Let him walk. Then I will buy tickets to the game when he returns as an opponent to ESA (barring an injury, which is likely) and watch AK swat his shot into the third row and watch Millsap burn him. He is soft, he has no heart and he is a choke artist as we saw in the playoffs. So long Carla, good riddance. SLC is for players with heart!

Brad, Brad, Brad. The "Cleveland" story is not that complex to figure out. You're right in pointing out that any pre-arranged deal would be illegal, that's why it didn't occur. If it did, then Clevland should have been hammered by the league, like what happened to Minnesota. Why is it so hard to figure out why Cleveland would let Boozer out of his last year? Because NOBODY, including Boozer himself, had any idea a team would be willing to give a second year, second-round draft choice $68 million dollars. Boozer was like Milsap, a promising young player, still on his rookie contract, who would likely be looking for a raise, and so Cleveland decided to do it sooner than later. The offer they made was certainly generous considering Boozer's then status. Remember Paul Silas said Boozer would never be anything more than a role player. So Utah shocked everyone by laying out $68 million. Nobody is going to turn down an offer like that in professional sports where any game could be your last, due to injuries. Stop using the Cleveland incident to write your "reality-show" articles, and create another of your Boozer bashing parties.
