    Shocked that cheap Chicago owner actually amnestised him. I guess this means Gasol does get a contract bigger than the MLE.

    Give Boozer a bit of credit, he's a good rebounder, brings toughness, has good range on his jumper for a PF, and scores well in the post. I'd take him on the Spurs for a decent price... Better than Jeff Ayers......

    ^Exactly... If you can name 3 players on the roster who are worse, then he is definitely worth consideration.

    Think big picture - Boozer is going to want court time, and with us he wouldn't get much. Also, he doesn't know the system, which usually takes 12-18 months for players to learn. The last thing this team needs is a locker-room distraction, which is almost certainly what Boozer would become. For those reasons I'd rather have Bonner over Boozer.

    As for Ayers and Daye, they are capable of holding down the 14-15th spots on the roster, know the system, good locker-room guys. Why replace that with Boozer, a shoot-first guy who is a poor passer and plays no D, and whose team-mates don't seem to like him? (Oh, and also a guy who made a commitment to the Jazz then reneged on it.)

    Boozer does not fit with the Spurs.

    Spurs still have the MLE to spend. If Boozer can be had for the MLE, I don't see why not. However, Spurs have had a similar player like Boozer in the past with Drew Gooden, and he didn't work out too well. Who knows.

    I'd say Boozer is a better defender and jump shooter than gooden.

    For some reason, I had a good impression of Boozer overall as a player and teammate. I didn't realize he has had issues with past teammates. To me, he always seemed like a smart, coachable player. But IDK, I could be wrong.

    I'd say Thibs disagrees with you. There was a graphic put up in a late season game about 4th Q minutes played on the Bulls. Booz had played fewer 4Q minutes than players no longer on the team like Deng, and players out for a while with injuries. Thibs didn't trust him with the game in the balance. He's a wretched defender, and sort of a big man version of Rudy Gay these days, an inefficient chucker on offense.

    No thanks.

    He tricked the former Cavs owner (who was blind) into non-tendering him so Cleveland could pay him more for having two good seasons. He promptly solicited offers around the league, and bolted for Utah. He's amoral at best, and a bad bad man at worst.

    It's not just from a basketball perspective(his style of play is awful), it's also from a personality standpoint, Boozer would cause problems with his lack of playing time/complaints, tbh..

    His game is no longer able to compliment his ego..

    We're comparing boozer to gooden here, not to deng. And Boozer's Drtg was a 98 this past season which was the second highest of his career and the same as TD's and better than Splitter's. His usage percentage was also his fourth highest of his career this past season so your stats are not telling the whole story. What's more is that total rebound percentage was 16.8, which was also better than Splitter's. Rebounding is a needed element we can use off the bench for the next season. Boozer simply would not be a bad pickup.

    Some team will claim him for about 4-4.5 mil and will strike gold at that price. He's severely underrated.

    Probably a WC rival of ours will get him at that price. He is not done either as you said, he is not a bum like some said in here.
