Boozer Agrees to Terms With Bulls (5 yrs/80 mil)

[honz]

We don't want any of Chicago's garbage or terrible contracts. Let's get our cap situation sorted out.

Noah? Taj Gibson? James Johnson?

 

[honz]

For what? What S&T did you think they passed up?

You don't know me, you don't know me at all.

 

[calijazz]

Noah? Taj Gibson? James Johnson?

No way they part with Noah, probably not Gibson either. The best we could probably hope for is James Johnson and a TE.

 

[TroutBum]

Hahaha @ SloanFail.


SUBMIT TO THE DOLLAR SIGNS!!!

 

[Chad Feldheimer]

Noah? Taj Gibson? James Johnson?

So they were going to just give up one of their good young players when they didn't have to? How does that make sense?

Boozer signs with Chicago

From Chad Ford's twitter account:

@chadfordinsider Bulls agree to 5 yr, $80 mil deal with Carlos Boozer. Bulls still have enough cap space to sign a max player

Just passing this along.

 

[TroutBum]

Holy Freaking Crap.



NewsBreaker, FTW

 

[Jeditiger]

Great. Just ****ing great.

Well, obviously they don't have to now. Simply stating that I would gladly take those players off their hands if possible.

Jazz just regressed. Hope the Boozer haters are happy. Jazz are now a 41-41 team at best.

 

[TroutBum]

Great. Just ****ing great.

My thoughts exactly. More minutes for Fes/Sap = More wins.

 

[Jeditiger]

lol

I couldn't be more pleased.

Do you honestly think we had a shot at the title with Boozer as one of our bigs? Seriously?

 

[Hopper]

So we get nuthin'.

Yeah, 40 wins next year, loss of Deron the year after that, and then right back to 2003-04 eh, Sean? Don't go forgittin that ya heard it from Nerd first, now, hear?

there are some dilusional fans on here if you really think we win more games without getting anything to replace booz. go ahead and keep vilifying boozer if it somehow makes you feel better to do so... if you get your wish, the jazz will win 40 games next season, lose deron in 2012, and be right back where we were in 2003-04. i wonder who the 2013 equivalent of aleksandar radojevic will be.

We had a hell of a lot better of a shot than we do now. Jazz are ****ed unless KOC works out a miracle.

Yes, paying a 30 year old guy who is injured for half of his games $16 million a year for 5 years would have been a great move. Get over it. Boozer's a very good player, but he's not worth overpaying for.

 

[bluenote]

So what incentive do the Bulls or Boozer have to do a sign and trade? Sports radio is talking sign and trade options with the Bulls because the deal is not officially done yet.

 

[honz]

@johnhollinger: $80 mil deal has cap figure of $13.8M, which should leave juuuuust enough for LBJ if no cap surprise tonite. S&T drops 1st year to $13.2M.

S&T still a possibility?

 

[calijazz]

I was honestly rather indifferent when it came to Boozer. I could see the positives/negatives of him staying and positives/negatives of him leaving. Just wanted to know one way or the other so we can move on. It's Millsap's show now...he better step to the plate.

 

[Chad Feldheimer]

Yeah 16M a year is too much for Booze is too much. Good luck in Chicago.
