if we can do that trade and be guaranteed that Boozer signs at least a 4-5 yr contract with us.

I don’t care that the boys of GSOM yawn everytime they show Biedrins stats, but if that guy had a legit PF like Boozer next to him, he would be absolutely amazing. A combo of Biedrins and Boozer is devastating. I would say it’s the best in the league at those 2 positions ;)

If not, then no.. We can actually pull off multiple trades after that if that’s the direction we’re heading… Maybe our promsing youngs in Randolph and Wright for two sure fire veteran players to win us a championship.

He sounds like a moron with an agenda

Would this bring us to the playoffs next year… Maybe. But imagine Randolph turning into a 20 and 10 guy in 3 years. Monta, Randolph, Beidrins, will be the most exciting core in the NBA. Add a few pieces and you’ve got a championship contender.

We are in no place to make a reckless trade for injury prone Boozer when we have the youngest team in the league.

we need him because he’s the only player on the team that is remotely close to a “SUPERSTAR”,but in all serious here, he can penetrate and shoot better than 99% of the team. He is a SG that can dominate a game with ease.

NOW JACKSON…
Hope u like the cold buddy, haha not really.
but yea seriously, ship him off anywhere, i dont really give a damn.
he’s a HUGE liabillity to our team. Even Matt Steinmetz wrote in his news collumn that,
“IF A JAX IS THE BEST PLAYER ON THE TEAM, WE AINT GOIN NO WHERE!”

My advice to stupid ass rowell, and senile Nellie, Take whatever you can get for him, and o yea, drive off a cliff.

if u dont like the truth, boo fricken whoo.

I would definitely be tempted. my only problem with it is Elton Brand. I’m afraid that Boozer is used to working in a half court system and would just slow us down like Brand does the 6ers. If we did get the big guy we would have to change our philosophy to succeed.

This is one of the only trade proposals I’ve seen in a long time that’s feasible and helps us out at the same time. Props to you, sir

We obviously have a glut of guards, Utah does have room for a legitimate scoring guard. Deron (like Baron) could work well with Monta. Millsap and Kirilenko do make Boozer somewhat expendable.

And we would be able to re-sign Boozer. His contract comes with his bird rights, which means we can re-sign him regardless of our salary cap standing.

But somehow I just don’t see Utah making a move like trading a big for an injured small.

Why trade our pg, best player, savior, sickest player, for half a season of an injured Boozer? Boozer can, and will, opt out of his contract after this season. Monta, on the other hand, is locked up to a cheap contract for 5 more years of BALLLLINNN.

Or we could just deal for Millsap or Kirilenko instead (or both). Those two are actually better fits for what we need on this squad: versatile defenders who rebound well and don’t hog the ball on offense. I actually can see Boozer coming here and doing to us what he did to the 76ers.

Utah trading a big for a small especially when the small is essentially a tweener coming off of a serious injury

wtf?! This is kobyashi feces!!!!!

Don’t get me wrong, I’d trade anybody else on this team for Booze Cruise, except Biedrins and Monta.
That being said, who would we have to score in crunch time during close games without Monta?? We’ve already proved this year that noone active on our roster can do that and Boozer sure can’t create his own shots. I kind of think Boozer’s numbers are inflated because of Jerry Sloan’s high pick and roll offense. Watching these Warriors this year, once we have Monta back we have enough ballers to play with ANYONE we just have a drunk curmedgeon leading them.

Tank the season (which is already being done), win the lotto, draft Blake Griffin!

we’d have to give up ronny in this trade but i’d be ok with that considering it makes the trade a little more realistic.

Are we agreeing that it would be a good idea to play a half-court style of offense without a pure PG, three ball-stoppers in Crawford, Maggs and Boozer and Capn Jack as well? So in addition to this slower, halfcourt style of offense, are we going to win games with our half court defense with Boozer (plays no d) Maggs (nope) Crawford (nada) and an aging Jack? How many teams have been successful playing half court style of offense w/ out a true pg?

As hard as it is to stomach, we need the One Man Fast Break back, we need to persevere through the rest of the season, pray for a good lottery pick, luck into some serious development from Wright, Randolph and Belinelli and re-evaluate down the road.

The youth on our team is our biggest asset. We are not one player away from contending for a title. We are several. Why mortgage our future for 4 years of guaranteed mediocrity?

PG: Jamal Crawford
SG: Stephen Jackson
SF: Corey Maggette
PF: Carlos Boozer
C: Andris Biedrins

Bench: Marco Belinelli, Kelenna Azubuike, Anthony Randolph, Brandan Wright, CJ Watson etc.

