Boozer for Beasly..I'd make that trade any day of the week

What did Beasley do this year? On a team that wasn't that good, he didn't get much playing time. Plus to take Beasley, we would have to take a lot of garbage with him.

Beasley played over 8 minutes less a game than Boozer, and averaged only 2.3 points a game less. This in his rookie year, I would take Beasley over boozer any day as well. Maybe he will play more than 30 games a year to...

Beasley seems extremely talented offensively, but does not do much else and is undersized for a four. I bet he'd drive Sloan nuts.

With that said, Miami is desparate to keep Dwyane Wade, and getting Boozer might help a lot. They might be willing to give up Beasley for that.

With Beasley's weaknesses, he was the #2 pick for a reason. Go for it and see what happens. If it does not work, he's not making a ton and is tradeable. And Blount may not be great, but I think he is 7 feet. Jazz need that.

If possible, do it!!

P.S. Krueger is open!!

Give it up, Ute fan. Your Mickey Mouse program got lucky in 2008. Face it- BYU is still your big brother, still the only nationally recognized program in the state, and Utah will always be our little brother. Utah can't fill up it's stadium unless BYU comes to town. Typical Utes- they hate BYU more than they actually like Utah.

We don't need Beasley. We already have an under sized PF named Millsap.

Edmond, speaking of luck when is BYU going to beat a ranked team? 1-14 doesn't buy national respect nor does

7-5 UofA 31
10-2 BYU 21

play beasley at sf if we can make a trade!

Although I still would much rather see us acquire either Tayshaun Prince or Rip Hamilton, a trade for Beasley and another big body wouldn't be bad at all. Yes Beasley would be an undersized PF, but his future is as a SF, which the Heat has had him working towards becoming this summer. The good thing is if his attitude/lackadaisical nature trump his tremendous natural ability, he's dynamite trade bait the following year. The big, bottom-line is taking our time, as much as needed (even close to February) to ensure we make a good trade and get something beneficial in exchange for Boozer.

Re: M Edmonds

Hmm ... typical bYu fan posting messages in the wrong place. This blog is supposed to be about Boozer and the Rockets ... not about bYu and UTAH.

If I were you I would go back to bYu and demand a refund of my tuition.

To the Clippers for a Coke and a Cheerleader!

Let me get this straight. You have a kid 21 or so that is a bigger body, averaged only 2.3 ppg less than Snooze, and we have to worry if he fits in with Jerry and the "sloanaholics"

The Jazz thought Haslem was "garbage" a man who plays defense and averages 11 ppg 8 boards a game.

This team will score enough points. It is about defense. Then again, You could have likely shipped Boyzer and or AK to "Nellie" for either Magette or a small forward beast who could be a star for 10 years-Randolph...

If the Jazz cannot acquire Beasley from Miami, I would take a sack of flour to get rid of Doozie, and Haslem and take Blount already

I've had enough of this, I think we just have to accept the fact that Boozer will remain in Utah for one more year whether we like it or not, as much as I hate it to accept that we will still see Boozer play for Utah, it looks very hopeless to trade him the way things are going right now, no team wants Boozer! that's it!.. we just have to suffer with Boozer for one more year

IMO - There is no way Riley will trade Beasley to the Jazz. The Jazz is the one trying to shed salary. They have already showed their needs. Riley will only trade if it benefits Miami. Trading Beasley already doesn't benefit the team.

Take Beasley in a heart beat at least he would be tradeable.

Could this be another rumor started by Boozer ?
I don't think any team wants him , but these trade rumors are mead up via text messages sent out by careless Boozer.

Here is the deal, Boozer does not hurt us, only financially. He has no choice even if he breaks a leg he has to play his butt off this year. I would not be surprised to see his numbers go up and if he has to do that at Utah all the better for us.

Without him we are going to be short on scoring with AK missing 71% of his shots, and Ronnie's patented never need to be guarded outside the key. Boozer is still a stud on offense.

Without Boozer our solid core is far from solid. Too bad about not getting Battier that is a true crime.

The Rockets are stupid as they need an offensive weapon and Boozer meets the bill for a year then they can get Yao back. By that time Cleveland will have traded a bench warmer for TMac as well.

Boozer's numbers go up the teams numbers go down. Boozer is all about Boozer.

If getting Boozer will enable the Heat to sign Wade to an extention, then they might have to include Beasly to Utah. ( along with other cap fillers). If not, then Miami should not make the deal. Beasly has a great upside.

What is this enchantment you have with Udonis Haslem? He's just another undersized PF who is a good role player and definitely stretched as a starter. We already have 5 guys who can play PF, all of whom I'd rather see playing over Haslem because they all have more upside.

If we're going to trade Boozer, we should be targeting one of our key weaknesses: size/defense at the 4 and 5 and consistent outside shooting at the 2 and 3. Haslem plays D, but, again, he's 6'8" at best. We'd be a lot better off developing Koufos or Fesenko with those minutes.

We'd be better off getting nothing but cap space for Boozer than picking up Haslem.

Carlos Snoozer sleeps through trade details at eleven!
