them both – neither will be worth to the Jazz what they will command on the open market.

I think the key is to take back picks and youth (as well as the inevitable expiring contract or two to make the money match). If they really want to impress, they’ll add Raja Bell in with one of them.

Minnesota should do JJ Barrea for Al Jefferson. I’m sure that would make Kevin Love very happy.

Yeah, for which “front-line point guard” on the Lakers? Steve Blake?? Please, rj.

Utah won’t get full value, especially trading for a good point guard.

Why would Utah want to help the lakers. Plus they have nothing to give in return.

By: tubal22

tubal22 — Sun, 16 Dec 2012 02:31:46 +0000

Why would Utah want to do that?

They’ve got plenty of big men, and plenty of below average guards.

Sho nuff! How bout a deal that includes both Spencer Hawes and Malik Wayns for either of em.
