Where will Boozer end up?
- Thread starter Beantown
- Start date
All power forwards love Chicago settled with Rose at PG and Noah at C. Nobody really wants to play second fiddle to Lebron but it would be better than playing in crappy team. They are more willing to play with Wade.
LeBron wants NY but he is afraid that his supporting cast will not be good enough at PF/C. NJ picked Favors to make a room for LeBron, it's a risky move cause PF will not sign there.
Toronto looks for Bosh's replacement and also Phoenix needs either Amare or other great PF.
My % for Boozer who will look for 5-year 15 M per year contract:
Chicago 14
Miami 23
New York 14
New Jersey 5
Phoenix 10
Toronto 8
Utah 21
Other 5

Ya it makes sense if LBJ doesn't go to NY, they both played for D'Antoni in PHX and both players really liked him so seems like a natural fit for sure.

Boozer would be best suited for Chicago or New Jersey. Or Olimpiakos.

Miami, New Jersey and Chicago have expressed interest in unrestricted free agent Carlos Boozer and are in the process of scheduling meetings with him on or after July 1, according to league sources. New York is also expected to reach out to the Jazz's two-time All-Star.
The Utah forward is second among big men, behind Chris Bosh, on the wish list of Miami, which is hoping to bring together the powerful triumvirate of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Bosh.
Boozer is an established inside scoring threat, averaging 19.5 points and 11.2 rebounds with the Jazz this season.
In addition to his on-court production, teams are interested in Boozer because he could come cheaper than Suns forward Amare Stoudemire. Stoudemire views himself as a max-salary player, but few teams agree.
On the other hand, clubs believe they can get Boozer for multiple years at a contract beginning around $13 million a year, according to sources.
