I think 6'2 SG Ben Gordon would be an excellent fit on Utah with Deron Williams, Ronnie Brewer, Andrei Kirilenko, Carlos Boozer, Mehmet Okur, Paul Millsap, Matt Harpring, Kyle Korver, Ronnie Price, and company. The only thing is Utah would have to give up one of those players. Utah acquired SF Kyle Korver last season for his outside shooting ability and BG would give them more firepower and fit that lineup really good, whether he started or came off the bench. Let's say Ben Gordon was re-signed between 8-11million/year, the only players that would work straight up would be, Boozer $11,593,000.00, and Okur $8,500,000.00. Let's face it, we're not getting Boozer, and Okur is Utah's only center so why would they trade him, plus he plays lousy defense and just shoots 3 pointers most of the time. Some other salaries on Utah include AK-47(Andrei Kirilenko), owed $15,080,000.00 next season, Matt Harpring 6,000,000.00(getting old, with knee problems and we already have Nocioni/Deng at the 3.) Deron Williams-$5,069,000.00, Kyle Korver 4,773,000.00. Ronnie Brewer 1,834,000.00, Paul Millsap 797,581. That would make it difficult to work out a deal with the Jazz. I can see the Jazz low-balling the Bulls with a Matt Harpring, Kyle Korver, (a combined salary of 10,773,000.00) and next-year's #1 pick, which will probaly be between #25-30. The Bulls would be foolish to accept that deal. What if they added 6'7 SF Andres Nocioni about 8,000,000.00 next year with BG at about 9million-that would total 17,000.000.00 The jazz could send back Kirilenko and 6'8 PF Paul Millsap-an underated 2nd round pick from a few years ago who rebounds and is very effective. I don't see Utah trading Millsap though, especially with Boozer being a free-agent pretty soon.
