Carlos Boozer

According to sources in Cleveland, Boozer and Rob Pelinka approached the Cavs about letting him out of the last year of his contract June 30. Boozer could have been Cleveland's next season for $695,000, but the Cavaliers did not pick up their option after, the club said, Boozer had committed to re-signing for the team's full midlevel exception -- somewhere around six years and $40 million.

Since then Boozer has agreed to a six-year, $68 million contract with the Utah Jazz.

All of this controversy has lead Boozer's agent, Pelinka, to resign as Boozer's agent.


Where to even begin with this thing. The player asks for a little respect from his team, and for once the team gave it to him, and the player stabs them in the back. The Cavs could've had Boozer back for about $695k by exercising an option on his cntract. This is low. It would be one thing if the Cavs did this move on their on. When the player comes along and asks for this arrangment you expect him to live up to it.
