    It's a joke from the last time he had a verbal agreement with Cleveland.

    That agreement is still binding, right? He just didn't say what year he would complete the verbal agreement. He's ready now.

    He backed out on Cleveland a long time ago, he gave a verbal commitment.

    Why is Boozer's DRtg the last few years so good?

    Is that legit?

    He played for the Bulls. DRtg is really misleading on an individual basis because it's so team dependent.

    Ok, he'll be playing next to Dwight, Ariza, and PBev.

    Can he still be effective?

    I don't think we have a shot at him. We are operating as an above the cap team based on all the interviews Morey did. We can't even bid the minimum. No way he goes totally unclaimed.

    What stat can you look at to see how good a defender someone really is as a individual?

    It's pretty tough to break down a player's individual defensive impact, but the most accepted stats are probably the defensive RAPM and RPM (they use some fancy statistical stuff, ridge regression etc. which most people, including me, don't really understand).

    I like Jeff Adrien's game... GREAT signing for league minimum. But @kevinlove would look just a wee bit better though, don't yathink?

    All defensive stats are marginal. Some version of defensive RAPM is probably best, but all are flawed.

    This article
    http://www.hickory-high.com/is-espns-real-plus-minus-for-real/

    discusses some of the flaws. Boozer is specifically mentioned.

    Fixed it for you. Saying he disappears indicates that he will continue to disappear.

    Why post this? No way Love is coming. The Rockets' offer is much MUCH weaker than the Cavs offer (even without Wiggins) , as well as the Warriors offer.
