I'm going to assume that Kyle Korver does not opt out, and that Okur and Boozer do. The Jazz would have to give up Okur and Millsap to keep Boozer, and I think they'd rather keep Okur and Millsap. They need to keep two of those three.
For next season the Jazz will have under contract Deron Williams, Andrei Kirilenko, Ronnie Brewer, CJ Miles, Kosta Koufos, Matt Harpring, Kyle Korver and Kyrylo Fesenko (assuming the Jazz pick up his $810,000 option.) Those salaries add up to $50.39 million. Now assume the salary cap for 2009-2010 is going to be $69 million. Some speculation is it could go as low as $68 million, but let's be a bit generous.
The 20th pick in the NBA draft gets $1.32 million. Salary total for 9 players is now at $51.71. Add two minimum wage players for $550,000 apiece. $52.81. So, can Okur and Millsap be retained for $16.19 million?
Okur is going to want at least $11 million the first year. At least. Millsap is going to want $7 or $8 million.
The only way I see it working is if the Jazz can get someone under the cap (like Oklahoma City) to take CJ Miles ($3.7 mil) in a trade for a second-round pick. Assume another minimum wage pick, and now they have $19.34 million. $11 million for Okur and $8 million for Millsap.
Done.
