Reports are that the Miami Heat are interested in Utah Jazz big man Carlos Boozer and free agent and former Lakers forward Lamar Odom.
The Boozer part would be a three-way trade deal through the Heat, Jazz, and Memphis Grizzlies. This deal would send Boozer to the Heat, forward Udonis Haslem to Utah, and guard/forward Dorell Wright to the Grizzlies along with some cash considerations and draft picks.
It seems likely that Lamar Odom could sign a five-year deal with the Heat at the mid-level exception ($5.8 million for next season and $34 million or so for the length of the contract).
Considering the Lakers pulled their offer to Odom off the board and the Jazz need to dump Boozer's $12.7 million with one year left on his contract to match the offer sheet to Paul Millsap and the Portland Trail Blazers, it's realstic to imagine both deals going down. If the Heat sign Odom and trade for Boozer, will they get Dwyane Wade to stay and sign an extension?
