What if we traded Maggette for him? Utah’s missing link is a high scoring swing man, to play the 2 or 3. It would be an odd trade, since Boozer just has this year left, and Maggs has 5, but I would think Utah would love to lock in a 20ppg for a few years. We’d be fine taking the risk of losing Maggs and Boozer for the reward of possibly locking him in.

I think Utah would consider it, since they won’t have the money to sign a top FA.

dont think just sign.
GO!!

…not to crap on the parade, but despite his scoring and his big muscles, Boozer is a pretty piss poor defender.

I know hindsight is 20-20, but come on! How can we dish out long term contracts to Maggette and Jack without considering the much, much, much better FA’s inn 2009 and 2010. Here’s what we should have done:

1. Not sign Maggette to a contract. This was a desperation move on the Warriors part to sign ANYONE. I seriously question if they knew who they were signing when they threw out all that money. They probably picked a name out of a hat.

2. Trade Al Harrington for Malik Rose’s expiring contract.

I can accept in this scenario that the Warriors still resign Jack to his absurd contract extension. But still this is around $19M off the current warriors books. Factor in Monta and Andris’ deals and we’d be around $10M under the cap. This probably wouldn’t be enough to entice Boozer to come over, so we’d need to dump some remaining contracts..Turiaf maybe? Well this is all hindsight now. But this scenario gives the Warriors a much better position to go forward.

Maybe add BWright? If (when) they lose Boozer, they’ll have an adequate replacement in Millsap. But Okur and Kirilenko are aging, and Kufous has shown no huge potential. They’d probably love a potential Kirilenko replacement.

This leaves Brandon Jennings as a top candidate for our selection (guessing 7-10, conservatively speaking). I think he’s too flashy and turnover prone for his own good. And his shot selection leaves a lot to be desired,

sounds like Baron Davis to me…

too bad we wasted it all on Magette. The Warriors are destined to suck. Accept it.

I love when people don’t read the entire post. And then they say, “can’t do it, too much money tied up in Magette”. That’s why I wrote in the OP that they should trade Magette away for some expiring contract to leave room. Or SJax. Or both. But Magette preferrably.

I know that may be easier said then done, but Mullins should be trying to work out some trade like that to clear up the necessary cap room at the end of the season to get Boozer. Should be the number #1 priority.

With all the other guys I mentioned in the OP, Boozer, and whatever lottery pick we get, that is a contender, if you don’t think that would be a great team (if Nelly got his act together), then you are not paying attention.

If they front office doesn’t pull off something like this to fill some obvious holes then season ticket holder will be leaving the Oracle in droves….
