    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> Carlos Boozer's name remains a popular one in NBA trade-talk circles these days, but it appears no deals involving the Jazz power forward are imminent.
    The Chicago Tribune reported Tuesday that the Bulls, fresh from getting Detroit center Ben Wallace to orally agree to a surprise four-year contract now reportedly believed to be worth $60 million, "have gotten feelers for deals regarding Troy Murphy of Golden State, Marcus Camby of Denver and Carlos Boozer of Utah."
    But, the Tribune report added, "those players have long-term contracts, which could force the Bulls into giving up one of their so-called core players in the future to stay within the constraints of the salary cap and luxury tax."
    Instead, according to multiple reports, Chicago was focusing on a potential swap that would send Tyson Chandler to New Orleans/Oklahoma City for big man P.J. Brown and unhappy shooting guard J.R. Smith.
    Brown will make $8 million next season, but the Louisiana native will be a free agent in 2007 ? alleviating the Bulls' long-term payroll concerns should they indeed acquire him.
    Boozer, the subject of frequent rumors, has four years remaining on his current contract ? including a salary of $11,593,816 next season.</div>

    I doubt the Bulls will go for him anymore, just based on his contract.

    Anybody who gets Boozer will be getting a very good player when healthy. He just needs to stay healthy.

    Sorry, but that would mess up the T-wolves man. KG is not able to bang down low with them centers. I think Boozer should play the 5, and let him do all the dirty work. I actually believe KG is out of position even at the 4. I liked him most, when he was a small forward.

    I agree about him not being able to play the C but he can play the PF well. He is a tweener.

    Remember that time when good old Joe Smith was the T-wolves PF? I know that weren't KG's best seasons statistically, but I loved the way he played then.
