Mayo has only become worse over the years, so it would be a gamble. They could likely make Boozer fit, pending the CBA, but the Bulls would likely have to throw in a draft pick or two. Mayo is due only $5.2 million, but without signing Randolph, the Grizzlies are well under the cap. The Grizzlies have a crowded field at the two guard with Mayo, Xavier Henry, Tony Allen and some could argue Rudy Gay as being a viable option at the position.īoozer would be an expensive back up if Randolph continues to start, but perhaps they would rather add quality depth to their power forward slot while freeing up some room for their young shooting guards. Well, the Grizzlies could move shooting guard O.J. So, lets say Memphis wants to keep the previously mentioned Rudy Gay, but they still want to add another power forward. Obviously, this is all hypothetical, but these trades would work if the Bulls ultimately decide the Boozer experiment is over. They have led their team to 11 victories while losing only five games. Many of you will be surprised to not see Monta Ellis on this list, but, with the contract they just gave David Lee, it is unlikely they would make a move for another starting power forward. Chicago Bulls' Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan are quickly becoming the best duo in the league. If the lockout does come to an end soon, the Bulls have to be ready to perhaps shop Boozer if they are looking to fill their spot at shooting guard. Perhaps the Bulls would look to move Boozer to fill their void, but it is yet to be seen. The Bulls do have options behind Boozer in Taj Gibson and Omer Asik, and they do have a spot to fill at shooting guard. That is no reason for fans to go run panicking, but it certainly stirs speculation if the Bulls overpaid for Boozer. The Chicago Bulls went 62-20 last season, but many still feel that Carlos Boozer didn't fulfill what the fans or the team wanted.īoozer's numbers did dip from 19.5 points and 11.2 rebounds per game in Utah to 17.3 and 9.6 in his first year in Chicago.
