First, this year will be another huge year for him magnified by the fact that it essentially is his free agent walk year. Putting up huge numbers will increase his value. It could also give him some incentive to play some D. Teams will probably line up to sign him regardless, but we can hope.<BR/><BR/>The dilemma this causes though is that while we want him to have a huge year, doing so will drive up his price and he'll want the max deal. If the Jazz want to do that, they're going to have to get rid of AK. That's not objectionable to most. And we might even get a young defensive player in return.<BR/><BR/>With all that said, Boozer will not be traded this year. The Jazz will make the playoffs again and they're not going to shake things up. But be prepared to hear about Boozer's contract every time there's a bit of a lull in the season. Next summer will be one of the craziest on record.Basketball Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01806037670951567325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243748757154084940.post-9126379351860537612008-07-03T16:11:00.000-06:002008-07-03T16:11:00.000-06:00Oh yeah...I forgot AK...He'll be with us for 2 mor...Oh yeah...I forgot AK...He'll be with us for 2 more years, and then he'll be compared to "theo ratliff's expiring contract" in his last year.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06353879913720923051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243748757154084940.post-2111847240682836512008-07-03T15:29:00.000-06:002008-07-03T15:29:00.000-06:00The Jazz will trade Boozer---count on it.

There are 2 reasons why he would::<BR/><BR/>1-Sign with another team (Miami)--I don't think this would be his main reason for opting out.<BR/><BR/>2-Demand a much larger long-term deal. The Jazz (assuming he plays similar to this year) would have to fork out well over 100 million bucks to keep Boozer over the next 6 years. I don't think O'Connor will put out this type of money for an injury risk/playoff choker.<BR/><BR/>I love Okafor, but he wants 60 million over 5 years from the Bobcats.

Right now they have 28 mil in salaries on the books. With the trade the Jazz pick up 6 million from Thomas so that leaves them with 22 mil. 13 mil is going to Barron, figure on 15 for Brand and AK is at 15 for next year add it all up and they are at 63 mil total still under the luxury tax. <BR/><BR/>Regarding Boozers value, name 3 other players in the league that have had back to back 20-10 seasons. It is true that he had a bad post season, but the year before he was a beast. If the Jazz put him on the block officially every team in the league would call. I hope that we can keep him, like I said if you see any signs of him bolting, get rid of him before he can leave you high and dry.Hammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15629496184771083806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243748757154084940.post-73843895058353611212008-07-03T11:58:00.000-06:002008-07-03T11:58:00.000-06:00Why yes I could.

I think the idea of Maggette is fading fast though. Especially when I see Boston and San Antonio both want him. Oh well, lets cross our fingers.<BR/>I agree with C.B. and Hammy on Boozers value. I think avid Jazz fans are the only people that feel like his stock has gone down. No question we could get somthing significant for Boozer right now and I am all for it. So, C.B. do you mind giving other NBA Execs Booze-Hounds Digits?Brock Kassinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15891724260406096816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243748757154084940.post-1053337993607008892008-07-03T09:37:00.000-06:002008-07-03T09:37:00.000-06:00Boozer would have a high value because someone wou...Boozer would have a high value because someone would want to write him off of their books at the end of next year.<BR/><BR/>cap space. <BR/><BR/>He is undervalued as to his output and what he is making.
