2011 draft.....

They were reporting on what online mock drafts were saying. They didn't actually offer an opinion. It was actually pretty good journalism, you know, for sports.
I'd love to have me some Deng right now. He freaking shut down LeBron tonight. Holy crap the Bulls are good.

I would like the Bulls a lot if Boozer is not on them.
Let's not forget, folks: without Boozer on the Bulls, we have no Al Jefferson. Carlos didn't sign with the Bulls outright. He was signed-and-traded by US to Chicago for their big trade exception. Said big trade exception landed us Al Jefferson from Minnesota. Boozer didn't HAVE to do this. He could have just signed with Chicago straight up and left us really out to dry. But he didn't. I find it much easier to cheer for the Bulls than that mockery of a team in the Miami Heat and the LeBron James's "Decision" crap. Seriously, how bush league was that garbage?
Doesn't really matter, Dallas is going to crush all of the teams they play.

Understand all that... but I still don't like him. He just disappointed me too much too often when he was with the Jazz.
I thought this was the Chicago's GM that did this for KOC. Boozer didn't have anything to do with this...that was my understanding at least.
Boozer had to agree to it and sign a contract with the Jazz, I guess.
Yeah, I don't think Boozer gets much credit for this. I don't think he cares what he signs as long as he gets paid.

What are you going to do tomorrow to bring good lottery Karma to the Utah Jazz?
I'm thinking of wearing a black and copper Jazz uniform, and eat lunch at the Mayan. I also vowed last night that I would no longer criticize Boozer, and forgive KOC for giving away Eric Maynor.
3 & 7 BELIEVE IT.

This is off topic but I find it funny that every time I turn on the Bulls game Boozer is on the bench. I watched some of the last game with Atlanta and had a good chuckle when it was Rose, Brewer and few other bench guys closing out the game and kicking butt. No Booz, Noah or Deng. Great coaching and a deep team (glass half full) or coach new Booz would turn it over so he benched Booz for the win (glass half empty).
I'm going to kill 3 kittens, and pray to the devil.

That's Mr. Stern to you.
Boozer had to sign the contract with the Jazz. That's why it's called a sign-and-trade. They usually don't happen because they rely on three parties with conflicting motives to get done. Boozer reportedly came back to the Jazz with the Chicago offer and gave them a chance to match it but the Jazz refused.
Boozer's a bit of a chode, but the level of villainy he's portrayed with in Jazz fandom is ridiculous.
And while I don't like Jefferson, I can't blame Boozer for that.
they look like each other, therefore they must be the same type of player:
that is about the depth of thought that goes into most of this "scouting".
Leonard seemed to disagree with the Wallace comparisons too.
Also, is the lottery a televised event? If so, when and where?

DraftExpress: Utah fans, start learning how to pronounce the name Donatas Motiejunas. Hearing the Jazz really really like him at #6.
If they have #6, the guy is skinny but he's a player.

Uggh, I don't like him at six at all. True, he easily has one of the highest ceiling of any player in the draft, but I think he will probably slide to #12. But I'm not really worried about it. It's just a pre-workout, pre-combine, pre-lottery selection "rumor".
