UPDATE (7/11/09 8:55am): Thanks to our friends over at Bright Side of the Sun this poll is slightly rigged! See Warriors To Trade For Boozer instead of Amare?
=======================
Well he's already used to wreaking havoc in the paint at the Roaracle.
SI Vault: Dunk of the Week
J-U-M-P.
ESPN's Ric Bucher tweets:
The Warriors are after Boozer. But all they have to offer are big, long contracts. Utah wants financial relief, not more pain.
First thing's first. If the Jazz are looking for big expiring deals, this trade won't happen unless a 3rd team can get involved. Don't be fooled by today's 4 way swap between the Mavericks, Raptors, Grizzlies, and Magic. Multiple team trades in the NBA are very difficult to concoct. So, the chances of the Warriors getting Boozer via trade are very, very slim. But just for fun...
Carlos Boozer would instantly give the Warrior a scoring force down low and big time rebounder. They last time the Warriors had a big man of that caliber... well, I won't go there.
Boozer only played in 37 games last season mostly due to a quadricep injury. Unlike Amare Stoudemire's eye injury last season that doesn't seem like a fluke. You have to wonder if Boozer is damaged goods and how many games he can give you next season. Make no mistake though, he's a force to be reckoned with on offense if healthy.
The biggest concern with Boozer's game even when healthy has to be on the defensive end. Now gaudy rejection totals don't necessarily mean you're a good defender down low; just like steals don't necessarily mean you're a good wing defender. But I have yet to see many big men who are good defenders that can't even manage to rack up 1 block per game over the course of their career. Boozer is at a shockingly low 0.5 for his career and only swatted 0.2 shots a game last season. That's not exactly the making of a big man who protects the paint.
It's natural for Warriors fans to have a really inflated sense of Boozer's ability because he's essentially terrorized this team and that feeling that he inflicted some serious abuse still lingers from the 2nd round of the 2007 NBA Playoffs, but looking over his numbers and considering his reputation on D especially without Deron Williams and Andrei Kirilenko I wonder if he'll just be a rich man's version of this guy:
Don't be mistaken though. If Boozer is healthy and able to return to his scoring and rebounding prowess of a 2-3 seasons back, he would instantly be the best player on this current sub-par Golden State Warriors roster.
The fact that the Warriors are rumored to be after Boozer also makes you wonder if this is either by design or by coincidence putting any pressure on the Phoenix Suns to ship Amare Stoudemire to the Bay.
Thanks to Sinigang for the FanShot.
99% of rumors never happen, but 99% of them are fun to talk about!

Boozer helps more than Amare
Defense and Rebounding are what we need. Amare and Carlos are both great scorers but thats what sets them apart.
However saying Boozer is a great defender is a stretch.
And Atma did you ban my previous account.

Im afraid that the Warriors getting Boozer will be like Philly getting Brand.
2 contrasting styles will never mesh, Brand and Philly, Baron and LA, and possibly Boozer and Oak.

That’s one of the reasons why I had to go with Stoudemire.

Yeah,
Plus Stoudemire has the size to play center, so AR could start at Power Forward and i see Boozer as a player who would really not want to play center.

boozer rumored to be going to Chi
a three way deal, Por gets Hinrich from Chi, UT gets Tyrus Thomas, saving $$ to secure Millsap. most teams will probably stay away from the GS players with the heavy contracts, ellis and biedrins possibly excepted.

That deal isn’t happening according to Ric Bucher’s post on his social networking site.

Boozer...
…is a better rebounder than Stoudemire, but a less efficient scorer. I know both have piss poor defensive reputations, and given that Boozer is smaller and has perhaps the more harrowing injury history, I’d likely say no. That is to say, unless the Warriors can swing a Boozer deal for a package other than the one shipping Biedrins out that we’ve heard for Stoudemire. It’s possible that Utah’s wants could be different.
And hey, if he averages 36 minutes a game (which would be a career high), he’ll block a fifth of a shot per game! Unless he either stays consistent or regresses, then he’d be notching a fifth of a block or worse per night. That’s a potential total of 16.4 blocks over 82 games! To contrast, Ronny Turiaf notched his 17th block in the eighth game of the year last season. Enter the paint at your own risk.

like people are saying better rebounder… and thats what we need we don’t really need him to score we have plenty of scorers on the team we just need someone to inhale rebounds and kick it out for open 3’s…. lolz

