Bosh may be a slightly better player, but Boozer was the second best post player available in my opinion.

It's a piece, but only matters if we get Lebron. No Lebron = 2nd round exit at best

Who the hell is at Shooting Guard at this moment?

Duhh... Derrick Byars

Lol. Well played. Any relation to Keith?

Good move considering the options available with Bosh off the market, need a shooter now.

So why would Boozer take less than the max to play for the Bulls unless there was some chance remaining to get James

Put the pipe down...

or pass it on over to me.

$70 million for Dung $80 mil for Loozer can anyone tell me that's not the worst spent 150 million spent? I know Farve Fan and and Bagels love the move. Bye Paxson PS what keeps Rose around when his contract is up????

something i was thinking about...listening to B&B on the way home and Bernsie pondering if they can add a shooter between now and tomorrow's Lebron show to pretty much say- "we have everything if you want to win come here" and still maintain the max slot. Goff was suggesting some kind of handshake deal for the MLE.....isn't that how the Timberwolves got into trouble with Joe Smith?

also, the other thing on my mind is that Boozer took slightly less than the max, no? wouldn't *some* other team like the Nets, Clippers, etc. - spurned by all the other free agents- offer him a max deal? So why would Boozer take less than the max to play for the Bulls unless there was some chance remaining to get James

If and when the Bulls do not sign LeBron they will be stuck with an overpaid 29 year old powerforward who will probably once again miss significant time with an injury. They should have targeted David Lee and saved some money. Now lets get JJ Reddick for the soft players from Duke trifecta.

I like Boozer over Amare, probably the best the Bulls could have done if they couldn't land Bosh. Good move for them and still have a max contract left.

What will keep Rose around is the same thing keeping Wade, LeBron, Pierce, Dirk, etc. around. Money. The majority of free agents are staying with their teams because of -wait for it- MONEY

As for the 150...you need to look at the NBA landscape. If you're expecting them to salaries equal to what the players are worth, you're obviously an NBA moron. Which we know already but this just makes it more clear. Maybe Boozer is worth 10, 11 million but he's getting 15. That's the going rate right now. I guess you would have preferred for them to not sign Boozer and just sit on a pile of cash. Maybe you'd prefer Jerry Reinsdorf to have one extra lobster with his dinner tonight. You're a grade A moron.
