    Since when has Boozer played defense?

    Villanueva's a mediocre small forward. His offense is less efficient, and while he might not be able to guard top-level PF's, he can't guard any SF.

    Any lineup with Kwame starting isn't going to be solid.

    Pretty silly move by Detroit, IMO. Booze gives them a 20/10 PF while his expiring contract makes them major players in 2010.

    I agree, they're not going anywhere without another major addition. Don't understand why they're so enamored with Prince in this situation.

    Detroit doesn't want to pay $14M to extend Boozer after his current deal is up.

    Maybe they should let him expire? A lot of players they could get potentially with the cap room.

    i wouldnt be suprised at ALL if charlie v went in this year and averaged something like 20 and 10.... his per 36 min averages this year were 20 and 9... although they need to move rip badly... i think keeping tayshaun for boozer was a really good idea.... seeing as how boozer played something like 37 games last season...

    I would have kept Tayshaun also, especially to just "rent" Boozer for a year.