The Jazz do not want Beidrins, they have been in love with
Maggette of all people. Go read their SLC board. We could trade Mags straight up for Boozer or if need be throw in Bellinelli or Wright. The Jazz are actually better trade partners than Phoenix, and we get to keep Beans in the process. Even if we lose Boozer after 1 year we rid ourselves of Mags contract and free up space. This is a dream trade come true if it happens. Just think if our bigs were Beans, Rudolph, Rony, and Booz. Not bad and good for a 6th seed?

not necessarily true
Speaking for myself, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to get Biedrins, as I think most Jazz fans would. We just assumed he wasn’t on the market. (He’s not, right?) That being the case, we were considering Maggette. I’m not sold on him myself though, especially because of the length of his contract. The Jazz are desperate for cap space more than anything else. We’re willing to take a one-year hit on the tax to lock down Millsap. But after that, somebody better be coming off the books. Especially since Memo Okur just signed an extension today.
Uh, do you think you could draw me like a ninja?

Hmm...
I’m not sure if this would do it or not but I think I’d offer a deal based around Maggs, Wright and Curry (gasp!!!). Getting two legit prospects back might make it easier to swallow the fact that Maggs is overpaid (it’s not like he’s not productive offensively). That would leave us with a pretty solid looking roster.
PG: Monta, Watson, Law
SG: Jack, Morrow, Marco
SF: Buike, Jack
PF: Boozer, Randolph
C: Andris, Turiaf
Still some questions marks at PG, but that team can score in a variety of ways. With Monta and Boozer being the two main weapons, Buike and Morrow spacing the floor, Jackson facilitating, and Andris and Randolph cleaning up the mess. That looks like a solid rebounding team so long as we have two of Andris, Randolph and Boozer on the floor at all times. Defense could still be an issue, but it looks to be much better than last years team on that end of the floor, with Jackson and Turiaf anchoring the perimeter and interior D respectively.
Utah would get a solid perimeter scorer, a raw but offensively talented young big man, and what looks to be a young guard with an incredible gift for scoring the basketball. It’s not the best package in the world, but it’s definitely better on the basketball court than the Tyrus Thomas + cap relief deal that has been rumored.
Okay, I’m going to bed. If we could have an All-star PF on the team by the time I wake up (preferably without giving up Andris) that would be great. Get it done.

by olympicmike on Jul 10, 2009 2:12 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Mike, you would be overpaying if you gave up
Curry in the deal. Mags and Wright works for salaries and it is given Boozer is gone after this year.
by crab dribble cocktail on Jul 10, 2009 7:53 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well...
If it wasn’t necessary I wouldn’t trade him, but I think it might be. Of course I’d rather keep him, but if Utah isn’t looking for long term contracts in return for Boozer they could need a strong incentive to make this move.
Remember, we aren’t giving up Andris in this deal. It’s Maggs plus change, and Wright might not be enough to wrestle away an All-Star PF. Have we all forgotten that teams aren’t exactly lining up to pay Maggette 10 million a year until he’s 64 years old (at least it feels like the cotract is that long)?

I still prefer the deal Sleepy made above. I’d be pretty happy with that lineup. It gives us more defense at the 3.

what a great line-up
but we have to keep Curry. If Wright and Maggette aren’t enough, offer Speedy (with or instead of Wright) or Marco…
I’d still like going for Kirilenko better.

definitely
I’ve been advocating for a Maggette plus change for Kirilenko trade for some time now. Send the expirings or maybe even Wright and Bellinelli, sounds like Utah’s going to need a backup PF soon whether we get Boozer or someone else does.
by prhoads on Jul 10, 2009 11:18 AM PDT via mobile up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah...
Even though Boozer is the better player, I think I might do the AK-47 deal instead. I really do think we might need to give up Curry to land Boozer (if not, great! I wouldn’t put him in my initial offer but I think they might ask for him to be included), but we wouldn’t have to include him in an AK deal.
Like Sleepy said, I think the thought of putting an All-star in front of Randolph might be turning me off more than it should.

with all this GSOM chatter about Kirilenko, my preference of all the trade ideas, I don’t remember any discussion of this possibility as a “sourced” rumor. Have I missed it?

Nope...
There haven’t been any actual rumors, which is one reason why I got a little excited about the possibility of landing Boozer with a Maggs + deal. I could sit around and come up with a bunch of deals I like better that I think make sense, but that doesn’t mean anything. So far AK, as much sense as it makes, is just a GSoM fantasy.

