From 2004-06 Boozer missed the equivalent of an entire season of basketball due to a strained hamstring and sore foot. I think he eventually came around and was usually good and sometimes even great - but at the same time I never felt like he was fully on-board with the franchise either.

Boozer was a skilled player but he didn't really care.
 
Wow. This is pretty early. However, if you take into account price, role, effectiveness, and fit, he seems to be one of the best timed signings in our history. We need to talk about this in summer 2021 to get a true read on this though.

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!

Stop crapping on our recency bias!
 
Boozer gets points for agreeing to a sign and trade which returned Utah a valuable trade exception. My understanding is he was under no obligation to do this (see Gordon Hayward's exit to Boston).

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.

Yep - same with Hayward I believe. Which he opt'ed not to do.

So boozer was more about the money and Hayward was more about behaving like a petulant child because we let him become a restricted FA a few years before. **** Hayward.

**** boozer too for that matter.

Not only that. Booz already had his best years with us and was on his way to steady decline when he signed with Chicago. It was apparent that we as an organization wanted to go a different direction at the time and had mutually decided to part ways.

Haywho was everything opposite of that. His best years were still ahead of him and we pretty much decided that we wanted to build a team around him and threw all the money we could in order to keep him. But then he decided to ditch us the last sec and go be a bitch in Boston instead.
