    Rip has a $1m buyout. His $5m would be nice ballast for a team that would buy him out and gain $4m cap space.

    I think if you have a hole at PF after trading LMA, you could do a LOT worse than Boozer. He's got Two years on his contract. You almost certainly would start him this year.

    The guy is very good on offense, an excellent passer, and a strong rebounder. He is not a good defender, but the rebounds do count as stops.

    Oh, okay. Scratch off suggestion D then.

    You've convinced me that the Bulls don't even NEED Aldridge. So case closed, I guess.

    You want feedback on your trade ideas or not?

    I really am happy to see Boozer at PF and then Mirotic and then that Charlotte pick.

    The win for the Bulls is to get under the LT. Come up with a scenario for that and the Bulls might jump on it. Not a silly proposal, though.

    Wtf? I like Boozer. He was the best player on the team, and was a major factor in our record and playoff success. Thibs seems to think so, too, since he starts him and plays him big minutes. The team hasn't used amnesty on him.

    But Fez knows better. Suuuuuuuuuuure.

    Boozer was fucking awful in the playoffs.

    In fact, Boozer is just awful.

    16/10 was still better than anyone else contributed.

    BTW, only 4 players had more points/game and more rebounds/game than Boozer last season. Dwight Howard, David Lee, Al Horford, and DeMarcus Cousins.

    It used to be the points/rebounds were pretty good barometer of a PF's worth.

    Rumor has it the Bulls want to trade their only backup PF (Taj) and Hinrich to Dallas for a S&T Mayo. That's putting a lot of confidence in Boozer.

    If you want a championship you can't always worry about the money factor. Take a chance and roll the dice. Screw getting draft picks.

    Trading LMA for Boozer puts the Blazers closer to a championship?

    I don't suggest a straight up deal like that makes sense for Portland. The bulls would take it, but I don't think they'd offer it.

    Read from here on. Posting boozer numbers in the trade for boozer; saying how he won more games than Aldridge. It's actually a funny read.

    He can't be a troll when he actually believes what he writes. That's called delusional
