He's 27 yrs old, mature, and a great lockerroom/teammate. But I can see your point.
I really like Parsons. But doesn't he essentially take away from Hood? Parsons is a 30 min starter. Is he going to give that up to come split time with hood? Or Hayward?
Yeah, I guess for all intents and purposes he is one but he's still my little boy finding his way in this world we call the NBA. Sigh.
Delonte West is still a UFA!
SIGN HIM!
Trains Planes Automobiles, gotta have my dough-nuts!
So Boozer to the Jazz then? I posted that as a possibility last week, I think others have also speculated it. Now David Locke jumps on 1280 and says it, and DJJazzyJody is tweeting it.
Jazz would have to do a massive PR blitz to recondition the fan base, or just buy him out.
If Carmelo wants to sign with Chicago, they'll need to clear some space. They're at $66.5M with 11 players + McDermott. To sign 'Melo to a MAX deal would require them getting rid of Boozer and other salaries. But unless they're getting rid of Taj Gibson, I can't see why they wouldn't just amnesty Boozer. Sure, it saves them the actual cash to trade him, but would they be willing to part with a good asset along with him? I just don't see why they have to do a trade.
If I were Lindsey and the Bulls wanted to dump $16M on my books, the price would be McBuckets...nothing less.
Only good asset I can see them parting with is Mirotic. I'd love to take on Booz for a year to get Mirotic. Hello stretch 4.
We could amnesty Boozer, then. Sure would be a tragedy to see him take minutes away from Favors/Kanter/Gobert.
I don't think we can amnesty Boozer Big Mike. Am I right?
NopeI don't think we can amnesty Boozer Big Mike. Am I right?
Nope
Can only amnesty players who were under contract with our team when the latest collective bargaining agreement was reached
Have the Bulls had the McBucketts introduction presser yet?
If they trade his rights before he signs with them it can be done anytime. If McBucketts signed his contract he can't be traded until December, I think.
You probably don't think of JLIII as a vet then? Hadn't he played less career minutes then Burks?
