Rip has a $1m buyout. His $5m would be nice ballast for a team that would buy him out and gain $4m cap space.

I think if you have a hole at PF after trading LMA, you could do a LOT worse than Boozer. He's got Two years on his contract. You almost certainly would start him this year.

The guy is very good on offense, an excellent passer, and a strong rebounder. He is not a good defender, but the rebounds do count as stops.

Oh, okay. Scratch off suggestion D then.

You've convinced me that the Bulls don't even NEED Aldridge. So case closed, I guess.

You want feedback on your trade ideas or not?

I really am happy to see Boozer at PF and then Mirotic and then that Charlotte pick.

The win for the Bulls is to get under the LT. Come up with a scenario for that and the Bulls might jump on it. Not a silly proposal, though.

Still pimping Boozer I see.

Wtf? I like Boozer. He was the best player on the team, and was a major factor in our record and playoff success. Thibs seems to think so, too, since he starts him and plays him big minutes. The team hasn't used amnesty on him.

But Fez knows better. Suuuuuuuuuuure.
 
Boozer was fucking awful in the playoffs.

In fact, Boozer is just awful.
 
25/8 in game 1
13/12 in game 2
22/16 in game 3
21/8 in game 4
10/10 in game 5
14/13 in game 6
17/7 in game 7

(how do you define awful?)

6/7 in game 1
8/4 in game 2
21/4 in game 3
14/12 in game 4
26/14 in game 5

16.4 PPG/9.6 RPG in the playoffs. Same as in the regular season. 16.7 PER, best on the team.

16 ppg/9 rebounds for a 16 mil player? ouch
 
16/10 was still better than anyone else contributed.

BTW, only 4 players had more points/game and more rebounds/game than Boozer last season. Dwight Howard, David Lee, Al Horford, and DeMarcus Cousins.

It used to be the points/rebounds were pretty good barometer of a PF's worth.

Rumor has it the Bulls want to trade their only backup PF (Taj) and Hinrich to Dallas for a S&T Mayo. That's putting a lot of confidence in Boozer.

If you want a championship you can't always worry about the money factor. Take a chance and roll the dice. Screw getting draft picks.

Trading LMA for Boozer puts the Blazers closer to a championship?

I don't suggest a straight up deal like that makes sense for Portland. The bulls would take it, but I don't think they'd offer it.

Does Houston have any draft picks for 2014? I think that would be the only way Portland gives up Aldridge.

Man the trio of Aldridge, Howard and harden would be sick!

You mean kind of like Aldridge with a healthy Oden and Roy?

Read from here on. Posting boozer numbers in the trade for boozer; saying how he won more games than Aldridge. It's actually a funny read.

In reality, actual reality, he did win more games than LMA. The numbers show he didn't suck in the playoffs like someone claimed.

It is clearly your style to quote stuff out of context and make up stuff that never happened. And then you talk about reality.

Go back through the thread and you'll see I suggested Deng and Boozer as part of a deal for LMA, and that I wrote specifically that LMA is better than Boozer.

That doesn't mean Boozer is worthless. You would certainly prefer to start him in place of Thomas Robinson if you want to win games now.

I would absolutely not want boozer over t rob. 16 mil for a player that would bitch about coming off the bench? Nah; nothing but headaches. Give me Gibs over t rob though.

Why would he come off the bench?

You are insane.

Bulls deal would be like Deng, Boozer, and maybe Taj for LMA and filler...

And this is the trade I suggested that Mags has turned into Boozer for LMA.

For the record.

I'll keep posting it every time he pretends I wrote something else.

LOL

How, exactly, do you have LMA after this trade?

LOL

Okay so you admit that Aldridge is better than deng and boozer then?

Individually? Sure. Together? No.

Deng and Boozer are the starting front court of a 47 win team.

LMA is half the starting front court of a 33 win team.

I like the winners.
