Boozer to pick between NJ and Detroit

The Young One · May 31, 2009

Apparently, rising free agent-of-choice Carlos Boozer is telling confidants he's either going to Detroit or New Jersey -- only way the capsized Nets pull that off is by doing a sign-and-trade. Word has it Jersey will have but three assistants next season and all must take pay cuts.

Not really shocked me rip and pugz have been saying all year long he would head to detroit. Im not sure how NJ would make it work.

Not surprised that he is considering NJ. On a Nets forum, he talked to a Net fan and said "I would love to play here", hopefully it isn't a big contract if we get him.

elcheato · May 31, 2009

It will be a big contract considering he is opting out and he wants more money.

Pugz · May 31, 2009

he wants more money and that's it. i would rather see someone come here for the fact we are a team with a rich winning histroy. BUT he'll help, and i just hope we can get a player like TChandler or Kaman(I perfer) to pair with him downlow.

looks like NJ and Detroit might get the next Elton Brand

elcheato · May 31, 2009

A less talented Elton Brand who plays no defense.

MapleLeaf · May 31, 2009

yep

if he goes to Detroit or New Jersey, he's in trouble.

Boozer has only played good whenever he has a great playmaker around him like Deron wIlliams or a young Lebron

Lebron is young, he's only 24

i know but i'm talking about rookie and 2nd year

I think he'll choose NJ over Detroit for some reason, I like Boozer's game though, mostly b/c of his ability to hit that mid range jumper and post you up.

Pugz · May 31, 2009

No Way Utah S&T, they want to keep Memo and Millsap and they can't if they sign and trade..

RipCity32 · May 31, 2009

I don't know why anyone says he sucks without a playmaker?
He has played on 2 teams in his career lol. Not like he chose to play without them. He obviously has the offensive skill set...

Lopez + Boozer, that would kill.

But then again Boozers style of play would fit real good in Detroit, plus he has a better chance of winning.

jarrod2323 · Jun 1, 2009

don't believe anything Boozer says -- remember when he said he'd stay in Cleveland?

he'll go wherever the money is

IDK about that...

Devin and vc and bozo would be a sick trio. NJ would likely have a chance of advancing in the playoffs with booz.

elcheato · Jun 1, 2009

They might have a chance at 40 wins, maybe.

We can easily win 40 without Boozer next year.

I don't think this was posted.

Carlos Boozer is telling confidants he's either going to Detroit or New Jersey, according to a report from Peter Vecsey of the New York Post.

While the Pistons have cap space, the Nets would need to acquire Boozer via a sign and trade deal.

I would love for his ass to come here, as long as his injuries settle down.

I figured this had been posted, I heard about it around a week ago.

The Nets absolutely need a guy like this who goes down low, moves bodies and grabs rebounds, I would love it if we could pull off a sign and trade giving Utah Yi and other expirings,
