Goober Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Lakers will trade Vlade Divac, Caron Butler and Devean George to the Utah Jazz in exchange for big man Carlos Boozer http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/3410834 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 If this does happen, it's a very good trade for the Lakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Boozer is just not a real good fit in Utah. I thought he'd be the answer there, but when Kirilenko went down, everything fell apart and still is messed up after Kirilenko has returned.

backman Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 if it happens it could work out for both teams, boozer will help l.a and when george come backs he be a big help to utah, i like the trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHarris1 Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 (edited) I'm likein this deal for the Lakers. Kobe, Odom, Boozer. If that doesn't make the playoffs there is something seriously wrong. Edited February 21, 2005 by WHarris1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 You think Boozer is regretting screwing over Cleveland yet? Or Utah for taking advantage of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerhead johnson Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 QUOTE(TheDybber @ Feb 21, 2005 -> 10:35 PM) Not sure I like the trade unless Divac has an expiring contract. Vlade has a player option next year. Same with Devean George. Caron ain't making jack s***. LA Lakers Salaries I thought for sure that Odom would be involved in the Boozer deal, as he hasn't been able to coexist with Bryant. But like the article says, Odom could still be traded to another team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Utah for taking advantage of them? Well, he's a second round pick making 12 million per year through 2010. I'm not saying that money is everything, but I have a feeling that Boozer doesn't have any regrets. But you knew that Utah would live to regret giving huge contracts to both Boozer and Okur. Utah Jazz Salaries What exactly did Okur do to deserve 9 million per year through 2010? At least Boozer is a rebounding force who could score 20+ on any given night.

Peja to the Bulls would be even sweeter. Your average NBA fan would never agree with me, but we'd be better off getting Trenton Hassell (both for what we specifically need right now on defense and for reasons relating to the long term salary situation of the Bulls). I still have my doubts about Paxson after he cut Trenton in favor of Linton Johnson. Linton Muhf***in' Johnson? In 2006/2007, we have a total of 6 million committed to our players: Chicago Bulls Salaries We should keep it that way through the end of this season so that we could lock down Curry, Chandler, etc. Soon enough, we'll have to lock down Hinrich. Just for laughs, check out what the New York Knicks have committed to players in 2006/2007: New York Knicks Salaries 70 million????

Their has to be something else to why Utah would do this. They're trying to shed Boozer's salary. And besides, they'll be looking to acquire some high-priced talent in their backcourt, IMO. Right now, they have a bunch of grinders back there, which obviously ain't enough if they have a championshiop trophy in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 (edited) I think this trade is totally bogus. NOBODY "other than Jack Haley" Is reporting this. This deal would be all over espn/espn news if it was confirmed. And it's a horrible move for the Jazz by the way.

WilliamTell Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 I wouldn't say the Jazz screwed Cleveland, it was Boozer's choice to go to Utah so I wouldn't blame Utah about it. I just don't see this deal happening though. Why would they want Divac or George? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboz56 Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Doubt it's bogus. Utah wants to get rid of Boozer's contract, they can use George once he is healthy and Caron Butler has a bright future in the league. They'll probably release Divac.

It's been talked about for three or four days now on the radio in l.a. It is not bogus. Also, there was supposedly a odom for peja deal on the table but the kings backed out.

They just signed him to that contract this past summer, now they want out? George is a scrub, who hasn't played all year. Divac is DONE. Caron Butler is a nice role player, but c'mon, the guy is not even top 15 at his position. You don't trade a dime a dozen sf for a legitimate pf, especially to a team in your conference. This is a HORRIBLE trade for the Jazz. Go to any Jazz website. They're screaming for their gm's head.
