Boozer to NJ - Why I think it will happen

[NotDeadYet]

Good arguements both ways. I would expect NJ to be after Lebron. Either DWade or Joe Johnson would fill out their lineup. However, my thinking is DWade stays in Miami, maybe talking Bosh into joining him... Boozer in my book is a 2nd tier guy. Yeah, with those deep pockets, NJ might still give him a big contract. I don't see then trading away Favors just to sign Boozer though...

How would that trade work out? If I'm thinkin straight, don't we have to have equal amount of salary back to make it work? If so, A Favors for Booz would not work

NJ is under the cap so they can take back whatever they want. But Im guessing they'd trade Favors and another player to help keep as much cap space they can.

So would we save a lot of $ with this deal? What about a Favors and Yi for Booz

Sign me up. I don't see a Favors for Booze straight up. If they want to unload Yi then so be it.

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

Lurking until now. ^^^^^ This.

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.

 

[Dr. Jones]

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.

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

We could ask Booze pretty please.

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.
