Can Carlos Boozer buck the trend of declining FA bigs?

[Rush]

The 2010 off-season shook up the NBA like few off-seasons ever have before. While most of the attention focused on LeBron James, and to a lesser extent, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, it was the most loaded big man free...

Nope, you're wrong Dougth. Unless there's another injury to Boozer, no one will be arguing about starting Taj over Booze in february.

it'd be cool if boozer saw more time with the second unit and taj received more time with rose as taj's offense depends on rose creating/the attention paid to rose.

Carlos Boozer might just be this year's Elton Brand...

But Elton Brand has no quality help in Philadelphia... and is averaging 18 and 8... I'll take that in a heartbeat from Boozer.

Everyone knew about David Lee thriving in Dantonis system and that Amare would have his struggles without Nash. Bosh is the big surprise. I fully expected his points to go down but his efficiency and rebounding catches me off guard. Then Gain, that offense in Tor revolved around him and he was familiar with his team after so many years. It's going to take time.

Seeing how Taj has thrived so far this season, I have no reason to believe why Boozer can't. I think it's great that Taj is progressing. He'll be great off the bench where we are having some struggles scoring points. I just hope Thibs mixes it up. Give both of our PFs time with the first team and bench.

The more interesting thing is with Taj putting up great numbers and Deng putting up 20 and 5 with Denver having all their bigs injured, how long does it take to get Melo for Deng, Taj and bobcats pick done?

Boozer will be just fine.

Jeez, how bout we let the guy play before we are calling him a bust. I'm sure he'll be just what we expected.

I'm not surprised by Bosh's struggles at all. When all 3 signed it was pretty obvious, to me atleast, that he would struggle being the 3rd wheel. Miami needed a bruiser on the inside who can thrive in the post, something like what we picked up in free agency. Bosh will continue to struggle until they get him some legitimate help & size down low. And Bron & Wade need to share the ball with him cuz right now that's not really happening. But when Riles takes over, and he will, I give it another week or so if things continue to be mediocre, I think Bosh will start coming around.
