Okur, Brewer for Dalembert

If we signed Biedrins, this move would look ALOT better.

but otherwise, we are without a center

I was looking on the Utah board, and alot of them how soured on Boozer bigtime. They say he doesnt play with alot of effort. Some have even went as far as to say they would trade him for Sam. What is the deal with Boozer? is he an overpaid scrub or is he a top 5-10 PF in the league?

Boozer is still a very good player. They naturally will be down on him after the last two games he played against the Lakers. He couldn't put home a basket inside and had numerous chances.

yeah i was over there also and i knew boozer was slumping at the end of the season and the playoffs but they make it sound like he's been down most of the year and really took a nose dive after the all-star break.

i don't know if i could call him a top 5 pf at the top of his game. he's always been a piss poor defender

Boozer for Sam would be a great trade for us talentwise but fills a hole and creates a new one.

If we did this trade, Id do EVERYTHING in my power to aquire a guy like Biedrins or Okafor, even if it meant doing a s+t and including our 1st.

Miller
Iggy
Thaddeous
Boozer
Okafor

That's a Sixer's fan only hopes of winning a championship. We'd have to give up more than picks, cap space to get Okafor though. Larry Brown will not let him go for cheap.

what about beidrins, if baron is gonna opt out, I can definitely see them taking a pick and cap space instead of throwin down big dough

UptownPhilly · Post #28 » by **UptownPhilly** » Mon May 19, 2008 2:38 am

Biedrins is more likely. I see no reason for them to not resign him, even if Baron opts out. They have a young core of him, Monta, and Brandan Wright. Besides, it's hard to find good young centers.

IDK if anyone can help me out on this, but there is an article about the Heat being interested in Boozer next year and him opting out of a contract. However, isnt this not allowed? Given Boozers past, I would think the NBA wouldnt allow for this to happen.

I'd actually rather see Beidrens playing center for us then Okafor. He is bigger and will cost less.

Yeah, that's nice. Just one question: Where's our bench.

Excellent Question. Exactly where is our bench? Did you kill them?

Getting back to the original proposal, I would have been great guns for it earlier last season, now I'm not so sure. Brewer started out putting up some nice numbers and Carney looked like crap. After the Korver trade Brewer's game seemed to decline while Carney took off. Brewer is the better shooter, but his all-around game is weaker. If I am getting back a three point shooting C in return for a shot-blocking C, I want the second player to be better than Brewer.

Going to be tough to pry Biedrins away from the Warriors.

BTW I can't believe someone called Okur a low post scorer, not even a close description of his game.

No way Carney is better all round than Brewery . I just saw Brewer putting up a decent defensive effort against Kobe . Not only that He can even score on a Defensive 1st team player consistently.

Completely agree with this. Brewer is by far the better all-around player. He's a superior defender, he's better putting the ball on the floor, he better at attacking the basket (unless Carney is free for an uncontested dunk). I would say the only area Carney is better at is shooting the 3 and even there, Carney isn't real good.

Don't forget, Brewer started at SG for an elite NBA team. Carney could barely win minutes with a team that is extreemly weak at SG. That has to mean something.
