Maybe this is who KP will get with our cap space: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3777170 ???
Re: OT: Boozer to opt out of final year!!! I'm not surprised at all. This time he isn't going against his work like he did with Cleveland. I really think that he would want to stay in Utah, but if he wants a huge raise how can he expect them to keep the core of the team together. Boozer to me seems to care so much more about money than winning.
Re: OT: Boozer to opt out of final year!!! So is this what you do now? Follow me from thread to thread and disagree with everything I say? Are you, Trench, and Lost One working for the same anti-Jurassic company? Man.....the enjoyment of this community is quickly going down the toilet and I'm just about sick of it.
Re: OT: Boozer to opt out of final year!!! "I'm opting out. No matter what, I'm going to get a raise regardless" I found it pretty amusing how he just flat out admitted it to the media. I mean, focus on the season first before you start talking about the offseason!
Re: OT: Boozer to opt out of final year!!! Why would anyone want to pay anything of value for Boozer after he publicly admits that he's going to opt out no matter what? Makes no sense to me. What would be REALLY funny, is if Boozer leaves, then some team with mucho capspace like Memphis offers a ridiculous amount of money for Millsap, and then Millsap leaves too because the Jazz owner doesn't want to go into lux tax.
Re: OT: Boozer to opt out of final year!!! I am asking a legitimate question. Do you think Boozer will win a title in Salt Lake? YOU said he only cared about money. I barely know how "Jurassic" is, I just saw a comment to debate.
De we want Boozer? It appears Carlos Boozer will be available next summer. He's announced that no matter what he is opting out of his contract with Utah. We have the cap space. We can sign him. We could also send RLEC to Utah in a sign and trade, and then move LA for a small forward or a point guard. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3777170 Paul Milsap is at the end of his rookie deal. He'll be a restricted free agent this summer. Either one of these guys would bring a more physical presence to the Blazers than LA provides.
Re: OT: Boozer to opt out of final year!!! hope he goes to Miami, want Utah to suffer for a few seasons like we had to.
Re: OT: Boozer to opt out of final year!!! If we want to look at another PF other than LaMarcus, I'd look at the very available Amare Stoudemire before Carlos Boozer.
Re: OT: Boozer to opt out of final year!!! Yes....in a couple years. The team they have now has everything needed for a championship. Look at their squad....they even have one of the most brilliant, experienced coaches in the business. They have quality players like Harpring, and AK off the bench. That said, some of the fat could be trimmed off of this team. A lot of these guys are young and completely raw. They aren't hurting the team, but they aren't specialist in any area and don't really do much but finish after getting a dish from Deron. There's no reason they can't win a ring in the next 3 years if they stay together and get along.
Re: De we want Boozer? They both average 15.4 shots/game over the last two years. The only difference is that Boozer gets to the FT more often and rebounds better. LMA wins on defense IMO, however.
Re: De we want Boozer? what have I heard said so much on this board that I happen to agree with and have been saying also? something about a cake in the oven or something? Let it finish.
Re: OT: Boozer to opt out of final year!!! Why would they suffer without Boozer? Millsap IS Boozer. I swear, they play the same way, put up similar stats, were drafted in similar spots in the draft, the list goes on and on. The Jazz should let Boozer go, but they MUST hang on to Millsap. It would be a grave mistake if they let him slip to another team just because they gave a big offer. I'd pay 9-12 million/year for Millsap, and I'm not kidding. He's that good.
Re: De we want Boozer? I'd like to keep LMA and somehow get Millsap as his backup. That would be awesome.
