I'll assume most of heard about this disgraceful situation. Boozer had an agreement with the Cavaliers that if they opted out of the final year of his rookie contract, he would sign a 6-yr., $42 mil. extension with the team.

To do that, of course, Boozer had to become a restricted free agent. No big deal. There was a handshake agreement that Boozer would come back, and we all thought Carlos could be trusted.

Well, a not-so funny thing has happened. Boozer went back on his word and will bolt for Utah for more Benjamins. :flame: :flame: :flame:

Carlos, you don't understand this right now, but you have ruined things for current and future players, yourself included. From now on, no team in their right mind will do ANY player a favor UNLESS they are 110% confident that it won't backfire on them. Long-term, you have poisoned the well in player-management relations b/c any semblance of trust is now gone.

Congratulations you two-faced snake. Enjoy the exciting social life in Utah. :mad:

As for "That school up north," take a wild guess who Boozer's agent is. That's right, former Michigan guard Rob Pelinka. Once again, fans in the Buckeye state get screwed, in part, by a Wolverine.

I saw on the news too that his old landlord wants to sue him because he stole the washer and dryer or something. :laugh:

I wonder if The Great Coach K taught him those values? I'm sure Jay BIAS or Dickie V could explain it if they weren't busy on the screenplay for Passion of The Krzyzewski.


At least the Buckeyes made a great choice with Matta. I grew up playing against Thad, or should I say, getting my a$$ handed to me by Thad. He's a great guy who's dream has always been to coach in the Big Ten. A big :thumbup: to the former "Cornjerker".

JB, enjoy it while you can...need I remind you of the Oregon game last year, or perhaps the Rose Bowl. :) <60 days until the college foosball season starts. I can't wait.

Back on topic....while it's refreshing to see a team try to do the right thing, this situation just reinforces what $$$ grubbers pro atheletes are these daze. I'll take college sports over pro any day of the week.

Ank, unfortunately more folks watch the NBA than the NHL (not moi).

re: your Big 10 shot....no worries. Just when did the last Big 12 team win a men's NCAA basketball championship? (hint: Nolan Richardson was coach) ;) Now come back and discuss when yer shLonghorns quit choking. :D

Yeah, that shows a shred (just that) of integrity on the agent's part. Boozer now says that there was never an agreement, and that he was "shocked" when the Cavs opted out of his contract. If that were true, I highly doubt that Pelinka would resign.

JB: Tressel's still 2-1 against you, and its in our house this year. :thumbup:

We are talking about a guy who left college early to go chase after the $ in the NBA. The Cavs should have know better than to trust 'Loozer'.

I am a Duke fan, and I never liked this guy.

1. what ed said

2. your guys need to quit bitching and crying and build some domes if you wanna play baseball, now that it's finally a $ sport the NCAA should bend over backwards and delay the season until april for a conference that never cared for it? you hear anyone down south whining to the NCAA about not being able to play hockey because of a lack of that thing called "winter" ? :gomer: :p

3. schlonghorns can choke all they want damnit, they're texas, it's what they do best.

It was very relevant tonight. I was just surprised that there were so many fans who were still upset over Boozer. The Cavs are doing much better these days and don't really need him. I figured everyone forgot by now.

As good as the Cavs are playing right now, they would probably be leading the East if they had a healthy Boozer instead of Drew Gooden.

If any of the clowns booing Boozer had looked at his performance for the Jazz they would be thanking their lucky stars that he is gone.

Wow, forgot about this thread.:eek:

Gotta agree w/ Stu though. Numbers wise, Boozer outdoes Gooden, and, of course, half the time Gooden mentally checks out.:shakehead That said, Boozer can't stay healthy, so...
