I would have said no before last night, but after seeing Rex play and not having McRoberts any more.....

I like this but am not sure it is worth it. Depends on if there are plans for our remaining space. If no place a bid.

If we have a deal on the table to dump Gary Neal for pure cap space, offer him $2M-$3M and see where it goes.

Boozer is talented, but not a fit with Big Al, and we wouldn't be able to trade him.

So is Boozer essentially just an unrestricted FA at this point?

If there is no Lance, then yes. Bid on Boozer, sign CDR and another PG.

Unless Cho has something up his sleeve in a trade, I really don't see any viable options out there for another wing.

It's an auction. He goes to the highest bidder.

I dont think he can pick the team, pretty sure he goes to whoever bids the highest

If no bids he will become a UFA but likely people will bid.

What a pathetic off season.

The Charlotte Hornets have a strong need for a veteran power forward and scoring punch alongside center Al Jefferson and could be strong candidates to bid on Boozer, league sources said. If Boozer goes unclaimed, he'll become a free agent able to sign with any team except Chicago http://sports.yahoo.com/news/sources--b ... 56455.html.

If we sign Boozer I suppose it´s because we have Cody Zeller on the rade block, along with Hendo and Neal, looking for an improvement in the SG position. If that´s the case I´m all in, if not I´d pass, thanks.

Though I have the feeling that Klay Thompson is going to come here

I can't help but laugh out loud every time I see this comment.

Can you still turn this into a poll?

Make a poll on how much we should bid, or not bid.

So, let me get this straight.

We draft Noah Vonleh instead of Doug McDermott, causing our starting PF Josh McRoberts to flee, necessitating that we overpay Marvin Williams and bid for the amnesthetized Carlos Boozer, who the Bulls got rid of partly so that they could pay their shiny new stud 3 pt shooter Doug McDermott?

And . . . we still don't have a reliable 3 pt shooter or starting PF?

Good times.

You really really don't want Boozer.

Post #18 » by **JDR720** » Tue Jul 15, 2014 10:12 pm

Boozer has played for Utah also, its to good for Cho to refuse

Post #19 » by **fatlever** » Tue Jul 15, 2014 10:23 pm

if he was a free agent this offseason, i wouldnt be mad if we signed him for a 1 year, 3 mil deal. so if we can get him for that, i think thats solid business. god knows it wouldnt hurt to have another low post threat for the alfense for when jefferson is out and we need offense.

i can make this a poll.

Post #20 » by **JDR720** » Tue Jul 15, 2014 10:31 pm

There is only one answer for that poll as far as im concerned

How much should we bid on Boozer?
