Injury prone yes, a poor defender definately not. He's a proper rugged PF and he knows how to defend the post. Not much of a shot-blocker but defense and rebounding is his forte.
Some men see things as they are and ask why. I dream things that never were and ask why not?

Anything you can get for Penny is good. Boozer if healthy is the best PF on the Knicks. Harpring is a smart player but really would not have a spot on this team.

Yeah... a healthy Boozer would be awesome. He's a fundamentally sound bruiser. He's not exceptionally quick, but he big and strong enough to have an impact on both ends of the floor.
However, he hasn't been healthy in over a year-- and who knows if he'll recover his limited explosiveness. Who knows... maybe the damaged goods version of him would merely be a slightly bigger version of Mo Taylor, which in my book wouldn't be good enough.

He's definitely NOT what we need. He's soft, frequently injured, a poor defender
Glad you've seen the light. :)
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.