I think this stems from the notion (real or not) that both the Utah FO and the fan’s want to do something with him and his large contract.
That and the fact that this just might be one of the best upgrads for us (with the trade ideas that have been floating around here) is why I’m guessing a lot of GSoMer’s are having this little fantasy.
There's a party in my mind.

Wasn’t Utah a possibility for Maggette before we signed him? And I recall Utah trying to get him at the trade deadline as well, either way, I recall many instances where it said that Utah showed interest in Maggs, which may be where these rumors came from.

IF there is truth to the Boozer rumor
combined with the very apparent effort to get Amare, it would seem Nelson & Co. do not feel that our current frontline of Andris/Ronny + AR/BWright is likely good enough to make the playoffs and that this weakness is of greater concern than PG since several PGs have been in play yet not a peep about GSW targeting one has arisen.

I think Nelly & Co. believe the warriors could make the playoffs with the current roster but I think there’s a lot of pressure on management to turn this franchise around and make this a winning team;

I think it’s more likely that they feel like they need to pounce on any opportunity to bring a star player here. I’m sure if an All-star PG like Deron Williams were available we’d be going after him too.

I'd rather have Boozer over Stoudemire
Considering that we could get rid of Maggette’s contract for Boozer instead of giving up Biedrins for Stoudemire. This trade would be alot more appealing and would help us dump that horrid contract. I would also not mind having Kirilenko either. Either way, I like it more than the Stoudemire trade.

Most of these offers don’t make much sense.
First of all, Boozer is an expiring contract. If you’re going to have a $12-13 million dollar expiring contract on your roster, would you rather have Boozer or Dampier? yeah.
basically they need a deal that includes a non-guaranteed contract so that they can waive the player and not take the cap hit (what the Bucks got in exchange for Jefferson), get a player they can buy out to lower the cap hit (Ben Wallace) or trade Boozer into a team that has cap space like OKC, Portland, Sac, Memphis.
the only shot the Warriors would have is if a 3rd team was involved.
for example, Boozer would move here, OKC would take Speedy, Wright, Belinelli and Utah would take Acie Law. This for Utah would essentially move Boozer for Acie Law and save the Jazz $10 mill this year and would get Sloan a back up PG who is not a rookie.
another example would be Boozer to GSW, Marco to Utah, Biedrins to OKC. Utah would probably rather have Law, but trade machine won’t allow it for now.

But you make the best point. They are being to stern with all the warnings and banning. I don’t think spelling something with out a period or a capital letter deserves to be a warning or ban. Only if it is really bad like you can’t understand them at all. Swearing can go either way. If it’s really prophane like " I effing hate you" that might warrant one but some thing like “damn that was cool” should not.

"No Freedom of Speech"
Censoring or violating people’s freedom of speech would be like me deleting comments from and banning regulars like Olympic Mike, Sleepy Freud, Oixn, Zack Yank, etc who routinely put up fantastic counter-arguments to my pieces, just because they don’t agree with my stance. Obviously that doesn’t happen and it’s never happened.
Asking people to post thoughtful comments and act like solid citizens or else asking them to go elsewhere? No, that’s not violating anyone’s freedom of speech. That’s striving to keep this a high quality community with great discussions.
Is it elitist that we ask people to formulate substantive comments with at least a good faith attempt at proper grammar and mechanics (a little evidence of thoughtfulness) in the comments/ FanPosts/ FanShots? (Doesn’t really apply to the game threads though.)
Maybe so (although that’s a pretty extreme viewpoint), but I’d rather have a high quality community with a ton of diverse viewpoints articulated really well compared to some run-of-the-mill message board. You can find that anywhere on the web, but what we’re aiming for and what we’ve always aimed for here is something different. It’s something special.

We agree with you that we want a high qualtity board
But the constant bannings and warnings really does not support what we want as a community. The top people on this site such as yourself need to see that there are some things going on right now making us users unhappy. No where does it say I have to punctuate the word don’t or else I get a warning. It’s an unwritten rule that is unfair to old and new users. Instead of telling us we got banned for numerous warnings tell us exactly what we did wrong. Instead of telling us that we did not follow the unwritten rules that have been inconsistent. I have been banned before for saying " i hate the way maggette has been playing lately". I did not capitalize but in no way is that quote difficult to understand or lowers standards. I even sent in a message to SB nation to ask why they banned my account for something so simple and they never returned my message. If you want such stern rules put it on the terms and agreement. And this is a sports site, I know we want a family network and banning the f word and s word n word etc etc is all fine by me but saying damn is not something that will drive anyone crazy. I’m with you on wanting the best site we can have and we arguably have the best site in SB nation right now but we have been upset about the warnings being thrown around so frequently. I think and most users probably agree with me that we want more freedom and less banning. Instead of banning someone forever how suspending there account for a number of hours or days? Only ban an account if they did something horrible. Lets say someone get 10 warnings, then suspend there account for a day or two. If they don’t learn there lesson for 3-5 suspensions then ban them because then there not correcting themselves. Just come out and tell people exactly what they can and can’t do. New users will be confused why they got banned for not capitalizing if you don’t put it in the agreement

