Jazz fanz - rejoice!!! (re: Boozer)

[VINYLONE]

I'll admit that the most prominent thing I know about Thibodeau is that he's willing to sit Boozer. This is why I'd like the guy. Not because of some Boozer hate, but because he breaks the mold that everyone gets into of "well this guy is one of our best players and he needs to okay always" thinking. It's refreshing to see someone approach the big picture.

Flame away.

You're absolutely right. An ability to adapt to the game and put the team in a position to win is refreshing.

looks like dantoni quit....lol

where will boozer go now?

You think Dantoni will be there next year?

Yes. Lakers have already announced he'll return.
Besides, with him on board, Gasol will definitely leave. And I think LA wants that to happen, but doesn't want to offend Kobe as Gasol is his BFF, despite some love spats they've had here and there. There are no big name FA's available (well, besides Anthony and Hayward). Nash comes off the books after next season and LA likely goes after two MAX FA's to pair with Kobe for another couple of years. Two MAX FA's added to a lottery pick this summer and next...that's a pretty good team.

Interesting. I thought for sure they'd kick him to the curb.

It sounds like he decided to leave after the Lakers wouldn't use the team option for another year on him. Tomayto, Tomahto.

If the Bulls were willing to give up 2 first round picks in an effort to trade Boozer instead of amnestying him or in need of a third team to facilitate a Carmelo deal with NY, I would certainly hope that the Jazz would seriously consider that.

If the Bulls were willing to let us have Thibideau as long as we take Boozer and his god awful contract, I'd do it in a heartbeat, they don't even need to give us the 2 first round picks. We can give Boozer the Raja Bell treatment...you'll get paid, but stay the **** away from the team please.
