No he wasn't obligated but from what I remember we could offer him more ($ or years or both? Can't remember exactly) than another team could just signing him, hence the sign and trade for him to maximize his dollars.

Your memory is swiss cheese. We could have offered him an additional year, but Boozer neither received an additional year or more salary for agreeing to the TPE. We sent the Bulls a protected second rounder to entice them, but it was still nice of them to agree to it (Ainge would not with Hayward). Boozer did it with no additional compensation. And he betrayed CLE to join Utah. :). He's OK in my book.

Not only did he ditch CLE and Lebron for us, he fully committed to us by signing a 6 yr deal too. That's basically the entirety of his prime locked up with us. People said he didn't care but he was averaging 20+10 for us while “not caring”. I mean could anyone seriously expect more? He got owned by Pau Gasol but Pau kinda did the same thing to Garnett in 2010 finals, so I wouldn't really blame Booz for that either

I think the league is so much more entertaining when you have low post players of this ilk. Can you imagine what Boozer would do against the Rockets small ball lineup? Watching these highlights made me think that Boozer is an interesting comp for Zion. Obviously Zion is a rich man's modern version, but Boozer dominated inside with a combination of speed, strength, and athleticism while being undersized and a sub-par defender in space.

Sub par defender in space is giving him way too much credit. He was a poor defender, and dreadful in space.
 
No, it’s too early to tell. Defensively he’s as bad as Bozo. Offensively, though different games, they’re fairly similar as well. So now, let’s see how Bogey plays in the playoffs. Bozo was huge at times.

Right now Bojan is not even in the top five:
1) Boozer
2) Memo
3) Rickey Green
4) Harpring
5) Ingles
6) Bojan
If Bogey finishes out his contract at this same level then he will move up, but unless Jazz win a title in then next few years it is hard to imagine Bojan makes top 3.

There is a serious lack of love for Matt Harpring in this thread! That dude was awesome as a player, as a tone setter, as a leader, and in the locker room. He was going to go hard all the time!

Looks like the legit list.

Bogey is almost serviceable. Boozer was bad defensively.

I like Harpring, but I rate Bogey above him.
