Boozer is making a wise decision. I think he found out that there wasn't as much of a demand for him as he thought. He is going to make a ton of money this year and next year will depend on how he plays this upcoming season.

I hope he has the best season he has had...plays better D...rebounds better...prepares himself physically for the long season. If he is dedicated the Jazz could have a great year.

Did he opt in to be traded? I sure hope so. I don't know 1 fan that would rather have just Boozer back vs Memo and Millsap. We better have Memo back no matter what.

i guess if there's positive to this.......its that he'll be playing for a contract this year so he just might think about giving us 100%.

WHY?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 3:38 p.m. June 30, 2009
It's official, Boozer only cares about himself. He wasn't about to loose any money to help the team move toward a championship. If he really wanted to be here, he would've resigned ofr a smaller contract so we could keep Paul. Watch Memo opt out and go elsewhere because he won't wanna play for what the Jazz'll wanna pay him, so instead of getting an extension with Okur we'll get one season of Boozer playing like a jerk up up his stock around the league while the Jazz stay mediocre without Memo, and who knows how they'll be able to keep Millsap. Seriously Boozer, take a hint: WE DON'T WANT YOU!!!

now all we can hope for is a trade. Boozer found out he sucks and no one wants him. Its time to swallow your pride and start kissing jazz fans butts.

This is just great! Welcome to another year of Boozer only playing 66% of the games along with his pathetic defense! I'm glad Korver decided to stay as a shooter of his caliber is rarely found. All we need is Memo to opt in or sign an extension and Millsap to start at the 4.

Just like Boozer said, "I'm a Jazz man." We dead with him, we dead without him. This is maybe worst day ever for Fedor. Jazz players, keep a close eye on your girlfriend.

I had a feeling that Boozer would not opt out. No 'pay raises' out there for him this summer.

I also believe that KOC is working on a sign and trade deal.

the only reason boozer isn't leaving is that no one was going to sign him, he will leave next summer watch he will be a judas goat and leave us in the lurch if he can walk out, he probly will miss most of the season with a ouchie. boob.

No surprise there. We trade him before the trade deadline, if not before the season starts.

Great. We have another year of "Will he? Won't he" from Boozer. Looks like Boozer will distract us all year, kill our cap space, and leave at the end of next season. Thanks Boozer, thanks.
