The Jazz and Heat have opened up trade talks centered around Carlos Boozer, according to a report from ESPN.

According to Chad Ford, the Heat made an effort to acquire Boozer but the package wasn't enough to interest Utah.

Yahoo's Marc Spears reported more recently than Ford that the two teams were in 'serious discussions' and Udonis Haslem and Mario Chalmers would be involved.  The Wizards would reportedly be involved in a deal as well in order to further save money.

Michael Beasley has not been involved in trade discussions, according to Spears.

Sources tell Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski that they are not optimistic of a deal being agreed upon before the deadline between the parties.
