ESPN's Ric Bucher is reporting a rumor that the Golden State Warriors might be after Carlos Boozer. As our good friends over at Golden State of Mind break it down, it's a long shot, but one that Suns fans who want to keep Amare Stoudemire around should hope comes through.

So, please, do your part to send a message to Golden State's front office (who, like Steve Kerr and Robert Sarver base ALL personnel decisions on online blog polls). Head on over to Golden State of Mind and cast your vote for Carlos Boozer as a better fit for the Dubs.

And remember, if you're going to leave a comment, too, please be respectful of GSOM's rules and regulations. The only thing worse than an opposing team's troll on our site is one of our own getting ugly on someone else's.

Oh wonderful

I go give my vote for Boozer and find out that Amare is very much in the lead. I dont like the deal either way, really. Boozer’s a better fit in Utah. But yeah, for GSW, this is a better move. Boozer’s a damn good player.

In fact, I’d like to propose a trade with Utah. You give us Carlos Boozer and we’ll give you our Boozer (JRich).

that works for warriors

i think that really benefits everybody but utah besides getting injury proned boozer out of town and a great talent could have another shot with a coach that let’s you do anything.

Rumor is the Warriors don't want Amare or Boozer

No need to overpay for damaged goods. They are looking at someone who will come in for the MLE like Gooden and keep all their young studs.

This is an obvious one

Boozer is solid, no serious injuries and is at only 12M

Who are these guys again?

honestly

GSW might not be too choosy, both Phx & Utah have cap problems and they’d probably be happy picking off the morsels like vultures … it’s a sad situation to have only tasted the playoffs once and sniffed them twice in decades. No FA wants to go there, the only way they get real talent is getting lucky in the draft or trading for disgruntled players from elsewhere (case in point Baron Davis). Plus there’s been no sign Boozer has any more interest in going to GSW than Amare did/does.
