Boozer Keeps Talking Miami Heat Even After Jazz Says to Stop

The Utah Jazz have asked Carlos Boozer to stop talking about how much he would love to play for other teams, but the forward can not cease expressing his excitement over the Miami Heat.

send him to the heat, Udonis Haslem and Dorrell Wright are exciting young players to add to a rebuilding Jazz team, Udonis was key to the championship and Dorrell Wright is ready to play like or better then Ariza any month or year now.
As a fan from Australia with family in Miami, it would be great for the NBA and NBA fans alike to see Wade, Beasley, Boozer and hopefully Odem rebuild Miami to championship status while its former players make another great franchise (Jazz) even better buy contributing in important ways.

Send Boozer packing. The Jazz don't need him anymore since they were able to keep Paul Millsap who, in my eyes, is more of a work horse than Carlos. Craig Bolerjack put it best in saying Millsap eats glass both offensively and defensively. Carlos can't even stay healthy for more than a full season. Booz has burned too many bridges and even Jazz owner has expressed his disapproval of what Carlos has said. I think most Jazz fans would agree in wanting to see him gone.

A jerk is a jerk. He plays dumb and acts dumber. Please Jazz, make that deal and let us get started with 2009-10. The American public is not worried about taxes that people have to pay when they make 12M a year. If you could only throw in Kiri, who still cannot shoot or dribble after all these years in the NBA and he has lost a great deal of his defensive game. Other teams seem to move on and sign players, the Jazz are always talking to someone. Please, I could make better, faster and more useful deals than all the crew that we have. Sloan is also over the hill. Jazz still have no reliable shooters of a defensive bigman.

Boozer is not in touch with reality. What a smug @$$!!!

Typical boozer....always looking out for his money. Trade him to Miami...only for Beasly though.

[Toney]

He is all about money. Will never make it big time.

All he talks about is money. He scores but gives up more on defensive. He is a liability hope they send him to new york.

Boozer's comments are taken out of context. Crap journalisim.

wow , terrible journalism. You call can goto the radio station online and listen to the whole interview. Carlos was very diplomatic and politically correct in his answers to direct questioning. The answers he gave could be plugged in my any player in the NBA and he kept it as general as possible.

What started all this is that Utah told him that he was not in their long term plans. Carlos could have opted out and Utah would lose him for nothing. He was told to opt-in so Utah could benefit from a sign and trade and that it would work out for everyone. Boozer gets his money this year and Utah gets to trade him and hopefulyl net another rotation player (which is their goal).

But why even break it down when you can just listen to a chopped up radio interview. By the way the proper way to quote an interview like that is to include the question asked with the response. Try it next time.
