I'm gonna agree with Jake here. He took 2 less shots per game last year than the year before when he scored 17ppg. He shoots 50% so if he takes 2 more shots per game he woulda been at 17ppg again more than likely. Last year he shot right around his career numbers FG% wise so the only reason for the lack of numbers scoring wise was due to the lack of shots.
All that said I still wanna see him amnestied next year, or hopefully with no Rose he has a monster year and he can be traded. Once again if not for the presence of Taj Gibson I don't think the amnesty word would be thrown around as much in regards to Boozey. |

I do think this is his last year as a Bull, barring either an amazing resurgence and/or a Bulls championship
So I think this is his last year |

It is really a wasted year. Personally if it was me...I'd amnesty Boozer...not match Asik...and I'd use a portion of the quiche to buy out Mirotic's contract and get him in the system. Even if they don't amnesty Boozer...I want Mirotic over here soon. |

I kinda like that idea....correct me if im wrong, its gonna cost the bulls 8 mill to get him over here right?? 3 mill for a buy out then the 5 mill it takes to sign him right??
Baltas last comment makes sense as well. |

Baltas last comment makes sense as well. Something like that...which makes bringing him over very difficult when the Bulls are this close to the tax and only have the $5 million MLE to work with. |

Either way...if they go with the amnesty with Booz and it's a wasted year you'd seriously have to think about it IMO. But back to Asik...there's no way in hell I'd match that offer...sorry. Whoever gets him needs to stand him 10 feet in front of a Jugs machine every day this summer and blast balls at him. I'm gonna throw this out there...and basically I have no clue as to his knees right now...but what's the poop with Oden? |

but what's the poop with Oden? Plans to take the entire 2012-2013 season off. Good read here including those details. |

Rockets still haven't finalized their offer sheet to Asik, because they're dealing with Dwight Howard matters and Amnesties.
Thus, updated the "deadline" in this thread, assuming that they get it done today or tomorrow. |

I hope things like this are just a smokescreen to extort a player out of them. |

If they were to match, this would be a critical point for the Front Office.
Doing so would mean that one of a few things must happen for this not to be a simply terrible move: 1. Omer Asik becomes a much, much better player 2. We win a championship in the next two years 3. We are able to deal Asik away at some point and not have it be for another terrible contract |
