Bench Boozer | 1:51 a.m. Dec. 27, 2008
If Boozer ever decides to play I say start Milsap and bring Boozer off the bench when needed. Maybe playing him less, he will not get injured as easy. Milsap is a tough dude. Boozer definitely does not deserve the huge salary he now receives. Milsap is the one that deserves an increase in salary. The youngsters played well friday night, I think maybe Boozer is starting to worry about getting his starting role back. Milsap has proved he can handle that role. Let the Booz go to Florida, we don't need him.

I wouldn't be so fast to push Bozzer out the door. We've played a very soft schedule so far and struggled with Boozer out.

As mush as I love Milsap I wonder how well we'll do with him against the bigger/better teams like Houston and LA.

Boozer is the only player on the team that can create in the post and we need that to be a contender. Hopefully Milsap can learn to catch the ball deep and do something with it. If he can demand a double team in the post it makes the whole offense run.

No moves, no gain, no playoffs.

Ok so if Okur and boozer where the players they were going to trade and they are injured what are we going to get in return for them?
Boozer seems to have some sort of circulation problem healing becuase whenever he is injured it usually takes twice as long to heal. I have always been a boozer fan but this is rediculous. I think it is about time for a second or third opinion.
Suggestion with next collective bargaining agreement, only half the pay when you are injured.
How much should the Jazz pay for Jarod collins golf Cart Accident? I don't know what is going on behind the scenes but I would simply stop paying him and let him sue me. Then it would be up to him to prove that he is not faking it.

Millsap played good against Boston. The best team in the league. Hmmm i think he could handle himself against Housten or LA. Thats just what i think though. By the way Fess and Kosta played good last night. Hope they can keep it up because we could use a good back up for memo

Anyone else feel like the booz is trying to string this out to avoid being moved to a team he doesn't prefer mid-season?

How many times do I have to tell you that Boozer left (emotionally) the Jazz a long time ago. The only thing left is how much can I get out of this divorce and Boozer is playing hardball with a first rate lawyer and the Players Union on his side. Shame on you Carlos Boozer. But as a friend of mine said..."What do you expect from Dook University? (Obviously a Carolina fan!! )
@ kcizzle | 11:49 a.m. Dec. 27, 2008
Boozer is already on a team mid-season that he doesn't prefer. It doesn't matter where he goes, he can opt out of the final year of his contract. This is why he won't/can't be moved. No one wants a player that will only finish out the year before opting out.

" I think we should stay the course until we get Memo back, get Milsap back, see what happens with Boozer."

No mention of Boozer coming back.

LET BOOZER SIT ON THE BENCH, LET HIM PLAY IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. Play Milsap in his place, make him #1 starter.
GO JAZZ!!!

NOTE TO COACH:

Seems to make all the differnce even when he is not scoring, to play AK at his proper position.

I could be wrong... | 1:14 a.m. Dec. 28, 2008
But I think the Jazz are the only team in the NBA that could roll with an all "white" starting 5.

Memo
Fesenko
Kofus
Kirelinko
Harpering

They could even bring Korver off the bench (even though is "whiteness" may be superior to some of the hypothetical starters.
