While I could probably stomach Boozer on the Jazz, I would have issues with some of our guys in Jazz unis.
This is exactly how I feel. Boozer is a good player and the whole Cleveland drama was unfortunate.. But would you leave in order to get a 50% increase in pay? 40+ Mil vs 60+Mil? Hell F@#$@$ yeah i would and I would throw baby kittens out the window to do so (Ok maybe throwing baby kittens is extreme but damn 20+ Mil more to go to a different team can you fault the guy?)..It's not like he's a thug or who mad drama (drugs, beating his wife, illegal dog fighting, etc...)
I for one remember Big Dogg Antoine Carr and Shandon Anderson playing here, and it was weird. That said, neither had been more than role players for the Jazz and certainly not as hated as Boozer is here.
Getting these two with Biedrins(24 yr old center), would also make us championship contenders. Randolph also played SF, PF as well as center and he never b****ed about it. I know yall hate to see this come up again, but it makes alot of sense now.
humongous potential became overrated to me when i have had to pronounce my affection for potential guys like eddie griffin, v-span, stro show, gortat, magic lamp.
Dude, this thread is garbage. You are really not understanding what these stars actually bring to a team. Call the girls or whatever, but there is a reason why they get the attention that they get. They are brilliant players, and i would happily give up 2 (maybe 3) players to get 1.
How do you call them brilliant when only one of them has a ring? Think about what i am proposing here. We have a contention ready team with Yao returning. This would be the equivalent of adding wood to the fire.
Mike Miller/ Ray Allen Which one of these guys should we go after, why? How could we get them? For the high expectation teams that miss out on the trio, they're prolly gonna end up overpaying for Ray and Mill, how much should we give? Or should we not go after either? Remember, Boozer (eeww, yuk!) is still on the board... Personally, I think Miller would be an absolute PERFECT backup for kmart. BTW, I think DM did a great job of not panicking and offering the kitchen sink for Bosh, and keeping OUR stars (Kmart, AB0, Scola). I'm still really looking forward to next season, as we have Yao back too.
Brad Miller n Ray Allen those are the two we want. I would take Ray over Mike for a backup 2, deadly shooting on the yao kickout ahhh cant wait
Why? Let's not be silly, guys. The Rox roster is really good, one major stud short of elite. I anticipate DM the GM will identify and land that fellow by February deadline. (I have my 'heart' set on Granger or Smith, maybe Horford. Not MM or RA.)
Agree with this, if something comes up then Morey is ready to pounce but the team as constructed is very good. Once the deadline roles around, Morey can go for the kill and take us to the next level.
Whoops, I deserved to be rookie-fied; Granger is the first name you mentioned!! With the likes of Aaron Brooks, Shane Battier, and Patrick Patterson, Granger is a classy guy with a college degree (civil engineering of all majors!). Super-stud and can play defense. My heart is set on him, man-crush, no apostrophes needed. Maybe we could even pick up Troy Murphy as a backup center. Keeping Scola and adding Granger >>>>> subtracting Scola and adding diva Bosh (thank goodness he's going to Mia!).
We need a game changer! SPLASH!!! Houston Trade Breakdown Change in Team Outlook: -14.0 ppg, -5.6 rpg, and +6.6 apg.
