Boozer to Houston?
Clutchfans and Spurstalk are buzzing that it was reported on the local radio stations in Houston, it would be Scola + Artest for Boozer. No legitimate source as of yet, but no I don't want this!
I don't know what to think, I might even want to put a bullet through my head.

I highly doubt anything with Boozer is going down.

Why...
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

Re: Boozer to Houston?
I don't like this trade. Sure if Boozer can contribute right away, his ability to stretch the floor and grab rebounds will be valuable to the team. However, the problem is that he has 2 years left in his contract with the final year being a player's option. We're aware of his tendencies (e.g.: Cleveland) and I have no doubt that he'll opt out of his contract this off-season. If he does opt out, we've basically given up Scola for nothing.
EDIT: Of course this will change if we can win a championship this season. But really, what are the chances?

Re: Boozer to Houston?
Why...
If your referring to me, well it's possible, it allows Millsap to grow, and have Scola as the backup, while picking Artest who could be a potentially valuable piece, all while being a risk that could potentially pay off for us, but I'm not really buying the source. Could be wrong though, if something like this were to go down, I'm not sure how my reaction would be, it'd all be dependent on how good McGrady is feeling.

I was wondering why we would do this...

Boozer is our mortal enemy.. Besides he's always injured and I'm sure without Scola we'd be screwed with nobody to block out and rebound + score in the post besides Yao. Scola is our only other post option because Landry is still wet behind the ears. I don't want Boozer,, I want our guys to punish them in the Play Offs.. Revenge Bitch.

Re: Boozer to Houston?
Id rather make a similiar package and land Amare. Eventhough he might opt out it will give us some options in 2010. If him tmac and yao were healthy in the playoffs they could do damage and amare might wanna stay and we can evaluate tmac and yao then

Re: Boozer to Houston?
T-Mac United,
Boozer has 1 more yr on his contract-and it's a player option. He's told Utah-and everybody else-he's going to excercise his option and be a FA this coming summer.(and everybody assumed early on he was headed to Miami.)
However,it strikes me as pretty bogus,more somebody playing GM. One,it puts Hou into the Lux Tax,something we know the Rockets won't do. Second,Utah has 15 players,trading away 1 for 2 gives them 1 too many.

Re: Boozer to Houston?
Please god no.
Usually i'm a very rational guy. Not wanting Boozer here is strictly personal. I hate the man.

Re: Boozer to Houston?
I think this is complete BS if you ask me
why
1. Ron Artest is the last guy on this planet that Jerry Sloan want to coach.
2. Morey tried really hard to put us at least close to the salary cap, this trade would make up over the cap by 3-6 millions, no way Alexander want to do that.
3. Boozer already stated that he is going to leave, no point to keep him on the roster.
4. Boozer's game is really close to Yao's game cept for the mid range jump shots, he is the low post offense presence and good rebounder, but we already have Yao (he is better than him in both category IMO)
5. We wont trade Scola unless it's something we can't miss (Amare, maybe Vince)
This is completely false speculation by somebody that has no clue about what's going on.

Artest and Scola for Boozer ?? Two undersized forwards for a true PF who can do everything. I'd do this trade in a heartbeat, only if Boozer would stay for us for the long run though.

Yeah i would do that trade in a heartbeat also. I think Boozer is the better 3rd option on our team than Artest and he plays a position where I think we really need help at on offense, PF. Only if he sins with us long term.

...What? No. The four is our most productive position by far. Between Landry and Scola, we're going to score more than enough points at PF. That's the last position that needs to be addressed. I can't believe we're involved in all of these rumors, yet our glaring weakness at PG continues to be overlooked.

Re: Boozer to Houston?
now, this is a deal I would do, but it would have been sweeter with Artest and Landry