Honestly
You’re wasting everyone’s time with your rant and little conspiracy theory. It’s clear that you and many others aren’t even reading the very transparent warnings and requests- what are we supposed to do about that? We can’t force people to actually READ their warnings/ requests. And it does say now when you join to only post high quality comments with proper grammar, spelling, etc.
Lets say someone get 10 warnings, then suspend there account for a day or two. If they don’t learn there lesson for 3-5 suspensions then ban them because then there not correcting themselves.
Are you kidding? TEN warnings? THREE to FIVE suspensions? If someone fails to adjust their commenting/ FanPosts/ etc after 1 or 2 warnings or even 1 ban, it’s pretty clear that they don’t value this community or our time. That’s just disrespectful/ negligent/ lazy and we don’t need people like that here.
Again folks who need TEN warnings/ babysitting should feel free to go elsewhere. This community isn’t a good fit for them to be posting in- and that’s perfectly fine. No harm done. There’s plenty of other spots where pithy comments like “i hate maggette!!!!!!!!!?!!!!!!!” are welcome. Everyone can have a great time out.

Fine, if you welcome that old comment of mine then why was it banned?
Back then it did not say I had to capitalize punctuate etc etc so why was it banned? I love this site just as much as anyone else but sometimes it does frustrate me. You said after 1 or 2 warnings that it’s clear they didn’t learn. If you don’t exactly what they did instead of just in proper grammar and punctuation they did not see exactly what they did. And only 1 -2 warnings? That’s being to harsh. Atleast a three strike policy, I think most people may want around 5 warnings which I think is a fair amount, but 1? 2? If that’s what you think that is fine but atleast take into account what us users have been saying lately.

I don't get the appeal of this trade with our current team.
Biedrins for Amare makes sense, adding a backup like GOoden if we have to include Wright.
The lineup of AR-Amare-Maggette as a front line at least makes sense. There isn’t a “traditional” center but I see little reason why AR and Amare couldn’t work together on the court just fine – the notion that they don’t make sense together depends on the false assumption that there’s some big difference between a center and a PF. There isn’t. That lineup is a little thin and small, but it works for an uptempo team.
Boozer, however, is not an uptempo player. He’s a player for a team that wants to pound the ball low. Nelson has NEVER liked to pound the ball low. He’s a strong guy, and strong post players have traditionally been a weakness of ours, but unike Gooden Boozer doesn’t help us defend against power bigs, his just gives us a different offensive look.

Just watched SportsCenter, and Chris Broussard listed Golden State as a team interested in Boozer
Adopted Giant Darren "Speedy" Ford. Said by Andrew Baggarly to be the fastest minor league player and the best defensive outfielder in the Giants Organization. Now playing for your San Jose Giants.

Smoke & mirrors to put pressure on the Suns, perhaps?

Or...
maybe just an attempt to land a very good PF without giving up Biedrins. I hope.

I’m somewhat reluctant on any PF trades (stoudemire or boozer), it seems like a double edged sword. On one hand, you can think it’ll take away minutes from Randolph and his growth. On the other, you can think that whoever we bring in could teach Randolph a thing or two. I’m really on the fence on if we should trade for a star PF. But if we traded for Kirilenko for Maggette plus expirings, I’m all for it. We would get a great defensive minded player that doesn’t need to take that many shots (we all know that we have ENOUGH shooters on this team) AND we get to get rid of Maggette’s horrid contract.

It would seem that the Jazz have to make some decisions pretty quickly.

according to CCT
Chicago, Miami, Detroit and New York all reportedly remain among possible destinations for Boozer, though the Contra Costa Times newspaper on Saturday reported that Golden State’s supposed interest in Utah’s starting power forward is not to be believed. 12 july prosportsdaily
