Pros and cons of Boozer

[KobeButler]

Since this trade seems to have legs, lets discuss it as if its a real possibilty.

Pros:
+ Good bball IQ(learned from coach k, phil would love him)
+ Good post moves
+ Decent mid range shot
+ Great finisher( no more brick hands?)
+ Great rebounder
+ Decent scorer
+ Judging by his stats, hes improved every year(pre-injury)

Cons:
- Bad contract
- Bad post defense(Sloan has called him out for poor defense few times)
- Undersized
- No shot block ability (which Mihm was very useful for)

So how does this help the Lakers?
+ More ball movement
+ More reliable low post scorer
+ Possible consistent second option
+ Bynum should get more playing time
+ Boozer can stay on the floor longer than Mihm in terms of foul trouble

So how does this hurt the Lakers?
- Bye Bye any future cap space plan
- Inside defense will take a big hit
- No shot blocker (I realized how important Mihm was last night)
- Bynum forced more playing time
- Kwame forced more playing time
- Lose a good offensive rebounder
- Helps division rival(Warriors...Mihm will help them alot defensively)
