Nice game by the Knicks last night. They played with energy. That however, didn’t stop me from writing a Good vs, Evil take about the game – and comparing a cardboard cutout to Isaiah. Funny to read a post that sounded great at the time…but after time has passed isn’t quite as good! Fallen Star-bury actually played well last night. He played no defense, but on offense when he was creating the Knicks were tough. (Nice Site here Knicerblogger!)

Yeah, I think Kirilenko is actually in the same exact situation. The Jazz would be willing to move him, but it would have to be for a great offer, and no one is going to offer them anything good for Kirilenko at this point in time.

But yeah, “pennies on the dollar” is an exaggeration, because that’s specifically NOT what the Jazz were asking for – they wanted a GOOD deal for Boozer, because they were unsure of him. They felt he was worth the risk, and if another team agreed, they would have to pay for it.

sure, I think that’s true also, but “pennies on the dollar” is probably an exaggeration. they were also very frustrated with Kirilenko for a while, but he’s still there also.

I believe that Boozer probably WAS available – just not for what anyone would pay for him at that point in time. I think the Jazz thought he would recover, but if someone wanted to bowl them over with an offer before then, they’d take it.

As opposed to now, where he’s basically untouchable (along with Williams).

just because someone is rumored to be available doesn’t mean that they actually are.

Remember that Boozer was available for pennies on the dollar a few years ago when he was perpetually injured and people were saying that the Jazz got what they had coming for the way that Boozer screwed the Cavs.

lying to a blind man might only get him in the middle of the pack with this club when it comes to ranking bad character! ;^)

“Would love Boozer as a Knick, great attitude and works hard every night.”

plus he lied to a blind man to get out of his last contract. NEVER FORGET!!!!

Nate had a real nice drive to the hoop, down the left lane, left-handed shot, hit the free throw. Also hit a bank shot.

Would love Boozer as a Knick, great attitude and works hard every night.

They definitely have Balkman jerseys, Jon.

I loves me some Balkman, too.
