will doom Rose's chances at getting a title the next few years. Great job Exec of the Year Gar Forman for letting him squat on your payroll!
I wonder if a team like Sacramento or Milwaukee ,who have trouble attracting FAgents, would take Boozer off the Bulls hands? It certainly does look like it might cripple the Bulls for a few years unless they find someone to take him.
Boozer was terribull. But at least that's one less player that Clutchfans hates that won't get a ring, am I right?

It is possible that Boozer redeems himself next season, but I severly doubt it. I would think that Paxton would want to give him one more season with the team before he starts desperately shopping Boozer out there, but there is still a few teams that might give him a shot in a trade. -Possibly Orlando here but they would want to include Gilbert Arenas in the deal of course. The Bulls coaching staff would want no part of agent 0 on their bench Im sure though. -The Wizards could view him as a good pick and roll side-kick to John Wall, and also unload Rashard Lewis onto the Bulls. This move would be more favorable to the Bulls but still not good return on their investment unless they get a good pick out of the deal too. All in all, they aren't going to get crap for Boozer anytime soon so they might as well just deal with the it and hope him and Rose develop better offensive chemistry next season.
I agree that his stock is way low to sell, you never want to make moves while a sour taste is in your mouth, and it's too early to give up on such a major acquisition. All that said, Chicago definitely got a reality check on who Boozer is (eery shades of Jay Cutler) - thought he was a (second tier) franchise guy...and are getting an up close look at his drawbacks. 5 ppg less in the postseason, and pathetic defense and toughness. This guy is the polar opposite of Noah in terms of effort and pride, too bad it hasn't rubbed off. Too bad Tom T shied away from giving more of his minutes to Gibson. This was also a huge reality check as to where they stand in the East. They had a great year altogether, but the Heat essentially gave the league a two month head start and are only hitting their stride now. Starting next year, they may* mow down the NBA and chase a 70 win season. Bulls need to reload if they want to stand in their way. Need a SG, and maybe, maybe, they need to be so bold as to put forth a godfather offer to Orlando: Asik - Gibson - Boozer - Deng - Korver - picks for Howard and Gilbert Arenas It's an unlikely trade, if only because Orlando won't want to trade to an East rival, and Howard has all the leverage as it stands. * may
Like it wasn't obvious that Boozer is a Loozer..... Anyway, I think the Bulls need to look for a quality SG that can score off-the-ball or off-the-dribble.
