Odom is a SF/PF

K-Mart/ Booz are PFs.

Hmm... tough call for me. I think Booz over K-Mart due to K-mart's recurring Knee injuries, which are only going to deteriorate. Booz's are muscle related, which can and should heal well.

Odom though seems to click with Brown and even though he'd be at the SF spot more, he's exactly the SF we should be trying to get. I'd trade D-Lee and Jalen for Odom...

I'd have to say Odom.

normally it would easily be KMart but for the question about his knees... Boozer's a good banger down low on offense but his defense isn't anything to write home about... Odom's got a pretty nice overall game, but i don't know if he's got the right makeup to be successful playing in a high pressure market like NY... it's not as if he's lighting it up in LA right now.

i'd still take a shot on KMart... i think he's still got alot left in him, & we need a guy w/his passion & aggressive approach to the game for the other young kids to learn from.

I wonder if all those who question Boozer's D are watching or reading hoopshype.

in Cleveland he was a goood defender. his Utah stay so far has been an injury riddles one. He's healthy now.

no, actually i formed my opinion from watching him play against the Knicks... i know it's hard for some of you to fathom that some of us can actually form an opinion based on things we observe & not only from things we read in the papers, but it's true.

Whats with you ****ing Idiots and Odom, the guy is averaging 14, 9 and 5 and playing in a huge market with the biggest me first player in the NBA, Kobe has the Ball all the time we aren't looking for a star just role players to plug into the offense, thats how you build winners, rebounding and sharing the basketball Odom does both.....

sorry, i don't remember him ever DOMINATING on the defensive end when he played the Knicks... i guess we were watching different games... you're entitled to think he's a defensive juggernaut if you like... i don't agree.

Oh dumb is not my favorite, but a Marbury for Oh-Dumb would be fine by me.

Marbury-Qdog (resigned) for Oh-dumb and filler to make it happen.

With Oh-Dumb, QDog becomes expendable.

Boozer is way better than both of those guys. He's a dominating rebounder[top 3 in the league when healthy] and scores 20 points at will. He doesnt block shots but he isnt exactly a chump on the D at 6-9 260

more over the top description of a player you like... the guy's never averaged more than 18 pts. in a single season, yet you rave abot him as if he were a quintessential 20/10 guy after a short stretch of some good games & put down players like Al Harrington, who's shown a steady progression & improvement every year he's been in the league & is right on the cusp of being a legit 20ppg player... i simply don't understand the logic that guides your estimations of some of these players... you seem to randomly get on the jock of 1 guy & on the case of another.

Uh... I love Odom. Think he'd fit in here perfectly.

I am just waitng for Briggs to tell us How Boozer is Clearly better than any player we have...

I agree, Briggs is over the top again, Boozer is good, he is in shape now, but he can stay in utah, I am tired of these trades, I want to see frye, jackie and lee develop, is there anything wrong with that?
