In the regular season, he's fine. He's currently at about 16 ppg, 8 rebounds (playing with Noah), 53% shooting (compared to Amar'e's 40%) all in just 30 minutes. His defense is bad, but better than Stat's. His contract is also much more reasonable than Stat's. He's also a good passer who can shoot free throws.

Boozer is a good player, but somehow he never has an impact when it matters. He is a solid passer for a big, can hit the long 2, score in the post a bit, and all.
But when have you ever walked away from a game and said "fucking boozer, he killed us tonight."
Watched the Lakers torch his ass every fucking year. Lamar would be a 25/13 career player if he always went against Boozer.

Korver has been pretty good on defense lately. His time with Thibs has done him wonders.
LeBron rules.

I hate the DEN score display.
I don't know what prompted them to switch, but it makes me uncomfortable.

No one is arguing that he's better than Pau. I just think Laker fans are overrating what they can get for him at this stage of his career, considering his contract.

Korver is not the most skilled defender there is but he usually holds his own in that he's not a complete liability there.
He plays hard on defense and moves decently there but if the other team is on the break, people should take notes from the Master of the Intentional Hug/Foul.

but Boozer's contract is worse and he's a worse player...
Makes no sense. Lakers want to get better without adding long term salary...
How? What team with a great PG would be willing to trade for Pau?

No one said that.

My underlying question was do you take the downgrade at PF from Pau to Boozer to gain any combination of solid PG/three point shooting/depth/etc.?
Laker fans seem to think not, more important to keep the superstar. Try to get Sessions for picks or sign Arenas. Or both.

I don't know. Which is why they shouldn't trade him
Sorry, but CJ Watson upgrade over Blake or whoever minutes he takes is not as big as the downgrade from Pau to Boozer.
And a worse contract...
Don't forget the contracts. Boozer's is really fucking bad.
and I don't like Korver much. Or Watson.

Yeah, I see it as more of holding the fort(downgrade but not terrible replacement) or something at the position but the other guys in a possible deal being the real value.

Adding Sessions overall would be better than getting Booz/Watson. Trading Pau isn't a necessary move, its a move The Lakers make if a really good PG is available.
Get over it already. The Lakers average 23 FTA a game, and they had 24 by the end of 4th, it's right around their season average.
So what do you expect the refs to do if the Lakers don't foul jump shooters or when the Grizzlies hit one of their many put back rebounds? Make up phantom fouls to make it a bit even on the FTA?
If you have evidence that the Lakers blatantly hack the Grizzlies without being called, show us the gifs. Otherwise please stfu.
I'll give you the blown clear path foul, but that's it.
That argument is fine. I'll buy that. Though, I do think you are really underrating Watson. Your point on contracts. Boozer's contract is a year longer than Pau's, but you probably won't be able to get a better 4 during that year anyway. Remember, Boozer's contract also expires right when Love's does.

i felt so sorry for the refs on that video review.
That call was so, so hard to make. Nene and JJ's hands left the ball at the exact same time. I'm just happy something like that didn't happen in the playoffs.

I honestly can't believe that a year later, I'm happy that we got Boozer instead of Amar'e, lol.
The Boozer Defense Force celebrates not being the Amar'e Defense Force.

We are all on him because it makes his trade value higher. Otis might lurk here.

Bynum is having the best year of his career, Dwight is obviously better. There was a chance Dwight could be had, but now its clear that trading for him would be a bad move.
All aboard the Bynum train choo choo muthafucka.
