Perfect, no way he hurts us there.
Lol! Wait, what?! Not sure if serious.
That's about what I expect from you. Would you rather he go to a rival and help them while we pay for his contract?
So they wouldnt take him in a S&T but then put in a bid for him? dicks
Exactly what I was thinking. I guess they only wanted to take one dog shit contract on (Lin's) of which they got 2 picks in return. We probably weren't offering a sweetner to take Booze off our hands.
Either way, good luck to him in LA because he's going to need it going up against Aldridge, Cousins, Love (assuming no trade happens), Randolph, Dirk, and others in the West.[/QUOTE
Boozer THRIVED in the West, remember? Just because he didn't fit with Thibs doesn't mean he can't play. Just ask Gasol about D'Antoni.

He "THRIVED" in the West when he was in his 20's playing with arguably the best PG in the game at the time, D Will, and under the incredible Jerry Sloan. Boozer just spent 4 seasons under one of the top 3 coaches in the NBA today in Thibs, playing against virtually no big men in the East and he did not tear anything up. He had some really great games and then games where he'd disappear. His most consistent year, oddly, was the lockout season. Boozer's best years are waaaaaay behind him now. He's slower, less athletic, and more comfortable playing in the mid range.
Not to mention, LA doesn't even have a coach yet. Booze may increase his scoring a bit, but that'll be a product of him being the 3rd best player on the team right now.

Their bid was 3+ mil so the bulls owe the difference which was 13 + mil..So, the Bulls pay the difference in his salary and what was owed? Any word yet on the $? Would love it if LA overpaid him for no reason.
Bulls will have to pay 13.55M of his salary. Saw it on twitter somewhereSo, the Bulls pay the difference in his salary and what was owed? Any word yet on the $? Would love it if LA overpaid him for no reason.
Hmmm, the Lakers have quietly put together an interesting offseason.
**Drafted Julius Randle and Jordan Clarkson (a guy I think can be an absolute steal in the second round),
**Snagged Boozer off the amnesty scrap heap
**Took on Jeremy Lin's expiring deal and also snagged a future first and a future second rounder from Houston while giving up dick in return
**Landed Ed Davis for practically nothing (two years, $2 million total)
**Extended Nick Young on a very reasonable deal (four years, $21.5 million)
**Slightly overpaid Jordan Hill (two years, $18.5 million)
With last year's Kobe extension, the Lakers have created an interesting two-year window. Julius Randle and Nick Young are the only two guys who have guaranteed deals after the 2015-16 season, meaning the Lakers will once again have a clean slate heading into free agency, plus a cache of picks. I'm interested to see who the tab as their coach. If Kobe proves to be healthy (about as big of an if as Rose being healthy), this team could be a pain in the ass to deal with every night. Certainly not a title contender, but a team who could sneak into the playoffs and be a challenge to deal with in the first round.
