[Guest marlins02]

6 years and $68 million with the Jazz?

 

didnt they just give $50 mill okur?

[nc marlin]

He really played the Cavs. They let him out of his contract because he was underpaid and planned to give him more money and he goes and signs elsewhere. Have fun in Salt Lake!

[Izzie]

that's disgusting

[Das Texan]

the jazz had over 30 million in salary cap space.

 

 

 

its a stupid contract.

 

 

shocking.

[Joe]

What an a**hole, and if he bombs, it only hurts the Jazz, he still gets his money

[Das Texan]

boozer is solid.

 

 

 

just not that solid.

[Iowa]

Wow congrats to Boozer.. I was always impressed with his level of play in the NBA

 

Front court of Boozer, Kirilenko and Okur is solid to go along with Arroyo and Giricek... Also got Kris Humphries who is damn good.

 

Not to shabby

[FishFan19]

I thought the Cavs & Boozer had a verybal agreement so they did not pick up the 3rd year of the contract. I think Paxson got played.

Yeah, they basically let him out of his contract AND agreed to give him more money then he turned his back on them for some more cash in Utah.

 

I guess he couldn't put food on the table with the Cavs offer :plain

[Das Texan]

arent we talking like 25-30 million more from Utah?

[Joe]

Does that make it ok to f*** over the Cavs?

 

And i'm not sure how much it was

[Izzie]

i still can't believe it, over 10 million a year...Carlos f'ing Boozer.

 

i remember the days when the biggest starts were paid that, psh that went down the drain fast.

Yes it does. Get off his back.

 

Someone gives you that much more money, you take it, you are 24.

 

Whoever says he will bomb is an idiot, he will do very well under the best current coach in the game, Jerry Sloan.

 

If I remember correctly he groomed a certain power forward pretty well while he was in Utah.

 

Good luck C-Booz.

Have you ever heard of potential or being young?

[Izzie]

I'm not saying he's bad or anything, he's a solid young player that I'm sure will bloom to be even better but you can't tell me that that's not a s***load of money for him.

[Passion]

Big men are at a premium.

[ChiSox Man]

Yeah, we overpayed Okur and Boozer. So what? Everyone overpayed everyone. $46 mil to Okur and a front-loaded $68 mil to Boozer are excessive but necessary to get the job done. They're not ridiculous contracts. $42 mil for Foyle is an example of a ridiculous contract. We did what we had to do to get some solid size and we got the job done.

 

Name one other team who had a better offseason, or even as close to a successful offseason as we did?

 

DRAFT:

14 - Kris Humphries, solid PF which we needed badly, Big 10 player of year, Big 10 rebound/point leader

 

16 - Kirk Snyder. Did you watch the NCAA tourney? Try telling me this guy was not the steal of the draft at #16.

 

21 - Trade a worthless 7'5" stiff for a future first-round pick? Works for me.

 

 

FREE AGENCY:

$16 mil, 4 yr to get back Giricek. This guy doesn't miss shots, simple as that.

 

$16 mil, 4 yr to get back Arroyo. Kid got a lot of offers from many teams but loves the Jazz so came back for next to nothing.

 

$46 mil to Okur. Excessive, yes, but size is a valuable commodity this offseason. And it's $20 MIL under what he and his agent wanted, which was in the $60-65 mil range. And there's about a .00001% chance that Detroit will match.

 

$68 mil to Boozer. STOLE HIM RIGHT FROM CLEVELAND'S POCKET. BRILLIANT.

 

 

All we need to do now is resign Mo Williams, my favorite player in the league.

 

 

 

Don't f*** with Utah.

[Rebirth]

Now the Cavs won't be as good. Boozer is a beast. Great pick up by the Jazz.

[Das Texan]

spurs got a steal in ginobili for 52 million.

[Das Texan]

boozer and the cavs played a dangerous game.

 

 

 

isnt boozer a RFA though still?

[Fish Tank Frenzy]

he is a RFA but the Cavs dont have the funds to sign him under the cap, that is why they were going to give him the MLE

 

He did screw the Cavs, but who cares, in this day in age, any NBA executive should understand that players have no loyalties, there only loyalties are to the "KWAN", and if the Cavs thought that no one would offer him any money he is just a bigger moron than anyone thought

 

What the Cavs did was unprecedented, and will NEVER happen again, I say to Boozer, you and your agent are two very smart men, take your money while youre young, you will never get a chance to make this kind of money ever again, I mean Boozer is only 22 years old

[miami15]

I guess Alaska and Salt Lake are kinda similar . . .

[Das Texan]

the game the cavs and boozer played was dangerous.

 

 

to say that there is NO loyalty in the NBA is a farce.

 

 

 

Bruce Bowen opted out early on his deal to save the Spurs in salary cap space....

 

 

and we are resigning him to a longer deal.

 

 

I think that there would be NO player that would turn their back to 28 million dollars.

 

 

i mean hell look at us and pudge...he wanted 16 millon more and look at what that caused.

 

 

this is 12 million more on top of that.

Kris Humphries wasn't the Big Ten Player of the Year.. Devin Harris was.

[Passion]

He was the freshman of the year and all-big ten team player.
