I know the trade deadline coming !!!!Would we take Boozer !! I know the media overblown what actually takes place behind close doors !!! If larry miller is real pissed at what Boozer has done for his fat paycheck!!! I really think he could be a missing piece to a title threating team IF mO taylor could average half of Sura's rebound output I would be happy !!! Unlikely that Uath would give up on Boozer and his 11 million per !!! But if there was any truth to the story about larry Miller wanting him out !!!! I would welcome a Pippen type trade !!!
hypothetically if Jordan came back to the game, and if some how he had the skills he had during the championship years, would we take him. Questions like these really start the brain going...
Hypothetically, Utah made mistakes by overpaying Boozer and dont expect other teams to bail it out. Unless you are willing to take mo+spoon.
If we had any really tradeable assets this would actually be an interesting question. I could imagine trading him for one good + one of our better bad contracts. There is no doubt that he has the potential to contribute well, if he could be made to care.. Would you be willing to lose sura+ howard? That would doom us for this year for example..
I kinda like Boozer's game, IMO he's the ideal PF for us, except for the 66 million dollar contract part. And what would Utah want from us outside of TMac and Yao that would satisfy matching the contract of Boozer? His contract and our nothing to offer that would remotely interest Utah makes it a pipe dream. Remember, Boozer is young and the Jazz are a young team building around AK47. I don't think they want players on the wrong side of 30 in return for Boozer.
What, you mean the kind that brings in an overpaid, overrated b*tch of a player who likes to abandon his team?
Sure, if the stars aligned just right then Boozer to H-town would be a no-brainer. Ho + TE + #1, if even doable, with Base Year considerations = deal? If so, sure, I'd endorse. Ain't gonna happen. Might LMiller move him? Or Okur? Absolutely. Will either be moved? Dubious, and a half.
Has anyone seen how much improved Drew Gooden is playing? If the Cavs were smart, they'd trade him for some needed player and get another able power forward to boost up. So hypothetically, we should take Boozer... if Lebron comes with him.
Boozer signed with the Jazz last summer. Thus, the only way Lebron would come with him is in a 3 way trade. Oh, and the Jazz aren't going to trade Boozer. Even if they were, does anyone really think we have something to offer?
Pippen forced the Rockets hand we traded this ego for a bunch of spare parts !!!!! So for some reason Miller did not want to mess with Boozer anymore we could dream about a Howard& expection and picks for him. I do believe we are a power forward (a modern day Otis Thorpe)away from being serious contenders. A young ,shot blocking ,rebounder ( Chandler , Murphy,Boozer ,Swift)would be great !!!! I would love Kurt Thomas but he is too expensive for his years he has left.
The players we got for Pippen were has beens and never-was. You can say that we got Cato out of that that led to us getting Tmac, but I think we could have consumated the deal some other way without Cato.
If the Jazz would trade him to us, then yes, of course we would take him. But since the Jazz aren't trading him, especially not to us, then it's a closed case.
What I meant was LeBron inflated Boozer's value to the point where Sloan isn't satisfied with the guy. The guy is overpriced, and I definitely wouldn't want his salary on the Rockets cap.
Why not? We're over the cap anyway. The Rox would give anything outside TMac and Yao for him, and they should... IF he were on the block. Prob is, we don't have enough to offer. Closest may be something like: Pick a player (Spoon, Sura, etc.) + 1st rounder + TE
