Carlos Boozer's Max Deal Riding the Pine in Crunch Time

[FirstTimer]

Again tonight.

Dude is aging horribly. Can't jump. Slower than shit. Etc.

[RainboUnicorn]

Can you amnesty a player during the season? Just curious.

[NAHSTE]

Can he shoot 20 footers that he has no business taking early in the shot clock? If so, the Hawks would love to have him in our front court.

[TheImmortalGoud]

He'll be cut next year.

[FirstTimer]

I hope so.

The entire 4th quarter the Bulls had Boozer(Max deal) and Noah($60 million) riding the pine.

What a shit load of bad paper. Noah and Boozer aren't even playing 30mpg

Boozer's deal is 5/75. So about 4/55 left on it.

I definitely want to see Boozer amnestied. The only question is, will teams bid high on him?

DREW GOODEN FIRE SALE DING DING DING DING

15 footers? 20 footers? 25 footers? It makes no difference to Drew, he'll take them all!

He has the ability to murder opposing centers as well!

"If a 5 man is guarding me, I'm going to murder him. I feel like I can guard a 5 better than a 5 can guard me."

There is a deadline for using the amnesty clause and it has passed for this season.

Boozer still gets his money regardless, no matter how much he continues to suck. Guaranteed contracts are stupid, for a league that was claiming to lose money, they should have done something about guaranteed contracts.

The entire NBA is a joke labor wise.

:learnvsn:There's always next year

Booz just seems like the type to be happy to be getting his money...he could give a shit about if he playing towards the end of games.

The problem is that Boozer was never a great player from the beginning and the Bulls shouldn't have given him the deal they gave him. However, much like a kid with $1 they felt the need to spend some money. When LeBron, Wade and Bosh fell through they just threw the money at Boozer. Boozer is just aging and isn't the consistent stat compiler he use to be.

The Bulls aren't that good at deciphering talent to bring in FA's and they got lucky with Derrick Rose.....even more lucky he's a Chicago kid who seems to be loyal.

Wow, stat of the night:

As @ESPNChiBulls just noted to me, Boozer is a -40 in 21 minutes tonight. Repeat: MINUS FORTY.
