Is Morey engaging Chicago in a stare down contest for Carloid Boozer?

I don't like guys who spray paint their domes to cover up their baldness. These types of people can't be trusted.

 

Guess Chicago won that stare down. :grin:

 

LOL

Basketballhollic silly theory fantasy camp.

 

I hope we put in a $3 - $5MM bid for him despite the fact that I hate his guts since the Jazz days.

<h2><b>Bulls use amnesty provision on Carlos Boozer</b></h2>July 15, 2014, 4:00 pm - csnchicago.com


As expected, the Bulls exercised the amnesty provision on Carlos Boozer, the team announced Tuesday, a day before the league's deadline.

Boozer is owed $16.8 million in the final year of the five-year contract he signed in 2010 and after amnestying him, as well as waiving the non-guaranteed contracts of veterans Lou Amundson, Ronnie Brewer and Mike James, the Bulls are expected to soon finalize and announce the free-agent signings of Kirk Hinrich, Pau Gasol and Nikola Mirotic.

“Carlos epitomized professionalism in everything he did for the Bulls both on the court, and in the community, during his time here in Chicago,” said Chicago Bulls General Manager Gar Forman in a press release. “Over the last four seasons, Carlos’ productivity helped elevate our team to another level. I have nothing but respect for Carlos, and certainly wish him the best as he moves forward.”

Teams under the salary cap can bid on Boozer's services and the Bulls will have to pay the balance of the power forward's salary, though it doesn't affect their salary cap.

Amongst the teams expected to bid on Boozer are the Lakers, Suns and Magic, according to a league source, and if he clears waivers, more teams, like the Rockets and Heat, could show interest.

Boozer, 32, averaged 13.7 points and 8.3 rebounds in 28.2 minutes per game last season, the lowest numbers since his rookie campaign in Cleveland, but remains a productive player and is viewed by many observers as a piece that could greatly enhance another team.

 

We


are


not


getting


boozer.


or maybe we are?

 

Randolph was cut today as well...

 

please no boozer.. please or i will cancel my season tickets

 

I'll take them off your hands lol

 

The OP joptmc is a joke, he posts one inane theory/proposal after another and even claims insider knowledge, yet he also not only happens to be wrong the vast majority of the time, but incoherent and repetitive.

 

I think I'd rather have Boozer starting at pf over TJ or DMo... 1 yr contract, tradeable at deadline, playing for his next contract.... yeh, if I was Les or DM, I'd throw 5M at this point....

 

I hate him but I kinda want us to bid

 

Is it true that Boozer and Howard are real good friends???!!!

 

Boozer would be a solid vet PF for us. Can hit the 12-15 ft jumper (give Howard space and help spread the floor), be very good in a pick and roll (pop and shoot), and he is a decent rebounder. We just couldn't lean on him in the playoffs against taller defenders in the paint. Good thing for us we wouldn't have to do that

 

No no no no no no no no no no no...

I don't think I could stomach seeing this guy in a Rockets uniform.

 

Boozer will be nice.

 

From what I have been hearing only teams under the cap can bid. After he clears he can go where he pleases.

What I wonder is how soon can you trade a player you claim via amnesty.

In theory a team who does not want him but is under the cap could claim him off waivers and flip him for a asset of some kind.

 

why not? this would be a cap flexability move

 

If you win an amnesty bid you have to keep the player until following years July 1'
