David Lee, Carlos Boozer 3-team Trade? Dont Laugh...

This is kind of related/ reaction to the post put up by UASun re: Lamar Odom - i dont think Lakers will agree to see Odom in a Suns uniform.

I agree with some that David Lee would be a better fit besides Amare with his youth and ability to run. So i dont know if this will work: 3 team trade Suns get Lee from NYK; Utah sends Boozer to NYK (a one year contract Walsh covets for a star that they might extend longterm to lure Lebron in 2010); Suns sends Pavlovic and combination of other 1-year contracts e.g. Lopez, Dudley, Amundson? (Utah still get their 2010 cap relief and save some right now due to Pavlovic buy out opition plus the combination Sun sends out will be around 8-9mil as compared to Boozers 12mil.)

Suns would be giving up a couple of young good players (Amundson, Dudley, etc) but Lee would fill in the gap a lot better as a young player we can develop ove ther the years. IMO i would even give up Earl Clark if need be.

I WOULD RATHER SEND JRICH TO UTAH FOR BOOZER THEY MAKE ABOUT THE SAME. THEN SLIDE STAT TO CENTER BOOZER AT 4 HILL AT 3 BARBOSA AT 2 NASH AT THE POINT.

IMO David Lee

would be a better fit, BUT i do like Boozer too and definitely like the other positives in a Richardson-Boozer trade (opportunity to slide Barbs to the 2, get rid of JRich too-big contract, etc.) But I doubt if Jerry Sloan would take in JRich and his porous defense. And the Jazz i think want to shed salaries by 2010 to balance out Millsaps new contract – JRich contract is even bigger than Boozers and run till 2011
