I believe Utah would save a couple million dollars in the deal, which is important to them because they do not want to go over the luxury tax very much to re-sign Paul Milsap.
I am not sure Cleveland still needs Z now that they have Shaq-- unless you think it makes sense to pay $11 million dollars to Z to be a 15 minutes per game backup center.
Shaq, Boozer, and LeBron would be easily the best front-line in the NBA.
