Boozer?

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I'd trade Neal for a 2nd round pick and drop $5 mil on Boozer.

You're only paying him for one year so he won't tie up your cap as long as you renounce him after the season.

But with Kemba, Stephenson, an MKG with a jump shot, Boozer, and Jefferson starting with Roberts, Henderson, Hairston, Williams, Taylor, Zeller, Vonleh, and Biyombo off the bench...

That team could go to the ship if it gels.

Since getting Boozer will require a blind bid and the highest bid wins.

 

Only 9 teams have money to be in the bidding.  Only two teams seem like logical fits in the Hornets and Hawks.

 

What is your bid for Boozer?

 

I am bidding 2.5 Mil and see how it goes.

I'd probably go $3.5 million if I wanted him. That's roughly our cap space, and it's only a one year deal. The only other roster spot we need is a 3rd string PG.

Boozer would be a useful addition at the right price. He'd give us a decent starting PF. Got to say I'd like the look of the team if we got him:

Kemba / Lance / MKG / Boozer / Al

Got decent rotation options as well:

Roberts / Hendo, Neal / Williams, Hairston / Zeller, Vonleh / Biyombo

Overall this team could be a tough team in the East.

I would want to see as little of Boozer & Al on at the same time as possible.

Neither are great on defense, but Clifford does a great job scheming to make defensive deficiencies.

Big Al went from a major liability in Utah do decent last year. I am not saying he was a defensive stopper, but he wasn't a big liability either.

Plus you could still start Marvin, and bring Boozer off the bench to give is some offense when Al is resting

[thatlookseasy]

I dont really like Boozer playing next to big Al on offense or defense, seems like they would get in each others way. 

 

But he is overqualified to be a back-up and at less than $3 mil he is a great asset to have. You can always trade him at the deadline if you need to.

Having Biz and Boozer out there would be nice, so we still have some offense down there to pair with Biz's D.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I'm not even going to talk about how Boozer fits with the team, that's up to Clifford and so far he's done a great job of getting players to adapt to his system.

However, I think it would be crazy not to investigate a player that ranks in the the top 10 in scoring and rebounding among power forwards in this decade.

So realistically, what are our chances of getting Boozer?

its very real. Only a matter of moving ONE contract.

@GreatSportTalk: • Brandon Rush signs with the Warriors.

• The Hornets, Hawks, & Rockets are interested in Carlos Boozer.

#NBAFreeAgency

I don't know who this guy is or if he is legit

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

The Hawks can definitely outbid us but I don't know how much they would spend with Millsap already penciled in as the starter.

Hopefully he (Boozer) doesn't end up in our division (unless it's with us).

[ThinkAboutIt]

As usual... 

 

The Charlotte Hornets aren't in the secondary-waiver chase for Carlos Boozer.

I would only be surprised if he said the opposite.
