Carlos "Loozer" Boozer interviewed again today with Miami station. He states that he opted in knowing Jazz would try to trade him. Boozer always about money. He didnt opt in to play with Jazz but to be paid the max next year with another team with possibly resigning a new contract with another team.

He is such garbage!!!!

I again point out that the guy everybody worships here signed a front-loaded deal with ANOTHER team to either leave the Jazz (to be aback-up on another team) or screw the Jazz financially.......

Somehow, that's OK...... But Boozer wanting to get what he thinks he's worth, that's such garbage......

The more he can get Wade asking for him the more leverage the Jazz could have.

Millsap did exactly what the Jazz FO told him to do. He went out and found the best deal he could and the Jazz then matched it. How is that "screwing the Jazz?"

Because it forces our (small market) team to take out a loan to pay him $10 million.......

How is that any better than Boozer saying he wants to get paid as much as he thinks he's worth...... I don't see the difference, at all, between what Millsap did and Boozer is trying to do.......

The Jazz have annoited Millsap the PF of the future, what exactly is Boozer supposed to do? Which player in his situation would accept a demotion to the bench? He's the 2 time All-Star, he's the guy who led the team to Conference finals.......

If I was him, I'd probably ask for a trade too.......

I don't think Millsap did anything wrong, and I don't see that Boozer did anything wrong...... Neither guy did us any favors this off-season......

It's not. And neither is what Boozer is doing. He's just pointing out that one person gets criticized for something he shouldn't and another doesn't get criticized for something he shouldn't.

Oh boo hoo. That's the Jazz's fault then. No one owes you anything.

I agree, so then why is Boozer getting critisized?????????

Boozer OPTED IN and proceeded to shop himself around the league as if he hadn't. To me that's very different than a RFA pursuing the best available contract.

Yes. A RFA is a FA. He is obligated to play for whomever pays his check in the end. A player negotiating a contract is different than negotiating a trade.

Boozer could have opted out and signed one year contract or multiple year contract with the team of his choice but 4 million extra dollars worth emnbarrassing himself by opting in with Jazz even though he doesnt want to be there.

This is a guy that moved to Florida just to save State Income taxes that would go to the Utah People.

Why would anyone want him on their team as he is a loozer that cares about money more than winning? It is not like he is that good of player either. Worst defensive forward in the league by far.

GMs know that I would be surprised if Jazz can get more than a bench player for him.

I want Hamilton for him but doesnt seem like Detroit that interested in him even though they have no room for Hamilton now that they signed Gordon.

I guess getting a bench player is better than nothing since Loozer could have opted out if he wasnt so greedy.

millsap was a restricted free agent following regular protocol. in fact, he even waited until after the jazz had told him to see if he could do better.

boozer chose to opt in with the jazz. he chose not to become a free agent. the jazz did not tell him to go look elsewhere. he currently is under contract with the jazz. yet he continues to run his mouth, nay, even lie to other media outlets about supposed conversations. (which, IF they took place, should have taken place behind the metaphorical closed door.) even his agent (per ksl news tonight) has told him to stop.

i cant speak for everybody here, but i for one dont worship millsap. but i do have a lot of respect for him. but i also think the jazz need to change their offense if they want to succeed with him as a starter. but im losing more and more respect (if i have any left at all) for boozer with each passing word that comes out of his mouth.

This morning I spoke to Carlos Boozer about his potential trade to the Heat. And while he wouldn’t go too in depth on specifically wanting to play for the team, he raved about the South Florida lifestyle, the people, the lack of state income tax, and praised Dwyane Wade, Pat Riley, Erik Spoelstra, and the entire organization for being “top notch.” To me, it’s pretty clear that Miami is his preferred destination. He also added that he and D-Wade would “be one hell of a combo.” I’d love to see this deal happen – to bring a 27-year-old All-Star (when healthy) and Olympic gold medalist to team up with Wade would be a great move. Also, if the Heat can lure Lamar Odom away from the Lakers, suddenly the roster would receive a major talent upgrade that provides Wade with the complementary players he’s been begging for. If you want to hear the Boozer interview, check it out on WQAM.com or hear the clips right here on the Sun-Sentinel’s website.

Red, the mere fact that you think the Sap deal and Boozer spewing his garbage from his mouth with no fore-thought AFTER OPTING IN is at all similar shows that you are a complete Boozer homer and it is getting really old. The guys can't say the right thing EVER. People that do that either continue doing it or learn to shut up. Unfortunately, he isn't smart enough to figure that one out.

