I could also see Tyson Chandler doing that. He's the type of player that's good enough to play 30 minutes, yet also not score very much.
On a side note, I never understood the argument some Jazz fans had, that Chris Paul got more assists because he played with Chandler and could throw lobs. Chandler averaged 8 ppg. Boozer averaged 20+. So what if Boozer wasn't the type of player to finish lobs?
He took more shots, and generated more assist opportunities from other players, that way.
There was too much anti-Boozer stuff at the time, combined with trying to defend Deron's place in the league.
There were things I liked about Deron, but he wasn't perfect. On the other hand, neither is Chris Paul. He controls the game too much at times.
Stockton, Nash, Kidd, could control the game, but also keep the defense moving, and keep the ball moving.
I’d like Harden and Simmons to have to stick it out where they are. You pick a star studded team and don’t like it? You quit on your team and get traded to a contender? Please fall though. If it goes through, I’m no longer buying any 76ers gear, ever!
