Would Utah go for this deal, I think it would make us a lot more dangerous and well balanced and give us a solid 4 and a good vetran presence, you can win with this Chicago tandem and it would allow the jaz to play AK47 at the four where he is most comfortable

Yes but not for that trade it's ridiculous. Fisher is a gunning high paid combo gaurd that's older and has IMO, a worse contract than Jamal givin the talent. Besides Utah would never want Curry under any circumstances.

One of the worst trade scenarios I've seen on this (hater) site. Surprised you didn't throw in Lee & Frye.

Wanna give your opinion on with this is a bad trade idea instead of just flaming?

Also, if you don't like this site than don't read it.

you get rid of an extra year with both of the two players when they are being paid over market, because you look at the situation doesn't mean your a hater.

God i can't stand Isiah supporters this team ****ing has no direction, Curry is not a valuable piece he can't defend, rebound, and is turnover prone and overweight and didn't improve at all in the most pivotal point in his career.

I would move these guys for anything you threw at me, if you think there is a better deal out there for two players like them lay it on me

Gotta give Eddy more time.

Isiah sold the store for the kid and he warrants more work.

IM not ready to move on from eddy yet.

Eddy is the franchise.

The trade is bad, cuz you don't just pop a 6'8" PF in and assume that he's gonna have the same effect on your team that a 6'11" 285lb C does. Curry warps the opposing teams defense. They HAVE to pay extra attention to him. He makes the floor more open for other guys on our team. Boozer wouldn't do any of that. It's not just the stats, but how a player effects the way you play and how teams have to play you. Even when Curry has an off night his mere presence still causes teams to have to pay attention to him, cuz he's too big and capable inside. It's Shaq and then Curry in terms of FG% and teams always have to be aware of his presence.

I understand what you are saying. However, my thinking is that if Utah was willing to give up Boozer (who is still fairly young) why hang on to Curry. Boozer is worthy of a high-first round pick so if you give Curry to get Boozer you are not losing that much face. Plus, Frye can move to center where I think he will be more effective and Boozer can start at the PF spot. Marbury, Francis, JJ1, Boozer, and Frye to me is a solid and more complete starting lineup offensively and defensively. Boozer is not a great defense but he at least plays defense, which is something I still question whether Curry knows how to do.

NYK4EVER - You want a "why" behind my assertion of that being a bad deal. Here goes:

You want to trade a 6'11" 285 lb 23 year old Center for a 6'8" (good for the most part, but somewhat plodding, injury prone guy who hasn't developed the best reputation lately with either team he's played for) when we have Lee & Frye playing the 4 already? Then you want to take on another one dimensional gun like Fisher - who isn't even that good at being a gunner. And trade Crawford, who I believe is our best all around guard...but he's certainly a lot better than Fisher.

That's just horrendous.

At the moment, I wouldn't do anything major. I just want to make this team go out & make us all forget about the Larry Brown experience.

But the Frye, Crawford for Boozer, Brewer deal has a little more sense to it.

If you trade Curry for Boozer, you end up with the Layden roster (37 - 6'8" power forwards on the squad).
