dang you guys lucked out. i still feel like you guys need something extra like a chris anderson type of players though to contend though. good luck though.

Ric Bucher just said that Rasheed Wallace will decide who wins the next Championship with who he goes to.

Boozer Staying With Jazz
Jun 30, 2009 5:40 PM EST

Utah Jazz forward Carlos Boozer announced on Tuesday that he is exercising his player option for 2009-10. Boozer will make $12.657 million this season and join the famed 2010 class a free agent next summer. “We are excited that Carlos has decided to remain with the Jazz,” said Utah Jazz general manager Kevin O’Connor. “We are hopeful he can continue to play at an All-Star level and will have an injury-free season.”

Boozer had been widely expected to become a free agent, but the economic climate of the NBA made delaying his free agency by one season a prudent decision.

Thorn: Nets Can Offer Two Max Deals In 2010
Jun 30, 2009 4:26 PM EST

In a conference call with season ticket holders, Nets president Rod Thorn hinted that the Nets could offer two max deals in the summer of 2010.

wtf? cleveland is friggin stupid. so instead of continuing to build around the guy who gets you 60+ wins you switch him to a position where he has a greater chance of being injured just so you can put 4 perimeter players around a 38 year old center. theyll lose in the 2nd round this yr.

I think their idea is to get a different miss match with LJ at PF. He can blow by most PF's like their standing still.

And still hold his own defensively...scary isnt it?

Yea but is his j going to consistently pull pfs out of the paint? i doubt it. an even when he goes past his guy then shaq is taking up space in the paint with his man. i just dont see this working out.

If he signs with Orlando or San Antonio, then he's right.
