Chicago receives Carlos Boozer (Utah) and Michael Redd (Milwaukee)
Milwaukee receives Kirk Hinrich (Chicago) and Brad Miller (Chicago)
Utah receives Luke Ridnour (Milwaukee) and Jerome James (Chicago) and a first overall pick in 2010 (Chicago)
Granted, Chicago seeks to benefit the most immediately from this trade receiving two all-stars in Boozer and Hinrich, and the two fill two near open positions on the team, while giving up players that aren’t necessary to the structure of the team.
Milwaukee receives an upgrade from Ridnour by getting Hinrich, and Miller will simply be a $12 million expiring 2010 contract on a team that has nearly $20 million to spend that offseason. He wouldn’t be a bad fit for the Bucks either. Utah finds a few backup spots to fill the Boozer gap, but could do better.
No. 2
Miami receives Carlos Boozer (Utah)
Golden State receives Daequan Cook (Miami) Kosta Koufos (Utah) James Jones (Miami) and a 2010 pick from Utah