That’s a team ready to cause some SERIOUS upsets.

You have to realize how much of an impact a Boozer/Biedrins frontline can make. That automatically solves our rebounding problems, it automatically solves our inside/post game problems, and not only that but we get an all-star daily 20/10 player alongside Biedrins. That frontline can scare other teams, especially with the pace that we play, the Warriors can run teams like crazy and if the game slows down we have big men to rely on (whereas right now we suck whenever the game slows down and the team always looks confused).

We finally get a TOUGH body in the post and it can solidify the Warriors as a pretty good defensive team. It would be hard for opposing players to drive in and score when Boozer and Biedrins are in the area. Also, this trade makes us bigger (obviously) and still have a lot of speed to run our fastbreak game.

We all saw what Boozer is capable of when we saw him destroy the Warriors in the paint during the Playoffs. He was the only reason why the Jazz eliminated the Warriors; Baron outperformed Deron, but the Warriors had too many problems rebounding the ball against an athletic big man like Boozer. We got outrebounded by 19.6 boards a game during that series, including a 28 rebound difference in Game 2.

Not only does it take pressure off of the other players, but the overall stress level on the team would be significantly lower during games. The team is always finding themselves in a hole during games because they keep having problems with defensive rebounding. With Boozer pairing up with Biedrins, the team doesn’t have to look at rebounding as some type of incredibly difficult thing to accomplish; rebounding will now be as easy as a layup.

Also, with a 20ppg post scorer in the paint, it takes pressure off of the team on offense since players have a sense of security knowing that they have Boozer and Biedrins who can score in the paint. It leads to less chucked perimeter shots, since our guards will know that they have a scorer in the PAINT that they can RELY on. It adds another dimension to the offense and makes Biedrins a hell of a lot better now that he can relax a little more. It makes the Warriors more deadly, and they won’t have to always rely on running teams out of the building just to win games. With the team we currently have now, we have no big men like Boozer, NO guaranteed inside scoring, and it stresses out the team knowing that they have to make crazy outside/mid range shots in order to maintain momentum for the whole game.

Biedrins is great, but he’s having a hard time initiating his offense inside. With Boozer, he can post up other big men and make mid range shots or athletic moves to the whole, and also be able to set up good plays knowing that he has a quick athletic big men in Biedrins by his side.

And like I said, it leads to LESS CHUCKING. Scoring is more balanced, and Crawford/Jackson/Maggette won’t feel the need to have to take over all of the time. Crawford can focus on distributing the ball, Jackson can focus on his overall game, Maggette can focus on getting the team to the line, Boozer can focus on scoring inside, Biedrins can focus on making the right plays. It lessens the stress on the team and the players will be capable of doing more. It embeds a swagger to the whole team, since they have power both outside and inside; they’ll be more confident. It’s somewhat like when the Warriors finally got healthy and went on a 16-5 run to end the 2007 regular season and eliminating the Mavericks in the first round; they finally found swagger in themselves knowing that they had a bunch of scorers on the team that made them an offensive juggernaut. That would be the same effect that Boozer can bring, because they get scorers all over the floor and the team is more balanced.

I still love Monta, though. And since this trade will never happen, i’m not sad knowing that Monta is still with the Warriors. He’s a future all-star, but we can win big with Boozer as well. I would be fine with the trade or not.

SERIOUSLY, LET’S NOT FIGHT OVER THIS.

I HAVE THE PERFECT SOLUTION.

LET’S SIGN DARIUS MILES AND PLAY HIM. HELL, LET’S START HIM. WE’LL TOTALLY PISS OFF THE BLAZERS AND EVERYBODY UP THERE.

HAHA I POINT AT YOU GUYS AND LAUGH WHEN THE WARRIORS INCREASE THEIR PAYROLL BY 9 MIL WHEN THEY DON’T EVEN GAIN A PLAYER.

HAHA I WILL LAUGH AND KISS THE GROUND IF DARIUS MILES EVER BECOMES AN ALL-STAR.

seriously though, if portland is going to sue anybody that plays miles, they’re just keeping him from attempting a comeback. i don’t know why any teams would want him, but i just don’t think we should stop him from attempting it. sad =’(. NO ON PROP8 GUYS.

and with the addition of boozer, you’d have one drunk coaching another drunk

Well considering the team will never be successful without a bigman like Boozer and the current logjam at guard, they almost have to do that deal.
