I just heard on the radio that Jefferson and Milsap might be on the block.

I wonder if they will deal AK47 too.  Any ideas on what trades can get him in green?  I like him even better than Battier, but he makes so much money

AK47 @ $17 million? A buyout would be the only way because there's no way we can match that salary.

Have I mentioned I love Gordon Hayward? He reminds me of Ray Allen. I doubt they're giving him up though.

I like the idea of Utah blowing up their team good and proper. Enter a full rebuilding process.

Rebuilding through the draft is probably their best course of action. Give Favors time to grow as well as giving him plenty of minutes and opportunities to shine. And giving Utah their best shot at adding top quality young players to put around Favors.

Yeah, I think it's best to move Big Al and Millsap. Collect more picks / prospects and cap flexibility.

AK has been on the block for a while.

Utah's motivation is to get under the luxury tax. Have they done so with the D-Will trade?

Meanwhile, how about that Northwest Division?

Denver: retooling
Utah: retooling
Portland: still hoping on Roy and Oden
Minnesota: still run by Kahn
Oklahoma City: ascendant

No, they apparently didn't a ton of money.  They went from being like $6 million to $4 million.  (Too lazy to look.)

Wow.  I didn't realize he made that much?  Why did they give him a contract like that? :o

Is there any chance he gets bought out?

There was a buyout rumor back in November but nothing nothing since.

As a big fan of Larry H. Miller, he has to be rolling over right now.  This situation in SLC is going from bad to worse.
