The Golden State Warriors and Utah Jazz were in trade talks which would have sent Monta Ellis to Utah in exchange for Carlos Boozer. Sources say the deal fell apart after Boozer’s camp wouldn’t guarantee that they would exercise his player option for next season.Â
The deal would have included other players as Utah was pushing extremely hard for Marco Belinelli to be included in the deal. The Warriors insisted on Marcus Williams being thrown in rather than having to deal Belinelli.