I listened to the interview several times today. He clearly states that he does not want to start the season in a Jazz uni. He raves about everything Miami, MOSTLY the state income tax, and then when the guy asked him if he gets involved with talking to the Jazz FO about getting things done, he says "no that's not my style" and that he will let the Jazz handle the situation when he has openly stated for weeks now that they had mutually come to an agreement to trade him and has gone on the "TRADE ME RADIO TOUR" and creamed his shorts on air about any city he likes. HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO TALK! It's like he thinks what he says on a radio station on the other side of the country will never be heard anywhere else. Al Gore has proved that theory otherwise. ALL he cares about is money.

The sad thing is, he is likely going to play the whole season or at least a good chunk of it for us, and I'm going to have to clean up my carpet every time I see his lying ass face of whatever spews forth from my body. The guy is simply living on another planet, and every word he utters is going to make this season that much worse. I don't care what people say about locker room chemistry, you just aren't going to completely recover from a summer of this idiocy...

I didn't read/hear anything where Boozer said he doesn't want to play for the Jazz/isn't going to play for the Jazz....... The only thing he has said is that the Jazz have told him they want to go in a different direction and that both he and the management have agreed to come up with a trade.......

Now, is he lying, some of you think so, I would think the Jazz brass has as much, if not more, reason to be deceptive, to the fans and the media, about what they've told Boozer.......

I still don't see any difference between what Boozer and Millsap did....... I don't give a damn if Millsap is a RFA, he SIGNED with another team, not simply another team, mind you, but our divisional rival...... And not only that but he signed a deal designed to hurt the Jazz financially....... Remember how many of you were whining about that, and raving about Portland just being out to hurt the Jazz? Or do people here have really short memories?

Boozer exercised a clause in his contract, that we gave him........ To stay with the Jazz....... It's not like Boozer is refusing to show up to play and just wants to collect his paycheck....... I'm sure it was mostly a financial decision, unlike MIllsap, who never, if you believe him, even spoke with Portland's coach or GM about his role on the team.......

I don't have a problem with what Millsap did, he went out and found the best contract offer he could, what's the problem with Boozer doing the same, and finding out the best option for him was to remain in his current contract?

But the player you're all upset with is the one who opted to stay with the Jazz........

That's comedy.......

Your delusional.

I never heard Millsap on the radio riding Dwade's jock like a love struck hoochie.
Boozer opting in isn't the issue, It is his trade me radio tour AFTER HE OPTED IN that is an issue.
Millsap has said and done just the opposite AFTER HE SIGNED.
Boozer is doing everything he can short of tampering to piss off the Jazz.
If you can't see that, well them homer glasses.............

Seriously, are you stupid?

Yes, Boozer has said nice things about DWade, who wouldn't, Wade is a great player...... So what is he's said he'd like to play with him in Miami? The Jazz HAVE TOLD HIM THEY DON'T WANT HIM HERE......

What exactly do you expect him to do?

Millsap signed with a team without speaking to either the GM or the Coach, if you believe him..... And he signed a contract designed to specifically hurt the Jazz financially......

If you can't see that you're the one with homer glasses......

red, watching you make excuses and justifications and use any kind of logic you can think of to try to defend Boozer is absolutely pathetic. I wish you could step outside yourself to see how sad it looks. I'm not going to say much about Boozer anymore, because his own words speak volumes about the situation, but anybody trying to defend him at this point is clearly.... I don't even know what, something far from whatever I could ever imagine myself being.

I am not defending Boozer, I don't give a damn if he stays or if he goes (besides how it's going to affect the Jazz as far as winning/losing goes).......

I am not Boozer's friend and I don't get paid to defend him.......

What bothers me is how blatantly pathetic all of you are in defending Millsap and attacking Boozer...... Hypocracy is the only thing that bothers me on this issue, I couldn't care less about Boozer.......

None of you have an answer for the fact that Millsap signed a deal with another team, a deal specifically structurted to cause as much damage to the Jazz as possible....... Again, I think there's nothing wrong with that, it's all business, but the same standard should also apply to Boozer....... It's all business.......

Millsap was going out and getting the money he worked hard for, he deserves to get his paycheck considering how much we paid him for how hard he has worked.

Sure Boozer has probably worked hard to get his money but now what is he doing? When was the last time you saw Boozer play with the heart and balls like Millsap plays with?
