Detroit needs another big man. As of the moment, they only have Jason Maxiell (undersized), Charlie Villanueva (perimeter oriented) and Kwame Brown (insertjoke).

he can do what Dahntay Jones did, I guess. I really don't have any idea what Joe is doing anymore.... I just hope our starting center this year isn'tKwame Brown.

Especially when they play LAL
Dude's a bum
Pardon my ignorance, but why can't OKC go after Boozer?
They don't have a ton of talent they can give up right away, but they have a couple contracts they can give up that end after this season, they have futurepicks that could work, wouldn't Westbrook, Green, Durant, Boozer, Kristic work out nice, with Harden, Collison, Sefolosha off the bench?
They don't have to give up the best picks, just one or two, make them lottery protected, Utah gotta be lookin to move Booz for 50 cents on the dollar, sothey can keep Milsap, OKC need to get on this.

OKC doesnt need to give much away, they have cap space so they can absorb his contract. Im pretty sure they havent signed anyone yet right? theywere supposed to go after millsap or lee.

They don't, that's why I wish our stupid FO would go ahead and absorb his damn contract for one year. I can't believe they would rather takeRandolph for two years than Boozer for one year. Boozer would be the better option long term anyways, so I would look to extend him after this season.

Magic will retain Gortat. They matched the full MLE offer from Dallas.
An NBA source has told the Orlando Sentinel that the Orlando Magic will match the five-year, $34-million offer sheet extended by the Dallas Mavericks to MarcinGortat and thus retain him. The team would not be able to trade him until Dec. 15, at the earliest, if that's what the team wants to do.

In all honesty, I didn't think Orlando was going to officially match either.

Even if the Jazz is trying to trade Boozer, I'm sure they're not just willing to give him away. I'm sure the Jazz would ask for a lot more than Q.Rich for Boozer.

Well in that case they don't want to get rid of Boozer. Utah doesn't need more players on expiring cap space costing them money. If they were willingto keep that salary they wouldn't even be entertaining the thought of trading Boozer. Think about it. He's off the books NEXT year.
The savings is the driver for them. Not getting players as compensation for Boozer.
We can offer them that or possibly OKC. Outright. Now, if Utah isn't looking to get cap relief that's a different story so I wouldn't be surprisedto see Boozer go in a deal similar to what Pau was traded for a while ago.
As far as a prospect, if they did want one, If I thought we could re-sign Boozer (because he'd be inclined to take the most money from us) I'd offerDarrell Arthur. Nothing more.

Nice move ORL. This team aint goin anywhere w/o Gortat..
Contenders for what?
Div1, the point is, a team can offer Utah a 6 pack of nothing, the Jazz would get to keep Milsap. In effect, any team that deals with the Jazz is basiacallyoffering them Milsap, that's the point. They wouldn't give away Boozer for nothing, but they would give him away for nothing to keep their own guy.
Now sure, they'd like to get a little extra from a team, picks, a player or two, whatever. But if Booz ain't in their plans, and they're gonnalose him for nothin next year anyways, and it could keep them from getting Milsap back, then yeah, I'm pretty sure they'd move him for just aboutanything at this point. Thing is, it doesn't have to be this week, it just has to be before the start of the season chemistry wise, or by the deadline,money wise.
