Rumor on O-Live

[Wizard Mentor]

How do you know any 2nd rounders in this draft are better then Boone?

1) How do you know they're not.
2) Does it really matter, I was responding to a poster that was talking about 5-6 min/game.

You know who would make an interesting back up 4? Ike Diogu.

Bring back DNPiogu!

At least the dude could score in the low post.

Boone is a big body and he doesn't turn 25 until November. He's ugly as sin, and I'd like to get a better backup power forward than him, but he's not a bad player and I can see why this trade would make some sense.

It's not a good deal though if you attach a name to #33. Vic Claver and Sergio for Boone.

That sucks monkey butt. We're trading two quality reserves for a one quality reserve that plays a position we don't necessarily need, while taking on more salary. I don't like that.

Claver would just be stashed in Europe for a year or three, and Boone presumably WOULD be needed to be our backup power forward (like Frye was this year).

It's not my favorite, but it's not terrible IMO.

1) I dont know what a 2nd rounder would contribute and neither do you. That's the point.
2) That poster was me and it doesnt really matter. Just pointing out that Boone is a good enough rebounder and defensive player to give us a few mins a game at the 4. This move isnt worth caring about either way really. ZZZzzzzz

Trading short for tall here would make me wonder if other deals have us trading tall for short.

calling sergio a quality reserve is not true imo. and calling claver one is pure conjecture at best.

boone is currently a quality reserve, an average player.

im still not in favor of adding a pick though.

I had it in my head that he was a center. I agree he's not a bad replacement for Frye. I don't want to give up those assets though for him. Now, if we could use one of our other second rounders, that's different.

Sergio helped us win 54 games. I view him in a better light than most. He's still young and will improve his game each season for a few seasons.

Claver shares the same potential. He's 20 and in the ACB League did quite well. He's progressing to the point where it's safe to say his ceiling is an NBA role player.

I keep looking for youtube video on Josh Boone, and all I'm finding are videos of every player in the NBA dunking on him. Of course, youtube is not a standard to measure players with, but I've just never run into that kind of consistency before.

Haha...a two page thread about an O-Live rumor. We have problems.

 

[Wheels]

No, but I like the smell of my own shit more than the smell of other people's shit.

LMAO!!!!!!! Now that was funny.. and one upping a funny comment is hard to do. Repped.

It must be draft day . . .

"Boone sucks... Boone is brutal". And Sergio isnt?

 

[Boob-No-More]

This is a bit of a ho-hum deal (if it happens). Boone is a mediocre big man, at best, but since we're likely losing Frye, S-Bo and Ruffin, we have a need for a mediocre big - if for no other reason, just to have enough big bodies to scriimage 5-5 at practice.

Boone would not be my first choice (or even my 31st) as our back-up 4, but as a 3rd string 4/5, he'd be OK.

If it does happen, it suggests that Pritchard is targeting a PG in either the draft, or as a free agent, or possibly another trade. Not a big shocker, but I don't see him giving up Sergio unless he's confident he'll be able to acquire a PG. I don't see us going into the season with Blake and Bayless as the only PGs on our roster.

Sergio's best year, PER wise - was his rookie year - I do think he got better between year 2 and 3 - and he is a slightly better player today than he was before - but that is damning with a very faint praise....
