Still he should catch on with someone. I've watched him since his UConn days as well. Hawks can use a solid big. Musicman- I guess no one reads dates on articles. This one won't die, will it? Sandi,
Josh Boone can rebound and is an adequate interior defender, but has a limited offensive game and can’t make a foul shot. Still he should catch on with someone. I’ve watched him since his UConn days as well. Hawks can use a solid big.

Musicman- I guess no one reads dates on articles. This one won’t die, will it?

He had a bad year but don't think he was happy. Put him on the right team he will take off hes already shown he can do that.

I think that was true. They know that he's a player with weaknesses. His limitations are mostly on the offensive end. He's a pretty good post defender, shot blocker. At this point, who really knows who's in play. Another internet source says that they are going over a number of player options. It'll be interesting to see how this shakes out. Thank Joe. “Also i heard last year that the Nets were down on him so if that’s true they’d be willing to deal him.”

I know in the column you write that he's the nets backup center and he's the one they like best out of this group, but the C's need to get something significant back if they're giving up Baby, so in my opinion that rules out Najera, as he's only going to give you defense, rebounding and cheap shots. Boone has always been one of my favorite players since his days back at UCONN and i think if he's put on a good team he could be a really good player. I think this whole garbage in New Jersey has just brought him down a bit. Also i heard last year that the Nets were down on him so if that's true they'd be willing to deal him.

Saying that, I would have liked Moon for the same reason - a younger body. Getting a younger player with talent that they can develop over a few years makes sense. I guess that Yi fits that, though there is a question about real age, too. Thanks for your comments. Tom Hedge Knight,

The idea of up and coming youth as a role player here seems to have taken a back seat to ‘win now at all costs.’

Saying that, I would have liked Moon for the same reason – a younger body.

Thanks for your comments.
