Boozer Agrees to Terms With Bulls (5 yrs/80 mil)

I was always a fan of Boozer's offensive game, but I don't understand why people are so upset that he's leaving. 80 million is a ridiculous amount of money to pay someone with Boozer's injury history. I am not too concerned about the scoring because I believe that any deficit that Millsap has scoring can be made up by either D-Will, or Hayward or other players. The issue really is who is going to back up Millsap long term. When he comes out that's when it is going to hurt. Millsap has a lot to prove, I can't wait to see him do it.

Kirilenko.

Ditto.
 
Just heard on KFAN. Why did we not try a S&T??
Who do you want back?
Better to be free and clear. Now KOC has to hold firm on NOT re-signing Korver. If that happens the Jazz - even with AK's $17M deal - will be very close to the luxury tax threshold. And that means KOC can field offers of all varieties for AK's expiring. Utah won't have to do a salary dump. Best case would be to get a couple of good players + a draft pick. A lot of teams will be looking to dump salaries. Clippers (Dalembert) and Jazz (AK) will be in the best position to offer a ton of relief. Let's start a bidding war and see what we can get in terms of players and picks at the deadline.
 
Holy crap. Reading through the thread and I am shocked there are people actually upset with this. These must be the people who have absolutely zero long-term vision. If this team re-signed Carlos Boozer at his market value, we would have been a just above average 1st/2nd round team until Deron Williams left in 2012. I'm sorry, but I'm not too keen on going the way of the Seattle Sonics. I'd rather them just move the team to Vegas tomorrow than put up with that kind of purgatory. I'd rather win 40 games next year and have a chance to win it all 3 years from now than continue to win 50 games and get knocked out early in the playoffs for the next 3.
