Boozer to NJ - Why I think it will happen

I definitely wanted Cuz. (HUGE multi-generational UK fan, by the way)

Favors is well worth a big deal though, just sayin a S&T (by itself) isn't enough to get Favors away from the Nets.

Lets all get real though, this is fan speculation, not actual speculation. We wanted Cousins, not Favors. I can guarantee we will not trade for Favors, unless its an extremely favorable deal where we dont have to take on any huge contracts.

Trade what??? What leverage does the Jazz REALLY have utilizing Boozer?

I can't see why Nets would want Boozer over Favors. Nets are young and have time to build a contender. Favors has far more upside than Boozer ever did. Favors and Lopez together have a 10 year plus window of opportunity. Nets don't need to get Lebron to be very good. They have enough money to add players like Joe Johnson at SG and Rudy Gay at SF to be instant playoff team next year.

This shows that you, like everyone else, isn't thinking right. Why would you want Favors, who has a good chance of NEVER being as good as Boozer, and Gay and make the playoffs when you could have Boozer (a guaranteed 20/10 guy in the WC, will be better in the East) and LeBron and win championships. Favors is nothing if you can get Boozer and LeBron.

Favors is much, much, much too valuable an asset to be a component for a Booze S&T. This is crazy talk.

You completely over-rate Favors. He has accomplished NOTHING other than bad stats for someone with his supposed talent. He is an underachiever on a bad team. Boozer is a 20/10 guy, and anyways, Boozer ISN'T THE PRIZE. YOU ARE TRADING FAVORS FOR LEBRON. Boozer gets you LeBron. Wade isn't going to play with LeBron, Bosh wants to be his own man, and he can't do that with LeBron, Amare isn't as good as Boozer (and before you shake your head, 4 rebounds in the playoffs is not good. That is pathetic) and Boozer is better than Johnson. Like I said before, with Boozer, NJ has the best chance of landing LeBron because they can give him everything he wants, unlike everybody else.

Favors is a lot closer to Marvin Williams than to Boozer.
 
Lol, Favors is a beast who can rebound and play defense. He put up bad numbers at GT because the position he played at had a good upperclassmen at it. Also their guards blew and couldnt get him the ball. Favors is nothing like Marvin Williams, he is nothing like Boozer either (besides rebounding ability). He is more like Dwight Howard, an athletic freak with a big frame who is a willing defender.

Really? You do realize that we are talking about the same guy that swindled a blind guy. We are talking about the guy that just wanted to get his "raise." Boozer is about the benjamins and we can give him the most. Utah owns his soul, because we can give him the most. Boozer will go to the team that will give him the most $$$ and that is Utah or a S&T. NJ is the only team that can give him max money and not have it adversely affect them.

I don't know if it will happen or not, but with all the evidence out there, this makes more sense than any other senario.

Delusional. About Favors being overrated. About Boozer being a draw for LeBron (WoW!!!). Maybe right about Amare though, I'll give you that.

LOL. Favors has done NOTHING. Boozer is a top 5, possibly top 3 PF. There is no doubt if you are NJ. If Boozer gives the best chance for LeBron, Favors is nothing. Nada. Zilch. NOTHING.

You're missing the point. We're talking about Favors as an asset, not how good he is or isn't. He's an extremely, extremely, valuable asset to Jersey. If they told everyone he was available, they'd be inundated with phone calls.

No, that is exactly my point. Favors can land them LeBron. That is the point. Boozer is just the means to an end. Boozer makes the Nets look more attractive than any other player not named Bosh, and there is no way Bosh would take the risk to sign with NJ and watch Chicago win more games. Boozer would be happy winning titles or 10 games, as long as he gets his "raise."
 
You know, this is pure speculation on my part, but can you think of a better way for NJ to get LeBron. This just seems to make too much sense to me. They can get a top PF, clear cap space, keep Lopez and Harris, and, I believe, have the best chance at LeBron. I dunno, can you think of a better way for them to get LeBron?

Okay, can one "bow back in" ... ? Anyway, this trade has major legs. At the Nets board and has been discussed, lightly, across a couple of other media outlets ... ALL making speculative news.
 
No one is going to do a sign and trade for Booz - there is no reason to do so. He will not be given a max contract.
 
Green-

Way to Bogart my idea. Yours obviously has more wheels because mine's already on to page two in this forum but that still doesn't mean that you're not a hack. You are.

There is plenty of reason to do so...if it "nets" (ha ha) LeBron. This is not the Jazz, or NO we are talking about. This is the Russian Mark Cuban, who said he was going to compete for a title NEXT year. Not in two or three when Favors may or may not pan out. Harris, defensive sg who can hit threes, LeBron, Boozer and Lopez is a contender next year. NEXT year. Guaranteed.
