    There are jokers everywhere. In my memory Boozer was sitting quite often in the fourth quarter because Thibodeau didn't like his defense.
    I don't think Boozer is a great defender, but I think he's adequate.. it's coaches that vote for the all-defensive teams. Perhaps it was a joke, but a lot of people take that seriously. It's possible it was Thibs that voted but I'd be surprised if coaches are allowed to vote for players on their own team.

      Hes a good team defender, and thats what Chicago is all about especially with Noah down low beside him. The important part about Boozer is his playstyle he grabs those boards good at getting into position and is quite a bully, getting defensive boards is also a part of good defense so I think his positives outweigh his negatives.

      Say we land Boozer this changes the offensive options and it will be interesting to see how he plays alongside JV.

        Yup.. he's a good teammate.. everyone seems to rave about him. He may not be good with help defense, but he can tire the offensive player out by using his butt to ward off rebounds. He's also been coached by a lot of excellent coaches in his career: Coach K in Duke, Sloan and now Thibs.. he'd be a great vet to have on the team..

        However saying all that, I'd rather have Gasol or Okafor since their contracts run shorter.

          If Boozer's contract wasnt awful Chicago wouldnt be moving him, and is Taj Gibson hurt all season? Thib love him beside Noah and he will likely be given the starting reigns at the 4. Another reason to move Boozer I guess. Call me crazy but Bargnani coming off their bench may actually be something they really want.....Bulls play amazing enough Defense to handle Bargs's chucking.

            They did okay with Belinelli who is an awful defender. I think Bargnani will actually do really well in Chicago. And if he doesn't we can all laugh as he would no longer be our problem

              Amir is greatly appreciated on this team.

              He can play 30 minutes coming off the bench just like he can starting.

              As was mentioned, the Raps bench sucks. He is a great benefit coming off it because he can play both PF and C plus he is a total class act, team player who plays balls out. Those guys are in short supply in starting lineups and pretty much non-existent coming off the bench.
              I think our bench needs a scorer more than an Amir johnson type player. And our starting rotation needs an Amir Johnson type player more than a scorer. Amir starts, Fields starts, and DeRozan and backup PF with scoring capability off the bench.

                Set it guys, the starting 5 is JV, Amir, Gay, DeMar and Lowry. Except if we get another true starting caliber player I don't see why would it change.

                  Raptors need a 3pt shooter. A specialist.

                  1. Kyle Korver
                  2. JJ Redick
                  3. Mike Dunleavy

                  In that order.

                    i like redick more. i like the idea of scola the most. i think that a big that can play 4/5 and is a capable player is our biggest need and then a back up pg.

                    would love to buy a pick for kabongo

                    not seeing any ufa pg. that we could get. something nice for maynor would be nice. i think our off season is about getting rid of bargs and internal development

                      Agreed. Besides a shooter this team needs a VETERAN big that can play the 4/5. Brand and Scola first comes to mind.

                        Good luck getting Scola. Apart from Dragic, he's just about the only hope they have down there in Phoenix.
