I can see everyone's fasination with Boozer but I really think that Cleveland see him along with LeBron as the future of their franchise.

I have always liked White's body from his days at Georgetown. The swapping 
of draft picks makes sense.  I agree that White would help out in rebounding 
but he doesn't fit the C's plans on Defense.  The Celtics like an athletic 
big man who can bumb the curl on picks and play within Harter's zone.  So 
from that stand point it doesn't make sense and I personally believe that 
Blount is better than White anyway.

I do want to float out the idea of using the mid level exception next year 
on carlos boozer.  He might command more than that but he would be an 
interesting presense.
