Boozer reality check

As a Jazz fan the part that hurts the most about losing Boozer is the fact that in the process of keeping him for the full season last year we lost 2 young guns in Maynor and Brewer. Both were traded away for next to nothing due to money issues and now we lose carlos to free agency and get nothing in return.

Our roster for next season i think will struggle. Whilst Millsap can step into Boozers shoes, the other bigs on the bench are not going to be up to standard. I dont really rate any either Fesenko or Koufos as first of the bench players and Ronnie Price cant back up Williams consistently, as shown in the playoffs where he wasnt really a factor.

Wes Matthews was a shining light for us last year and really stepped up in the playoffs! He has just been signed to an offer sheet by Portland. Surely the Jazz would have to match the offer. Cant lose 2 starters for nothing and expect to be competitive.

On a brighter note, I was very impressed with the pick of Gordan Hayward and im delighted they didnt fall into the trap of picking ANOTHER big white guy in Aldrich! Hayward looks very mature for his age and whilst he isnt putting up amazing numbers in summer league, looks like he could slot in nicely in place of Kyle Korver in the rotations. Very disciplined and another good fit for Sloans game style!

Yesss finally another loser Utah supporter! I dont seem to find many others like me :|

Think, everyone knew Boozer wanted to leave, therefore no one really wanted him there. They would prefer others who wanted to be there and wanted to play for the team.
Now that Booz is gone, we have Millsap at the PF and Koufos and Fesenko who are developing at the C. Add in Mehmet Okur back at the PF position and we arnt looking too bad!

IMO, Boozer going to Chicago was beneficial for both the Bulls and the Jazz.

The Bulls got a double-double machine to complement Noah; Bulls get another scorer to complement Deng and Rose.

The Jazz get cap relief and the departure of Boozer allows the development of Millsap at the PF position. Millsap averaged 18 and 8 during the last playoffs, so there is no question he can be a double double threat night in night out next season.
