The Wizards might do it...don't know their salary implications.
No real reason for those other teams to have interest in Boozer. The only teams who might be interested in Boozer would be teams with no shot at a high pick.
Put yourself in the GM's shoes of either the Wizards, Raptors, Kings, Clippers, Grizzlies, TWolves, or Thunder. Chances are pretty good that one of those teams will get the #1 pick this year. Then lets just assume that Blake Griffin comes out this year. Would any of you trade the 2009 #1 pick (99% sure that Griffin would be the #1 pick) for Carlos Boozer, Utah's 2009 first round pick (#20 range), and the 2010 New York unprotected pick, which would most likely be a top 5 pick?

A very good possibility, though the Wizards would love to have Boozer to team up alongside Arenas and Butler, they are strapped somewhat on cap space.
Blake Griffin is a future NBA bust waiting to happen, I feel sorry for who ever drafts him.
They couldn't trade Boozer since he's a free agent once the season is over....they can't trade a player not on their roster. This thread = epic fail.
no he's not white enough
Fool. Boozer's only a free-agent if he opts out. Even though several months ago he said he would, given the economic climate and his injury, him doing so is anything but certain. He might opt out, he might not. I certainly wouldn't. Your post=epic fail.
Didn't he say something about not wanting to be in Utah because his daughter has an illness?
what blake griffin are you watching? he is a freaking monster.
And with Boozer it's not an opt out clause, it's a player option he has the choice of picking up or not, so your wrong when you said Boozer is only a free agent if he opts out.
LMFAO at you haggling over semantics.
No way a team deals the unquestioned top pick for a player potentially a one-year rental. Boozer's word means nothing in the NBA and there is no gurantee that the NY pick is a Top 5 one. Not to mention Blake should have close to the same production, at a much cheaper price, and also without the injury concern or height limitations. And he's marketable (as any top pick is) and sells tickets immediately over hype moreso than a guy like Boozer.
Not happening even in Jazz dreams.
They're two different things. Don't get mad at me that Boozer is gonna leave cause doing mormon prayers isn't curing his daughters disease, not my problem.
Who cares?
They'll need more than Blake or a healthy Boozer to get it done.
I actually think if they somehow got a good SG who can create off the dribble and make them less reliant on D-Will creating everything, that coupled with a healthy Boozer would make them a legit contender.
Right now their offense, as good as it is, relies too heavily on pick and rolls.
Most good teams are a piece or two away.
i think you got confused with Taylor Griffin.
I watch Griffin closely this weekend, concluded beyond a doubt he's an asshole.
Lots of talent, solid body, great moves and strength, and confidence, but he only hustles when he's calling for the ball.
Else, he's way too slow and too cool.
He can go as far as he wants to go, but I doubt he has the ethic and humility to pull it off.
IN COLLEGE......he's the classic college star that turns out to be a dud in the NBA. The dude is severely undersized and lacks toughness. He's JJ Re at the PF spot.
Again, sorry for however drafts him. you know it's a crappy draft when Blake Griffin is going #1.
Yes, they can miss the playoffs and win the lottery.
Agreed. At least Griffin will be able to look back 10 years from now and laugh at Tyler Hansbrough.
The JJ Re at the PF spot is Ty Hansborough, not even close. I also don't get how he lacks toughness, he gets cheap shotted and roughed up every time he plays and he gets right back up and doesn't let it affect him. Idk how he's not tough. I also don't get how he's "severely" undersized, a 6'9" PF IMO is slightly undersized.
Sean May 2.0
Seriously though, what ever happened to that kid?
Lol, that's the worst comparison ever. Blake Griffin is the consensus #1 because of freak athleticism, when Sean May's game is being discussed, athleticism isn't considered to be a part of it
This doesn't mean he's a good basketball player, but Blake Griffin won the national slam dunk contest for his high school class, which shows how athletic he is.
First of all people cheap shot him, because he allows it........the guy needs to stick up for himself, that's why I think he's soft.
Second if you think Blake Griffin is a legit 6'9 player you're mistaken....he isn't close to 6'9.
It's just a feeling I have, something tells me this guy is going to be a failure as a #1 ovrl pick.
