This thing looks completely different with a big who can play on the perimeter....which is why I'm very high on Boozer. You'd still want a traditional rim-running center on the floor for 22-24 mpg but a front court of Flagg - PJW - Boozer could be a problem.
Re: this year: hopefully Kidd says, "Okay, we know that's something to try next year! Let's never use it again the rest of this year..." I fully believe this team has the talent (even without Kyrie and our lottery pick) to win a lot of the rest of their games, but I'm going to hope that they have the fundamental prudence to win zero of them.
Re: Boozer: I thought one of the knocks on him was that he couldn't guard on the perimeter, which would be a problem, but not at all in the way that you're saying.
