Jazz fans - would you take this blockbuster?

I think Utah could pull a blockbuster if we had the balls.  Imagine this:

Shawn Marion, Mark Blount, Udonis Haslem and pick #3 in the draft

for

Carlos Boozer, Andrei Kirilenko, Jason Hart, pick #23, and both 2nd rounders

Deron, Brewer, Michael Beasley, and Millsap would be the calling card of the Jazz for a very long time, and that core would be strong on both sides of the court. If young players like Almond, Fesenko and Miles emerge and you add in people like Korver, Harpring, Okur if he doesn't opt out, and other additional pieces, then 2009/10 through 2013/14 could be glory days for Utah.

Marion is slightly better than Kirilenko at everything, so we take that swap all day. Haslem is to the defensive end what Boozer is to the offensive end, and Boozer is a player Miami truly covets. Blount doesn't do much for Utah but add a big body, but Miami is desperately looking to get out of his contract.

Not sure that Miami would do this trade, but they'd much rather have Boozer for 4-5 years than have Marion for 1. AK's contract might turn them off, but he has more value than Haslem if Boozer is there. Pick 2 is a lot to give up, but looks like Miami can't decide on a player anyway and Booz is a sure thing. Getting 3 draft picks could entice Miami since it only has 9 players under contract for next year right now.

The financial gain for Utah would be enormous. AK, Boozer and pick #23 would combine to make over $31 million in 2009/10. Marion's deal expires after next season so Haslem, Blount and pick #2 would only be $20 million combined. We'd have the money next summer to re-sign Millsap and start paying Deron's max deal without going over the luxury tax. After 2009/10, Harpring and Blount come off the books adding even more flexibility when we have the Knicks 1st rounder and our own in the summer of 2010. This trade sends the clear message to Deron that this is his team, and I think we all agree that he is by far the most important piece to Utah's future.

I'm not sure if this is a possibility, but I know the following about Miami is true:

• they are not set on who they are taking at #2
• they really want Boozer (or Brand) and will pursue him next summer anyway
• they are willing to trade pick #2 for a proven player to put with Wade
• they are trying to shed Blount's contract
• they will want to shed Haslem's contract if they pick up Boozer (or Brand)

With those, why wouldn't Miami do this deal? Boozer is probably better than Beasley ever will be because that is just playing realistic odds on who makes it and how well they do. Plus, Miami would be better suited of a duo of Wade and Boozer rather than Wade and Marion since Boozer can offer a post offense.

If Utah does this, Marion will probably only play with Utah one year. One main appeal is that AK's terrible contract will be shed to afford the promising young players on this team. After Marion leaves, there would be a starting lineup of Deron, Brewer, Beasley, Millsap and Okur and also run a small lineup of Deron, Brewer, Korver/Almond, Beasley and Millsap that could be nasty.
