[Caleb Cattivera]

Carlos Boozer

Warriors get:

Devean George
Chris Mihm

Jazz get:

Troy Murphy
Derek Fisher

[Drew Beringer]

That's a terrible trade for Golden State player wise, but I dunno how it would work out salary wise. lol

i love sloan and the jazz a lot, and that trade would fill some important spots on that roster. i like this trade for them. i never liked Boozer though, but he could do well in LA. Warriors i don't think are going to get any better with mihm or george. i mean that trade's okay, but it seems like they're breaking even at best.

To my knowledge that was a rumor on ESPN that was quashed. Not to mention the fact that that may be the worst trade ever from the Warriors part. There is absolutely no benefit to that whatsoever for the Warriors. It's not like they are even expiring contracts, besides George, but he's worth nothing. Even Isiah wouldn't take that trade if he was the GM of the Warriors.

[last light]

oh man if this happens my gf will be heart broken...she loves mihm (for god knows why) haha eh, hes actually had some solid moments...i dont know about Boozer...

Nah, Isiah would do this trade in a heartbeat.

I know...I was in denial then. The only trade he wouldn't do would be the one that makes sense for his team.

[somethingyellow]

what?? why do the warriors want to do this

[Doug]

nba trades are not about production, they are about money.

yup

to my knowledge that was what my connections told me this morning, my connections>ESPN. hahaha.

but seriously, it's a stupid trade for the warriors yes...but once again, trades are about money.

[somethingyellow]

i will be pissed if this goes through

[Spicoli hey bud]

apparently phil jackson is very satisfied with George as of late and would prefer to keep him.

Guess Isiah missed that memo.

probably but its not like he gets production out of his trades either.

[Drew Beringer]

probably but its not like he gets production out of his trades either.

Haha, I know. What I meant is that Isiah does trades thinking he'll get production(Marbury, Rose, Crawford, Davis, Thomas, and now Francis were all the better player in the trades), not money. Too bad he doesn't get the production either.

[mikeford]

he basically doesn't understand how the NBA system works anymore.

According to the Trade Evaluator on ESPN, the trade doesn't even work money wise. Plus I don't understand the point for GS, because it really doesn't give them very much cap relief. I guess it gets them out from under Derek Fisher's bad contract, but at the same time, Troy Murphy and Fisher himself are not the problem for that team. I don't know, maybe it's to get Diogu more minutes. Strange trade, money wise and just all around for GS.

it's the curse of chris mullin. the worst thing to ever happen to the warriors franchise.

The problem is he gets production at the guard position. Francis, Rose, Marbury and Crawford are all the best players there, and they all play the one or the two, and calling them ones is ridiculous. What do you need four fake ones for on a team? They could go Villanova and start all four, that would be hilarious. But it just does not work for their Coach, it makes no sense at all. They have no rhyme or reason to their team, although i read today that they are planning on attempting to package a lot of their people together in the Summer for KG. Good luck with that Isiah.

no offense but yer connections also told you about a trade (that ridiculous one involving KG, AI and Paul Pierce) that got me banned from celticsblog.net for posting in a rumours section because it was such a load.

Honestly, they should have just traded Diogu and Pietrus for Artest. It would have been best case for them really. Starting lineup of Davis, Richardson, Artest, Murphy and Foyle would honestly get them in, with a bench featuring Fisher and Dunleavy. Why the hell not? That gets them the 8 seed and a possible future. By the time Diogu and Pietrus really develop it will be inconsequential. Plus, those are plus positions for them anyways, why keep them? The funny thing is, people talk about them dominating that trade with Baron, but realistically, they could have kept the combo of Claxton/Fisher and the cap relief of Davis may have been more valuable for them. Without Davis, they'd be having more efficient point guard play that doesn't dribble out the clock for them, makes more than 39% of their shots and arguably would be a better team overall. Baron is a great individual performer, but he's been a nuclear bomb on that team this year.

[weezer182]

fuck this. i dont want this trade to happen

[weezer182]

i dont know why golden st would want to make a trade with la or utah anyways since they are all pretty much fighting for the last couple playoff spots

[Emopunkthrice]

well it never happened

[Caleb Cattivera]

i spoke with pete tonight about this trade. the lakers were the ones who eventually backed out, concerned with boozers health.
