"Who wouldn't want to play with Superman?'' Boozer asked FanHouse after Utah's Monday morning workout at Amway Arena. "It would be great. We're like brothers. On top of his competitiveness, and his dominance on the court, he's so much fun to be around. Yes, the two of us could work well together, two dominant inside players. But we'll just have to see what happens.''

First Chicago, then Miami, now Orlando. Lets get rid of this fool, I dont care how well he has been playing, he is always going to be a distraction. Its mentioned that Orlando would need a sign and trade to make this happen. I know this has been discussed before, but who would you want in return? Should we keep the expiring for ourselfs? Who could we sign with the extra space?

He's not saying he wants to play in Orlando. He's responding to questions and answering them in a diplomatic way. Maybe he wants the Jazz to sign him? It's nothing.

Boozer trying to drum up interest in his services. I predict the team that signs him will be sorry.

Who ever signs him will be a better team for it. His deficiencies are well documented now, unlike when the Jazz signed him. Anyone who signs him will know exactly what they are getting in him. If there is some deal to be worked out with Orlando I would want Gortat and Pietrus. However, that puts us right back where we are financially, and I really think we could make a better deal.

Personally I think the best trade would be Boozer and filler to Washington for Caron Butler and either Javalee McGee or Brendan Haywood. It gives us exactly what we need in a SF and C, also solves Washington's most glaring weakness in a low-post scorer. If he doesn't work out for them, then they are no worse off then they are now, plus they have about 10 million to work with this summer.

I don't have a problem with what he said. With the cap dump we just did it might be easier to make a quality trade for Boozer.

If Booze keeps being the 20-10 guy then keep him. But i don't think he can lead this team to a championship. We need a third guy. Somebody that can light up the 3 in his **** sleep.

More than that, we need somebody that can motivate us when games get tough and help prevent fourth quarter losses to the likes of Orlando and home losses to the likes of the **** Timberwolves.

Lately i've been wanting to get rid of Okur for somebody decent. Somebody that has balls in the paint. Between Booze and our mystery man D-will would have a lot more options to go to. Its just sometimes I love Okur and would hate to see him go.... sometimes.

Could you imagine a team with Boozer and Howard both on it? The offensive firepower and rebounding prowess would be incredible. I bet Boozer would be an annual all-star with a top notch shot blocker by his side.

On the related note of good centers in this league, Portland just lost their backup C, who could start on pretty much any other team, for a long, long time. Really good centers are getting harder to come by...

Disagree.

You might make this claim, LAST year, in the offseason, but now it's a totally legitimate question.

The only answer is that Boozer is gone, gone, gone, and Utah doesn't even want him back.

Please God, let us dump this piece of **** for an impact player.

Thank you, Jebus. (I don't even believe in Jebus)

What ever he says, what ever he truly wants. it doesn't matter. He has shown his willingness to play well and that's all that matters. The GMs and agents will figure out the rest.
