No, no one else has heard of it. I wonder how that thread down there got started.
</talking like people who don't know how to read>
UTAH TRADES:
PF- CARLOS BOOZER
UTAH RECIEVES:
SG- CARON BUTLER
SF- DEAVON GEORGE
C- VLADE DIVAC
I read it on ESPN boards and Jazz boards, anyone else hear of this rumor?

I think divac is gonna put the Jazz over the top
interesting trade
I dont understand Utah's reasoning for that trade.
Vlade Divac and Devian George?!?!!?
Lakers starting 5
Mihm
Boozer
Odom
Bryant
Atkins.
Thanks Utah, you officially put the Lakers into the playoffs and make them a top 6 team probobly.
If Kobe Bryant had brain one, hed share the ball with Odom and Boozer, and they would become IMO a pretty damn good team.
Thats some serious startive 5 talent.
Someone please tell me that Utah isn't this stupid. I didn't realize they had hired Scott Layden to run their team.
BTW
Butler
Divac and George make 14 mill a year???
I understand Butler has a rookie contract, but how much did he give George and Divac for godsake.
Utah, you make this trade, your in the lottery for the next 5 years numbnutses.
Butler + Divac + George = 11.5 million
Boozer = 10.9 million
*gulp*
, if that's all it takes RC needs to call the - Rasho + Devin + filler...
Rasho + Devin + WTF cares,
RC, break that up.
I think Utah is in the lottery for the next 5 years, whether they make this trade or not
That's as empty a rumor as the one circulating that Vince Carter wants to be traded back to the Raptors.
Silly! Silly!
We're at a point in the season where teams are not that desperate to trade. They've made their beds and are going to lie in them - after a whole lot of thumping the pillows.
The Spurs don't need to go changing anything. What is it with you guys? Isn't first place in the NBA good enough for you?
Can anybody just say, "Go! Spurs! Go!"? Geez, I can...
That would be a stupid trade for Utah. I think Larry Miller and Jerry Salon are smarter than that.
I disagree.
If Utah hangs onto Boozer, and makes it through this year, they would be a playoff team next year.
You guys forget, how good Utah was when they were healthy and playing together.
Arroyo and injuries ed the Jazz up.
If they trade Boozer, they are officially done.
If they were to make the playoffs it would be an 7th/8th seed at best, and Okur is pretty decent at the same position, I think the jazz would be smart to make a trade to get a young guard who can score
damm spurs could just give them barry and rasho for boozer
It's a trade rumor going around LA right now, Mitch is anxious to make a deal and has even called the Kings (though word there is that they hung up on him). Look for something to happen today or tomorrow (hopefully).
F T L
Doesn't make a ton of sense for Utah unless Devean and Divac waive their options for next season.
Fat chance.
There have got to be much better deals out there. I don't doubt that the Lakers made the offer, but I don't doubt that any Boozer negotiations begin with Odom and go up from there.
Wow. LA is freaking raping Utah in that deal. Boozer is exactly the kind of player that team needs.
Utah gave Ostertag $38 million. Case closed.
I think utah floated this rumor out there so they get a MUCH better offer for boozer
Boozer is an upgrade over what they got but it doesn't help them come playoff time. Boozer is just a bigger, stronger Malik Rose with better hands and younger legs.
It may be enough to get them to the playoffs but it won't be enough to get them past the elite teams. If the Lakers always want to just make the playoffs year-after-year, they can stand pat with this trade and the team that comes of it. They will be in cap for sometime and have just exceptions to get free agents.
if they trade boozer jazz will never get a fa to sign with them
if lakers do not trade odom or kobe for boozer
then they have 3 really good players
spurs have three really good players now
the advantage spurs have is they played together
3 ing players does not a team make. When you going to stop being so damn simplistic and understand that it takes a team believing in the style of ball that they play and sticking to that style no matter what?
That is what the Spurs do year-after-year, they get people to stick to the system and understand that they don't need to field the best players at every position, they just have to field the ones that best fit the defined roles that Pop & RC require. Having TP, Tony, & Tim isn't enough to win just like having Kobe, Lamar, & Carlos ain't enough.
Learn from what Kevin McHale has said in the past-
Recognize Ducks. The Lakers haven't played the right way the whole season, and their record reflects that."Everybody says you have to acquire the most talent, but they've got it ass-backwards," says Kevin McHale. "You can have all the talent, and it doesn't mean anything if you don't play the right way."
I know it takes more then three players
people need to think though if lakers do not give up odom for boozer
and they GEL AND PLAY AS A team they will be a threat
kobe is still a great player
