    Much rather have Deron than Boozer but if they want T-Slack I propose Deron+AK for T-Slack! I'm just kidding even though I hate the Utah Jazz even I wouldn't want them to suffer that bad.

    Yes,but we all know what he did to Cleveland. If Tracy doesn't make a successful comeback,Boozer may go to some other team anyway.

    hahaha i love rumors. If this is true and it happens and we end up playing the jazz again then expect another lost. Ron Artest and Scola for Boozer. The jazz would run away with this without saying no.

    So are you saying Booger and Cola Artested?

    If so i will make the trade since Booger has a nose for Allstar.

    If we traded Scola and Artest it better be for Bosh.

    Does this make us better? Scola played Boozer to a standstill in the playoffs, and that's not even factoring in the loss of Artest.

    I can understand the desire to get something for Ron, but this makes us worse in the short term while also depleting us of a valuable asset in Scola.

    I would rather just play it out and let Ron walk.

    Yeah I saw the contract and realized that would be the worse move ever. Why did the Jazz max him out but then stall on Boozer? Are they r****ded? Oh yeah I forgot. :D ZERO RINGS!

    Your bugging. If you can get something for someone you got for free why not go for it. Now I wouldn't do this trade but if there is a trade that you can get which would make the team better while giving up Artest then you go for it. Morey was a kid in a candy store when he made the trade for Artest. He robbed the Kings and went out a happy child.

    I meant in comparison to this proposed trade for the soon to be free agent in his own right, Boozer.

    I don't see how that trade makes sense for the Rockets.

    This rumor makes no sense at all. Why would the Rockets trade a soon to
    be free agent for another soon to be free agent that they have a lesser chance
    of resigning? Our PF position is not a position of weakness, so if we are going
    to do a major trade, it must be to upgrade the PG or SG position.

    If this is true I may have to boo him at games... and start looking for another team to root for in the play offs because we'll be out the first round with Loozer.

    Maybe the Cavs won't make a stupid trade...

    I don't see how this trade would make us any better.

    Boozer is the best player in the deal, yes.

    Artest might not be able to re-sign with us, true.

    But seeing Scola on the Jazz would make me physically ill.

    And who'd be our backup 5 with no Scola? Boozer is listed at 6'9" but even he admitted to an SI reporter once that he's closer to 6'7".

    I don't even want to do this if we send Boozer to a 3rd team. Luis would still be on the Jazzholes. Excuse me, won't you please? (BLAAAAAAAAARRRF!)
