and the Thunder where talking about trading Luke because they have 2 good points already and Marshals contract,

tell my your opinions i know there probably somethings that could be fixed

Answer 1

this trade would force kirilenko to the bench, or move durant to shooting guard. umm. tell you the truth, i don't know what to make of this. utah can make very good use out of the expiring contracts, and ridnour is definately an upgrade from price as backup point. actually, i like it. i like it alot, but utah fans might grumble at the mere suggestion of an ak trade.

Answer 2

Kirilenko is in the Jazz's core. and he plays good weakside D, getting tons of blocks/steals. and an average on-ball defender. and he's known on taking days-off, or should i say games-off.

this won't do good for Jazz, they already got a decent backup PG in Brevin Knight then they get Ridnour, Marshall, Griffin (pretty much scrubs except Ridnour whos decent)

I wont do it if I was Jazz's GM

Answer 3

In my opinion Utah could easily survive without AK47 and Marshall can bring some 3 point shooting until his contract is up.  Ridnour is a pretty solid backup PG, and They would probably just send Griffin to the D-League.  It can't hurt OKC to have a good player on there already pretty poor roster.  So yea this trade would be good, but it probably won't happen.

Answer 4

What up AKA,

ithink the quality of the deal will come down to whether the Jazz can keep Boozer.  If they made this deal- they would be doing it to free up some cap space-- which they would hope to use that money to re-sign Boozer (since they already extended Williams earlier this off-season).  Losing Kirelinko is not that big of a deal for the Jazz-especially considering they've been trying to trade him for two year- and they don't want to get stuck with his contract for 3 years.

Not a bad deal at all if the Jazz utilized that money to keep Boozer in Utah.
