Rip, Maxiell, and a 1st rounder for Chris Bosh? Colangelo can't be that dumb.
Boozer and Okur took their player options for this upcoming season. I've heard the Boozer for Hamilton deal rumored and, if so, then the Pistons should obviously do it. I don't see what's in it for the Jazz, though. Taking Hamilton doesn't help them keep Millsap - they'd have to trade Boozer straight into someone's cap space.
I like Stuckey's game, kinda. I completely agree with you, though, he's not a PG. At all.

You're right, I didn't realize that. Had this seasons media guide must have been printed before the contract.
Toronto would probably want Prince. The only reason they should trade Bosh is if he tells them he won't resign. At that point, people will not be willing to give up as much knowing they'll have a chance to sign him in the off-season.
The Boozer thing might still work. The Jazz want to avoid paying too much in the Luxury Tax and Okur and Millsap will both come cheaper then Boozer from what I've seen and 11 million for Hamilton is a good deal if you think his game fits with your team. Hamilton instead of Boozer saves them as much as 5-6 million dollars.
I think combined salaries have to match within 10% or something like that for a trade to be allowed, so Utah would probably want expiring contracts or long term deals for players they like.
