Trevor Booker

[sonofthebigdog]

Bought out by the Sixers and signed by the Pacers. Why didn't DL sign him? He could really help.

 

[Douchebag K]

No he couldn’t

 

[DasJazz]

Well that was quick. I was kinda hoping we could've gotten him but it's not like he's a huge difference maker, just an energy guy with no shot.

 

[sonofthebigdog]

The last couple of losses it is my $.25 opinion we haven't had a lot of energy expended on the floor except for the chucking.

I love Booker. I would love to have him back. If we lose Favors in the offseason, I could see us looking at him as an option to play some minutes at Power forward.

I think Book wants to go to a place he can play more minutes though.

Book isn't really a stretch 4 either.

 

[Archie Moses]

Why are people's first reaction is to blame or question a gm if a guy they like isn't signed?

*bangs head*

 

[gomretat]

Love Book but he doesn't fill a need right now. Even if we offered I am guessing he said no based upon minutes.

He's not getting many minutes anywhere.

Non-basketball reasons to sign Booker: Fan favorite, great guy.

Basketball reasons to sign Booker: None.

Coaching reasons to sign Booker: He'll teach the kids to kick ***.

U seriously had to make a thread for this?

Also, thank god DL didn't sign him

I still don't understand why Philly released him, seems like they downgraded.

 

[Jack Strop]

I still don't understand why Philly released him, seems like they downgraded.

Maybe because Booker is shooting 26% on his 3's and Ilyasova is at 36%.

I understand the emotional attachment to a guy who plays hard. But Booker just isn't that good.

Rock on!

 

[karl malone]

Wasn't necessarily a need but def a guy you want on your team during a playoff push, even if only for what he brings to a locker room. I'm not overly familiar with IND's big man situation but I assume he's chasing playing time. Tho I'd be surprised if DL didn't at least inquire on him, as his mentality would have fit seamlessly along with DM, Gobert, Ingles, Crowder, etc.

 

[candrew]

I know Booker is kind of a cult hero and a like-able guy but other than an occasional thunderous dunk or help D block I thought he was a pretty mediocre basketball player with an antiquated game.

 

[sonofthebigdog]

But he did kick Kanter's behind in his return to SLC and then told him about it afterward.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Everyone forgets how much we complained about him constantly missing layups

 

[Douchebag K]

he makes Rubio look like he has velvety silky touch off the glass with his layups.

Because he wouldn't help. I liked Booker as much as most, but he'd struggle to even get on the floor for our team right now.

No shot? What the hell are you talking about?

He's made 100% of his attempts at this shot. And it's unguardable. I predict that as the NBA evolves, by 2070 both teams will take almost nothing but this shot every single time down the court.

Bwahaha!
