I'm officially ready for the offsesaon. Can't say anything else after losing the game like that.
This offseason is going to be big for us. Hopefully we get a good draft slot(though I doubt it), and we'll see how the Boozer situation plays out.
Anyway, we fought hard tonight, and it was tough to see it end like that. It was even worse watching at work with a bunch of Laker fans
f**k man I probably woulda fought them all tonight if I was working there. I was so pissed. We've played so well this series for the most part but we just haven't had anything go our way down the stretch. Its a lot better then last year cuz we are being a lot more competitive but we still don't have any answers for them. Especially when f**king Derek Fisher decides to make shots for once. The prick!
I'm really torn about Boozer. I don't want to resign him b/c he isn't gonna lead us to a championship yet if he jets and we don't bring in any big pieces Deron may opt out and leave after next season or maybe he can in 2 years I can't remember.
I really hope we don't get screwed in the lottery either I want to get a top 6 pick and grab Aldrich or Greg Monroe. Both would automatically be better then Doufus and Fes. Then if he somehow falls to us I'd love to bring in Sherron Collins to replace Ronnie.
We really only have 2 seasons left before Deron can opt out. I don't like the idea of taking a step backwards because if we take too big of step back Deron could walk. Personally I think we should resign Boozer, draft a center, then hope we can move AK's expiring contract at some point in the season.
The thing about Booze though is that he's too damn short for us to really compete with the top teams. The same goes for Millsap who's even worse but I don't really want to shell out another 50 to 60 mill to keep Boozer around. I'd rather sacrifice next year and then see whats available then get locked down with Boozer's contract especially since he's so injury prone. I do agree on trading AK though. His contract is just too much to deal with right now and CJ seems to be getting better every year so hopefully next year he can be the consistent shooter and average defender we need him to be.
If we can get a legitimate defensive center ala Eaton, Ostertag it'll make up for some of Boozer's shortcomings. I also love the idea of Okur coming off the bench.
What's available? We're Utah. Nobody is coming here. We got the draft and that's it. So unless we got a top 3 pick this season I like my chances better with Boozer then with Greg Monroe.
