I really hate Boozer for pulling that stunt and leaving the Cavs this year. They could have been a really good, definately playoff, team this year. I still think they will make the playoffs, but they would have been a lot better off with Boozer in there. I still can't believe the stunt him and his agent pulled on the Cavs front office

I agree, Boozer lost a lot of respect after he pulled what he did. But on the other hand the Cavs shouldn't have granted him free agency, can't always trust someones word especially when it involves millions of dollars.

And what makes it worse, they didnt just grant him free agency. He was slated to make a tiny salary this year, and the Cavs wanted to reward him and pay him what he was worth. So they opted out of the contract, which they did not have to do, just to do what was right and pay the man what he was worth....and then Boozer goes and fucks em. Shameful.

I agree, that was kind of a dumb and disrespectful thing for him to do. The Cavs likely would have paid him just as much as what he got, so I lost a lot of respect for him.

uh, i'm sorry, but the cavs did this for their gain too. the cavs did not want to give him what he was worth, they wanted to lock him down to a long term contract at a reduced rate (six years, ML exception). although i don't agree with what booz did, it's not like the cavs were totally innocent.

Im still a Bull's fan. Big Jordan fan and stayed with them. Never got with the Wizards. I did watch Kwame Brown play in HS. He lived ab an hour away. I look for the suns to make a big run this year with nash at the pt.

I love Jordan, basketball used to be my favorite sport until he retired. I'm a big Golden State Warrior fan, but I always loved to watch MIchael play.

thats a HELL of a stretch for a list, dallas and phoenix over the spurs? how can you justify that? a hobbled nash is not enough to push them to the second best team in the league
