I can't stand Boozer. What I could never understand is why a few more dollars would matter (I know it was several million, but he already is a millionaire many, many times over) when his career would be light years better by staying in Cleveland. James would've made Boozer look like a better player than he ever could have been elsewhere. His time in Utah so far has proved this point perfectly.

Now that I look back on this deal, I realize we were also to blame. We only were going to let him out of his contract so that we could extend him for below market value (42 Million was the most we could offer him). 7 Million a year is low for the PF position as it seems every team is willing to pay out the eyes for their services.

If he proposed to us to let him out that was wrong. I have heard that it was the other way around. I think our blind owner was trying to pull a fast one.

Actually it was probably the first, and Karma is just a bitch.

If only Gooden would play as consistent as Boozer, he has all the skills and potential... maybe one day

Landlord sued singer over purple alterations to Hollywood manse

MARCH 20--Claiming that his $70,000-a-month tenant Prince undertook an extremely tacky makeover of his Los Angeles mansion, an NBA star recently sued the mercurial singer over the purple-hued alterations. In a January complaint, Carlos Boozer, a forward with the Utah Jazz, sued Prince/MPG Music over unauthorized work done on the 10-bedroom, 11-bath West Hollywood property, which is owned by the C Booz Multifamily I LLC. According to the lawsuit, Prince/MPG Music violated its eight-month lease by "painting the exterior of the [house] with purple striping, 'prince' symbol, and numbers 3121." Prince's new album, "3121," is scheduled for release tomorrow. Inside the home, among other renovations, a purple monogrammed carpet was installed in the master bedroom and plumbing and piping was added in the downstairs bedroom "for water transfer for beauty salon chairs." As part of a promotion, Prince is expected to hold a private concert at the Hollywood property--which recently was listed for sale at $11.9 million--for album purchasers who find a Wonkaesque "purple ticket" inside their CD cases. The Boozer corporation filed its lawsuit two months after hand-delivering a "three-day notice to cure or quit" to the Sierra Alta Way property (which can be seen in the aerial photo above). Responding to the lawsuit, Prince's counsel denied the owner's allegations, adding that rent was accepted for December and January "without objection." In mid-February, a month after the complaint was filed, an attorney for the Boozer company sought the suit's dismissal, a request the court approved. Since the dismissal was granted "without prejudice," the landlord has the ability to file another suit on the same claims. The Prince/MPG Music lease, which ends May 31, stipulates that all parties involved in the rental agree to sign a confidentiality agreement about the deal. It also states that the tenant may cancel the lease with 45 days notice "should the weather conditions of the Los Angeles rainy season...prohibit enjoyment of the property."

Actually, Cleveland not exercising its option was the best thing that could have EVER happened to Boozer financially, regardless of which deal he took. The Cavs did him a huge favor. Consider his health issues since, would he be making nearly what he is making now if he had hurt himself under the option year. I think not. Fuck Boozer!
