I meant soft as in not playing hurt. Remember the Jazz owner calling him out essentially saying that getting on the court wasn't a priority. Its a tough one to call. There's a lot of potential for a blow up there. I guess it depends on the deal to get him here. Also he plays the same position as 2-3 of our better prospects in Frye, Lee and Butler. Maybe Butler plays some 5 and Lee some 3 but aren't we looking to slate Frye the starter in a year or 2 at worst?

I'm just weary of a guy that hasnt been the same player for 2 years since he got paid. I have no idea what kind of guy he is but its eerily similar to Dampier.

I see Boozer as a complement to Frye. That way Boozer can play closer to the basket and Frye can shoot from the outside. I think Lee and Butler can combine with them to become a pretty nice front court.

But like you said, it depends on the deal. Boozer produces, but he has his baggage. If we can trade for Curry/Francis, I would do it, mainly because I want Curry out of my sight.

I really don't know what to make of Boozer's staying out because of injury. Maybe I would feel differently if I were paying him a king's ransom, but the goal should be to keep a player healthy for the long term. I prefer to err on the side of caution, especially with hamstrings. They lag on for quite a while and they reoccur easily if you come back early. Remember KJ? Hamstrings did him in.

I think Boozer is a good risk.

I dont know whats wrong with Curry. Mostly I think he loafs because he doesnt love to play basketball. Likes it maybe, or thinks he does, but its more something he's in because it's been an easy path for him to follow and he gets paid well. He's young though, and I dont know whats going on between his ears. Maybe its a confidence thing. Guys his age have matured late for sure, and turned a corner.
