There is no question about it, Carlos Boozer is straight up terrible. We need Scal to break his legs.
3. Dupe someone into trading for Boozer
The Bulls are in a tough position when it comes to Boozer. On one hand, they need offense. On the other, Boozer is so porous defensively that they can't depend on him down the stretch.
The numbers are staggering. The Bulls were better off this season with Boozer on the bench, according to plus-minus data from basketballvalue.com (minus-1.8 net rating). The Utah Jazz were better off in 2009-10 with Boozer on the bench (minus-2.0 net rating). Same thing in 2008-09: The Jazz were better off with Boozer riding pine (minus-6.6 net rating). That's three years running in which Boozer's defensive liabilities outsized his offensive exploits.
So what do they do? Well, they could use him to net a legitimate shooting guard, but this is the second postseason in a row in which he's floundered underneath the bright lights of the playoffs. He can't hide anymore. The Bulls may be better off lighting $60 million on fire than playing him 30 minutes a night into his 30s.
Judging from his 'jumping' abilities, I feel like his legs must already be broken. Dude must have a 7 inch vertical right now. Random dude at bar defended him, and I told him I'd buy him a shot if you could clearly see Boozer's feet more than a foot off the ground. Even that fast break dunk he had, he barely got any air.
Alas. It's high time for me to start really watching baseball now; it's been all basketball since the holidays for me.

That's been the black lining in this silver cloud - it definitely has cut into my baseball watching some.
but I have to watch tonight and hope. Come too far to give up now.
