As a Jazz fan it's always nice for two objects of hatred to come together. Helps me conserve energy.

ESPN Article

The Los Angeles Lakers have acquired Carlos Boozer on amnesty waivers, sources told ESPN.com.

Boozer was released by the Chicago Bulls earlier this week, and teams with cap space could make a bid on a portion of his $16.8 million contract.

The Lakers made the highest bid in a blind auction and were awarded him on Thursday shortly after 5 p.m. ET.

Boozer averaged 13.7 points and 8.3 rebounds for the Bulls last season.

Only nine teams in the league had sufficient salary-cap space to bid for Boozer: Atlanta, Charlotte, Houston, Milwaukee, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Utah and the Lakers.

After a rough start to free agency, Los Angeles now has secured relative bargain deals with Memphis Grizzlies free-agent forward Ed Davis and Boozer to upgrade their frontcourt cast.

I think Houston was the perfect spot for both him and the team. But it will be fun to BOOOOO so hard when the Lakers come to town.

His greatest hits:
AND ONE
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGH
I'M BANGING A BACHELOR REJECT
INTENTIONAL AS A MOTHER****ER
GET A RAISE REGARDLESS
BLING BLING MY MAN
 
Great news! My hatred for the Lakers was starting to wane...now it can get back to a respectable level again.
 
Boozer and Randle? Can you get two guys who suck more at defense?

i think it's funnier that the only way the Lakers can get a free agent is to buy one against their will. And right after they got that massive tv contract. Booz will help the team, I wonder how much they will have to pay to have him? It may be a good deal for them. As for Booz and Randle, I think this is basically them taking what they can get and figuring how to make it work later. And getting drafted high doesn't guarantee starting, just ask Deron.

As a traditional wing 3. He likes to bang and play with his back to the basket very similar to newly acquired Booz

May be you missed my #analysis of Randle's SF skillz.

Here ya go bro:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6sCTv0TGYw

- 0.05min: Randle iso on the 3pt line, dribble drive into the paint and SLAMS it

- 0.16min: Randle again up top, dribble around his defender, floater against shot blocker

- 0.43min: Randle again starting from the 3pt line, dribble penetration, rises up and banks it in off the glass

- 1.09min: Again, dribbles, gets into the lane, leaner over the shorter defender and in

- 1.36min: Randle receives the ball top of the key, spin move into the lane and hook shot over the defender

Thanks bro
I still don't see him as a 3 in the nba
6'-9" 250 is a power forward body and that's where I see him playing.

Vonleh is small forward Randle is power forward. Www.draftexpress.com/mock
 
Great move for the Lakers. Boozer could mentor Randle and relieve some of the scoring pressure off Kobe. He probably would have helped make Houston a Championship contender, but he has a chance to be closer to All Star form with the Lakers.
