They have a great coach, a great first-class organization and they're going to present me with an opportunity to be who I want to be individually as a player and at the same time be part of a winning franchise that contends for a championship and in the playoffs every year." How do you fit in there? Boozer: "I think I fit right in. We have Andrei Kirilenko, we [will] have Mehmet [Okur], Carlos Arroyo, Gordan Giricek, Matt Harpring and I fit right in at the power forward position. We'll move forward with a great coach in Jerry Sloan and I'm looking forward to the whole situation." </div> Link
In regards to the question "Why Utah?", sure the organization is tops and has great talent...but the main answer is because he is a greedy bastard. But you have to hand it to Utah, they are compiling a very nice offseason. I have no doubt in my mind that Jerry Sloan can turn this team into a contender.
Why Utah? I have came to another conclusion why he might like Utah, maybe it reminds him of home. He is from Alaska, and Alaska is alot more similar to Utah than Cleveland. Maybe he likes the cold weather, mountains, etc. I also read that one time when he was 17 (I think), his AAU coach brought him to Utah to play against some competition down there and he seemed to like it then, so maybe he really likes the city of Salt Lake and the state of Utah? Is it that hard someone would like Utah?
