Boozer opts in

[PapaG]

That's 6, with 3 arguables imo. I think you just blurted out every decent PF in the league. Doesn't mean they are better than Boozer.

Zach Randolph is a decent PF who scores more the Boozer and didn't get embarrassed by Pau Gasol in the playoffs.

You are aware that Millsap absolutely destroyed us during the regular season right? He also has toughness and desire something I question in our current PF (see the previous comment). LMA constantly got outworked by smaller stronger guys so much so that we had to switch Oden on to him and have LMA chase Okur.

10 points 6 rebounds/per in 4 games versus Portland while averaging > 30 mins = destroyed?

That seems like a loose interpretation of "destroyed", doesn't it? Millsap averaged 13.5/8.6 for the season in 30 mins/per.

Not only that but, it makes way more sense for Oden to cover Milsap, and Aldridge to cover Okur if we are facing the Jazz. Let's see, one has a good post game,a dn is strong, the other more of a perimeter game. Do you want Oden floating around the 3 pointline trying to stay with Okur? Makes no sense at all.

Sign Millsap...Trade LMA/Bayless/Outlaw/Joel to NOH for CP3/Chandler...then you have...

CP3/Blake
Roy/Rudy
Batum/Webster
Millsap/Pendergraph
Oden/Chandler

Can you say Finals anyone!

You forgot to include Batum/Pendergraph for Kobe Bryant! Titles!

Does this mean that Boozer is not going to trick the Jazz into letting him go, like he did Cleveland, just to make more millions?

It's hard to argue with what Boozer got out of the deal. Best move he's had in the NBA on/off court IMO.

I think "absolutely destroyed us" may be a bit of a hyperbole. He destroyed us in game two, but LMA did pretty well in the two blow outs in the rose garden. In game 4 the Jazz had absolutely no fucking answer for him. This was discussed in depth for a week on their local radio stations.

10/6 vs LMA 18/2
17 /12 vs LMA 22/6
7/2 vs LMA 14/6
9/4 vs LMA 26/ 5
