    "O'Connor was asked if he feels he's being bullied by the Blazers. "You'd have to ask them that. What would you say? I don't think the Miller family likes to be bullied," he said."

    Crap. Crap. Crap!

    It sure sounds like Utah is going to match our offer to Milsap.

    Boozer was informed that well before we made our offer. They may be regretting telling him that now :)

    I just watched it on the local SLC TV. I forgot why I hate the Jazz so much until I listen to their smug lttle comments. "We don't like to be bullied" Fuck them! They always play that card.

    But it was quite evident to me that they will match. They do not see Boozer in their future. They have told him that. Boozer responded by asking for a trade. I don't think Deron Williams likes Boozer. And they all love Millsap.

    Bummer because I like Millsap too. Too bad the media and some of you morons will claim this as another KP "disaster".

    Well he certainly did all he could to try to land him. 10 million in 1 week was a nice attempt.

    Oh, I dunno, it puts some hurt on Utah, and that's not a bad thing.

    Anybody think if we lose Millsap we may make a trade for Boozer?

    I know it sounds crazy, but Boozer is a banger and a scorer down low, which is one of the things we need. He could share time with all of our frontline players, and we could let him go after one year if it didn't work out.

    He is excited by the offer. He was very diplomatic. His teammates said they were happy for him and deserved it. They also said that he told them that his first preference was to stay with them in Utah. But that is normal because they are all his friends. To me he seemed happy no matter where he winds up.

    Deron was not happy. They asked him about Boozer and he said "well he is on our team, but I have not talked to him"

    Boozer is not a banger! Thats why the fans are pissed at him. He is soft and playes no D. I mean NO D.
    Him and Okur together is a really soft combo.

    I know they are the biggest hypocrites. I really despise them. Do they forget the Cleveland/Boozer deal? I am sure Cav fans feel like they stole Carlos. Or how about going after Okur, Maggette, Jason Terry?

    especially considering the bullying that Larry Miller used to do himself to not only Karl Malone, but the refs and sometimes even the fans.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Pritchard and Penn should have put a kicker in the contract that pays Millsap $500,000 for every game he plays in Salt Lake City.

    You may be right, but the times I've seen Boozer play I've been impressed with his strength and tenacity down low. He seems to have his way on the boards and offensively when he's got it going.
