<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> The report that Jazz coach Jerry Sloan mentioned on Aug. 2 that said power forward Carlos Boozer is in powerful shape have been seconded by Kevin O'Connor's in-person encounter with Boozer in Los Angeles on Friday. Boozer is working out and playing with other NBA players, who play in three or four L.A. gyms. O'Connor, the Jazz's senior vice president of basketball operations, met with him there and tried to soothe Boozer's mind regarding the recent rumors about him and/or Matt Harpring being dangled for trades. "I sat with him, and I told him, 'It's all hogwash; I don't know what else to tell you,' " O'Connor said about reports that Utah is shopping Boozer around. O'Connor said he's happy to listen to any legitimate offer about anybody, but, "I've never picked up the phone (to initiate anything) about that kid this summer," he said. "We are not active in trying to pursue a trade." After seeing a very fit Boozer on Friday, that resolve is probably even stronger. "He's in fantastic shape," O'Connor said. "He looks in terrific shape. Everybody's been talking about how hard he's been working and what he looks like. I didn't see him play, I just saw him standing in a shirt and a pair of shorts, but he looks terrific."</div> <div align="center">Source </div>
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Stockton:</div><div class="quote_post"><div align="center">Source </div></div> Where's da pictures? I want to see some proof that Memo is in shape, Boozer is a body builder, and dat Tag will get in shape?! God Boozer is becoming a lot like Malone, both of them for weird reasons does not play well, both of dem are effing huge.
