He looks a lot like boozer, all offense, no offense.
With Williams he will be putting good numbers.

I don't think any package short of Deron will get us Amare.

I think a Boozer S&T in the off season could work. I can't see a deal where Boozer can walk in 4 months though.

Unless they feel certain that Amare would walk, I'm not sure why they'd trade down.

How is Okur this season? Suns may be interested in a deal of maybe Booz + Okur? Booz may be a 4 month rental, but its not a guarantee Amare stays in Utah either so I think it might be close to fair...

Meh. Is he really that big of an upgrade over what we have now? I guess he could be pretty effective offensively paired with Deron, but he manages to play even worse D than Boozer and Memo, despite being twice the athlete...

But amare is what utah needs, a shot blocker. He may not be a good defender but he can defiantly block shots and he will actually try to block them.

Carlos Boozer is a more productive player than Stoudemire... and a better teammate. If Carlos was signed for the next couple years, I think Phoenix would trade Stoudemire for him even up. Boozer would be a good fit in Phoenix. I have a little trouble seeing the wisdom of gaining Stoudemire's shot-blocking ability when he blocks less than one shot a game more than Boozer, while grabbing four fewer rebounds per game.
