This first official post at the Bring the Thunder sports blog is essentially a microcosm of what this blog will entail. It's a fairly inconsequential idea for a trade between two of the more obscure NBA franchises. Without further a due:
The perfect Carlos Boozer Trade
Utah Jazz forward Carlos Boozer has hinted, according to Peter 'The Beard' Vescey, that he wants to play in New Jersey, possibly. This then provides one of the better scenarios that the Jazz could hope for.
The Nets receive Carlos Boozer and Kosta Koufos
The Jazz get Brook Lopez and Bobby Simmons expiring contract, and Eduardo Najera
This works for a few reasons. Boozer is better than Lopez right now, and I think the Nets wouldn't mind taking a shot with VC, Boozer, Harris nucleus while they still have to pay Carter. Also, if the entire experiment sucks, they can just let go or sign and trade Boozer, and progress with the youth movement, with Koufos serving as a B team Lopez. Also while Simmons contract has value as an expiring deal, in this dismal economy the Nets could actually pay $11 million to an all-star instead of the virtually non-existent Robert Simmons (Bobby sounded too youthful, like he could actually play in a basketball game).
The Jazz in turn get a building block that would likely thrive under sloan, enjoy Utah, and could grow with Deron Williams and CJ I would walk 500 Miles. Interesting side note, the Jazz would also get to keep a Stanford man on their roster with the contracts of Jarron Collins and Brevin Knight expiring, something they have had since 1993. And just to sweeten the deal, Edjuardo Najera makes his long awaited debut in Utah, the place he was born to set picks and snarl.
Hope that post was as good for you as it was for me.
