TRADE IDEA TO IMPROVE RAPTORS:
w/ Chicago Bulls
Chicago trades Carlos Boozer for Calderon and Amir Johnson/ Linas Kleiza
Chicago is committed to Taj Gibson as their future PF and have been looking to amnesty Boozer probably this summer. Calderon is an expiring contract and can fill in as PG until Derrick Rose is back. Amir, especially, would be an adequate back-up PF behind Gibson.
Toronto has many weakness, but rebounding and post play is a big one. Boozer is a strong defensive rebounder and can score in the paint. He can play with outside-shooting Bargnani, just as he did Okur. A team of Bargnani, Lowry, Boozer, and Valanciunas could be competitive for a low playoff seed in the east. Toronto also has a hard time signing free agents, so Boozer fills a need, as no other All-Star caliber player will sign with them.
Seems like win-win to me. Agree or disagree?
