FF Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 great points... though part of me feels like Booze will be chasing the $$$ and end up somewhere else. boozer couldn't wait till the end of the season to mouth off about opting out. such lousy timing .....when you've been on the injured list for 10 +games and the team is getting nada for the dollars they pay you ...when your backup is averaging double-doubles i your absence while getting only $ 800 K per season...when america is headed for a recession and you want a raise on your projected $ 12 M 2009 salary ah such a seer you are GOG. i know i said otherwise but you're right ... chances are boozer gets traded this season or walks off to another team.

FF Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 shorthanded jazz beat mavs .... significant stat : koufos and fesenko combine for 26 points and 12 rebounds and fall in 2OT to the rockets ! significant stat : missing okur , millsap and boozer ... rockets feast in the paint ; outrebounding the jazz 56-40.

To TRADE or NOT to TRADE BOOZER.. :upside: That is the question for JAZZ fans.. :goatee: You risk of gaining nothing in return if he do signs up w/ another team.. IMHO: For you guys, he already did it once to the CAVS.. :goatee: Quote Link to comment

FF Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) even with today's win over the chris paul led hornets , the 21-15 jazz are still treading water at 3rd place in the NW division behind Denver and Portland. with boozer scheduled to undergo knee surgery and the recent spate of injuries ( utah has lost 100 man games and this BEFORE the season's midpoint ). plyoffs wise ... the jazz occupy the NINTH and last spot in the West. However it's not all doom and gloom as the jazz are only 3 games behind the 4th place hornets . imho ... the jazz need major help if they are to retake the NW crown (the billups - iverson swap for denver and the emergence of portland's kiddie korps are also key factors behind the jazz slide to third.) problem is they don't have that many chips to bargain with. millsap is a bright spot, williams is still an all-star but the team needs a third wheel to make it back to the western elite. dang ! can we trade boozer and get a big man in return ?

However it's not all doom and gloom as the jazz are only 3 games behind the 4th place hornets . What was the specific injury of Boozer that required knee surgery? A knee hit is always a dicey proposition; sometimes the player needs a lot of time to come back to pre-surgery form but at times never regains what he lost. This is going to determine his value as trade bait when he comes back, if you're just talking pure talent. You guys will be alright. Sloan is a hell of a coach and runs a solid, stable system. I actually like your playoff chances more than Phoenix's. But there's no question that you need frontcourt help, and you really ain't going anywhere in the playoffs without that help.

They say Booz had arthroscopic knee surgery, which generally means 4-8 weeks being out. Better hope your medical care is better than ours. They said the same thing about Bynum last year and look what happened. I don't know about your more recent lineups but back in 1991-92, i remember you started 3 guards. Edwards, J. Malone and Stock.

FF Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 bro webslinger....okur's gotta step up withe boozer on the shelf. so far , utah's been putting up the points during the 4 game win streak. kaya lang the season will get tougher towards and into the playoffs. so far utah hasn't shown anything that will indicate that it's built to go deep into the post-season. :hypocritesmiley: Quote Link to comment

PimpDadi Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I hope Utah win over the Lakers tomorrow. Must win for the Jazz to have a chance to be a sixth seed and not the 8th (current position). Jazz has all the tie breakers against New orleans and Dallas. A win over the disinterested Lakers (can't catch Cavs anymore) will certainly put more pressure for dallas to beat houston :thumbsupsmiley: unfortunately same is true for the hornets to break out of their shooting slump to beat the spurs :thumbsdownsmiley: the bad thing is that both games start at 8PM (eastern time) :thumbsdownsmiley: Quote Link to comment
