RUMOR: Boozer to Miami?

[Deleted member 95]

Hell yes, this trade at least gives us the potential to be better.

You need to learn to stay in character. David would never want us to be potentially better.

I give it 1/2 stern-buttons* out of 5.

Wait, you can do three FA's in a S&T? That's news to me.

I don't see why not. The signing happens before the trading (although it's all planned and agreed to in advance)

 

[fatchipper]

If it's possible to do this trade, get it done yesterday. I'm all for it.

The 3 free agents in a sign and trade is possible but I just don't see how it could work out. Too much room what that many agents to have things go wrong. All it takes is one of them to say "wait i don't like this" at the last minute to try to leverage getting a little bit more and it would throw the deal off.

I am not totally sure how the rule works but, as far as I know, since Miami is under the cap, salaries of players subject to the trade does not have to match. So why would not the teams try sign&trade Boozer vs Beasley. Then teams can chase other free agents mentioned ( Korver & O'neal).

This is my thinking also.

Why make things so confusing by adding Korver and O'neal?

Unless, The Jazz really want O'neal and can get him cheap.

Also if O'neal is a FA there is no way he chooses to come to Utah.

Am I the only one that was under the impression that O'neal sucked last year and his body was basically giving out on him?

I guess I could look up stats or something but I dont feel like it.

I'll take Beasley as his talent outweights his cons; if he flakes out, let him leave as a FA. At least you get something for Boozer as well as scare the crap out of the rest of the east by giving three potential max contracts to Miami.

I assume you are talking about Jermaine O'Neal in this deal. Jermaine has little in the tank left, but he'd be a decent player coming off the bench and clocking some minutes.

 

[candrew]

Would I do it - yes. Unless O'Neal was getting anything more than 2 years maximum. I'm pretty sure his knees are being held together by spit and Scotch Tape.

Do I believe it will happen - no.

 

[UGLI baby]

Ok, O'neal wasnt as bad as I thought last year.

Even if O'Neal is really bad, he'd still be by far the best option to start in place of Memo.
