I know he isn't a Jerry Sloan type of guy, but Sloan loves players with passion and who want to win and that is AI in a nutshell. The Jazz are very injured and Boozer is likely to be out. Jazz have great talent with some hard nosed talented vets. Anyways, Utah has Korver & Harpring, 2 players that befriended AI in Philly playing alongside him and the Jazz need more offensive firepower plus steals and someone that gets to the line cause they are perennially one of the best ft shooting teams in the NBA that has problems getting to the line, which is bad cause they themselves foul a lot.

I love the Jazz cause my grandpa was also a die hard fan of them and I grew up on the Knicks and the Jazz, Stockton + Malone to be exact. If my 2nd favorite player of all-time tied with TD in that honor, AI goes to my 2nd favorite team tied with SA that would be cool. I'll get the jersey.

PG. DERON WILLIAMS
SG. ALLEN IVERSON
SF. RONNIE BREWER
PF. PAUL MILLSAP
C. MEHMET OKUR
6. Andrei Kirilenko
7. Whomever they get in trading Boozer
8. Kyle Korver
9. C.J. Miles
10. Eric Maynor
11. Matt Harpring

12. Ronnie Price/Wesley Matthews/Kosta Koufos/or whomever they get in trade for Boozer

Nah, don't do it. Maynor and Matthews are both playing great for rookies, and I think they can get it together quickly here. They aren't a bad team, and bringing in AI, while it may slightly improve the offense (still possibility it hurts it), could kill team chemistry, as it would be easy to see the possibility of AI clashing with a hard-ass, old school coach like Sloan.

I hear you, but even though he is making most of his minutes and then some Maynor isn't playing all that much in terms of minutes (14 MPG). Also he can get around the same minutes maybe even a little more cause AI shouldn't be the 40 MPG player he is accustomed to be on this team he should play, like 35-37 MPG. Also Matthews is doing very well, but do you think that he will get all of those minutes let alone make the rotation if Miles, Korver, & Harpring weren't injured. Maybe, he'll squeeze into the rotation, but if AI comes along it doesn't change Matthews situation all that much and if he does make the rotation he can get some good minutes subbing in for AI and Maynor for Williams. I understand the chemistry could be a problem, but look at it this way what's the big risk. Boozer wnats gone, you got a good team and should get a player like AI that can help in the following ways I said, and if it doesn't pan out ihe's only under contract for this season, and he is worth 2 mil that's petty change for what AI's salary was when he was in Philly. Plus, Utah gets NY's first round pick this season because of Isiah Thomas just handing over our 2010 1st round pick some years ago when the Knicks made the trade for Marbury, so Utah is in a good position anyway.

Utah is a team heading in the right direction though. Adding A.I. to the mix could just undo all of that, and while there is a potential for a great upside, I'm just not sure if he's worth the risk.
