Millsap is my #1 desire now. Sign + Trade for Andre Miller. PG: Miller/Bayless SG: Roy/Rudy SF: Webster/Batum PF: Aldridge/Millsap C: Oden/Pryzbilla Lots of versatility in that lineup, too
Cool opinion, bro. (But who would value the opinion of someone who thinks Boozer is better than Gasol?)
That's 6, with 3 arguables imo. I think you just blurted out every decent PF in the league. Doesn't mean they are better than Boozer.
I freaking love your signature! Anyone who thinks Oden is a bust is well...not taking the whole picture into account. I agree with your Millsap desire. If we had Millsap our flexibility would be enormously increased and would allow us to trade either Joel or LMA if so desired for a godlike PG. For instance, if we had Millsap we could offer Joel, LMA, Rudy and Blake or Bayless to NOH for CP3 or something similar for another tops shelf PG. For instance LMA for Harris straight up.
You are aware that Millsap absolutely destroyed us during the regular season right? He also has toughness and desire something I question in our current PF (see the previous comment). LMA constantly got outworked by smaller stronger guys so much so that we had to switch Oden on to him and have LMA chase Okur.
Boozer staying is great news. It means there may be a better chance we might get out bid for Turkoglu because Detroits rumored first target is gone. Hopefully this will lead to us trying to trade for a player instead of signing a FA. Bad year for Quality FA for what they are rumored to get.
While we are on the subject, let us not forget Boozer's history of malingering. Let's also not forget the way he screwed over the Cavs.
Zach Randolph is a decent PF who scores more the Boozer and didn't get embarrassed by Pau Gasol in the playoffs.
10 points 6 rebounds/per in 4 games versus Portland while averaging > 30 mins = destroyed? http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/splits?playerId=3015 That seems like a loose interpretation of "destroyed", doesn't it? Millsap averaged 13.5/8.6 for the season in 30 mins/per.
Not only that but, it makes way more sense for Oden to cover Milsap, and Aldridge to cover Okur if we are facing the Jazz. Let's see, one has a good post game,a dn is strong, the other more of a perimeter game. Do you want Oden floating around the 3 pointline trying to stay with Okur? Makes no sense at all.
Sign Millsap...Trade LMA/Bayless/Outlaw/Joel to NOH for CP3/Chandler...then you have... CP3/Blake Roy/Rudy Batum/Webster Millsap/Pendergraph Oden/Chandler Can you say Finals anyone!
Does this mean that Boozer is not going to trick the Jazz into letting him go, like he did Cleveland, just to make more millions?
It's hard to argue with what Boozer got out of the deal. Best move he's had in the NBA on/off court IMO.
I think "absolutely destroyed us" may be a bit of a hyperbole. He destroyed us in game two, but LMA did pretty well in the two blow outs in the rose garden. In game 4 the Jazz had absolutely no fucking answer for him. This was discussed in depth for a week on their local radio stations. 10/6 vs LMA 18/2 17 /12 vs LMA 22/6 7/2 vs LMA 14/6 9/4 vs LMA 26/ 5
