How do these trades sound?

Question

Trade 1: MIA sends Shawn Marion and Daequan Cook to UTA for Carlos Boozer and Matt Harpring

This trade would help Miami get Boozer, the dominating big man they have wanted. Also, Miami would add veteranship experience with Matt Harpring. The trio of Wade-Boozer-Beasley would make Miami a playoff caliber team. Utah would get an elite defender and talented player in Marion and add some youth in Cook. Marion's defense would definitely make Utah more competitive in the Western Conference. The trio of Williams-Okur-Marion would be very successful.

Trade 2: CHI sends Ben Gordon, Joakim Noah, and Andres Nocioni to DET for Rasheed Wallace and Juan Dixon.

Detroit hasn't been happy with Rasheed lately. Plus, it has been wanting to get younger. It can accomplish that with the talent of Noah, Gordan, and Nocioni. All three would be solid contributors of the bench. Chicago would get some veteranship experience with Wallace and Dixon. Wallace would bring championship experience.

Answer 2

I don't think the Jazz would even give up Carlos Boozer (Utahs' second best player) by himself for both of them. Also they are in love with Matt Harpring, so there is no way that the Jazz do that trade.

Answer 3

I don't like the trades, here's why:

Trade 1: yes it's great for MIA, but for Utah they pretty much have the same player as AK47 in Marion, and they wouldn't want to get rid of Boozer, because the west is loaded with good PF's.

Trade 2:  Definatly not as bad as trade 1, but CHI likes Jokim Noah, and they're getting much older by picking up 'Sheed & and Juan Dixon, advantage DET

Answer 4

no way is Utah giving up Boozer for another SF when they already have AK47, who is just like Marion.

No way are the Pistons going to give up Sheed without getting a solid big man, either at center or at PF.
