man boozer is a stud and we really messed up not getting him. he would ba a solid sontributor for years on this team. if we would have gotten him and bynum develops we would only be missing a pg and we would have the team of the future already in place. bug mistake by the lakers. i am talking 6th seed and maybe 2nd round this year with better things to come next year. huge mistake in my opinion

so...do you think it was a mistake not getting him?

I was watching this game thinking how good he looks.

However I don't think it was the Lakers that didn't want Booz. More like teams didn't want our offers.

He'll be available again in the summer.

he keeps playing like that, we won't have a shot at him...either his price goes up or they decide to keep him...

His shot was already up. We offered Mihm/Cook/picks - Jazz said no. I'm sure we'll revisit it again in the summer, but he's playing himself right out of our ability to pay.

Passing on Boozer who is just coming off a major injury with no game time in about year coupled with his bloated contract was alright imo.

NOT offering Sasha or Slava for Flip or Anderson is going to be the death blow for this season. Considering 2 years ago we had very capable guards like GP, Fish , Rush it is no wonder why it seems Kobe has to do everything himself on the wing or in the backcourt these days.

Bring on Kiki!!!!!!

really? they turned down cook, mihm and picks? then i guess turiaf better start developing faster then...guess that almost rules us out...can't imagine the jazz would want to dump boozer for cap relief at the rate he is playing...still remember when they first got him with okur...the jazz, if i remember, were playing pretty good ball until ak-47 went down...

His stock is slowly rising again. Told ya we should of got him when his stock was really low.

its a shame something couldnt have been done, hopefully he doesnt increase his value a whole lot.

Didn't want him then, and dont want him now.

Sadly, Utah was looking for a SG. I suspect the deal would have gone down had we re-signed (and offered) K. Rush.

booze when healthy is rodman with offense-defense. Like ziggy said, its done with....but sadly its an indication of just how we always seem to be missing something. be it heart from most of the team or brains from the front office :\

Boozer has had more injuries in the past year, than games played...... that makes him far from a stud. Let's wait to see if he can finish out the rest of this season and not get hurt, while playing at a high level before we start talking about what we missed out on.

Imo not getting Boozer considering his health issues that lasted a whole year of him missing games and having a bloated contract, if far from a bad move on our part.

If you look at one year ago till now Boozer has played 7 games, and for those 7 games got paid $11,593,816.

That comes out to
$1,656,259.43 per game
$78,336.59 per minute
$94,258.67 per stat (pts, asts, Rds, blks, & stls added together.)

I take it back look at him making money..... he is a stud.

he's a player we've obviously been actively pursuing for a long time.

however you have to question whether or not he is gonna really give us quality, championship play. we saw what he did to the cavs, and we saw what he did to the jazz. is it gonna be a matter of time before he decides he doesn't want to play here anymore and then suddenly get injured?

I don't doubt Boozer is capable of consistently putting up those numbers but so far that has been his only good game since coming off of injury. But yeah that proposed trade of Mihm and George for Boozer sounds pretty good.
