Get in line, Devin: ‘We need more of an athlete, someone who can rebound and block shots, someone who can complement Brook really nicely. Regarding Boozer, Roberts pointed out that Boozer looks like he’ll choose between Detroit and New Jersey…’I definitely hope he picks New Jersey. I think he fits well in us, he’s a 4 man who obviously can complement Brook real well. He can run the screen and roll. He’s a rebounder that we need and he can also space the floor as well. I’ve kind of played with Boozer a couple of times over the summer so I know what he’s capable of doing obviously, going…playing against him. He’s a talented player so he fits right with what we do.’ Asked if he is willing to recruit the Jazz big man, Harris laughed and answered…’I’ll do what needs to be done.’”

NBA Rumors: Carlos Boozer Back in Cleveland?

By now, you have likely seen Brian Windhorst’s list of three potential free agent additions for the Cavaliers.  We touched on Charlie Villanueva last week.  We’ve discussed Jason Kidd ad nauseum. But the third name, Carlos Boozer, is one that may definitely raise a few eyebrows. Here are Brian’s thoughts: Boozer and James still have a good relationship and [...]

Monson: Utah Jazz should let Boozer walk

Carlos Boozer said the other day, as far as his opting out goes, he just "wants to be happy." He also said he "put the ball in [the Jazz's] court" and told them he "wants to be there .

Careful, Jazz Players. Jerry Sloan Is Monitoring Your Facebook Status Updates.

Grumpy old man Jerry Sloan and the Jazz brass are reportedly unhappy with little-used backup Kyrylo Fesenko, which isn't terribly surprising given that Jerry Sloan hasn't been happy since the Eisenhower Administration. What's surprising is the reason: Facebook status updates. Fesenko, whose team option is up this offseason, recently had an exit interview with Sloan and general manager...

The OTHER Jazz power forward

Rumors are abound that the Pistons have now set their sight’s not on Carlos Boozer, but his back-up Paul Milsap.  Personally I like that a lot better.  They’re both about the same size, but Milsap is almost four years younger, plus he’s not got the injury or loyalty issues.  Think Jason Maxiell +2 inches with [...]

Okur II?

Josh Heytvelt could be the next Mehmet Okur. And I said it in a May 29th post. But apparently the comparison wasn’t as fabulously original as I thought. Because in a recent interview Joey Whalen of Draft Express had with Josh, the 6′11 sweet shooter said he has been told he plays like Brad Miller and, you guessed it, [...]

A Nets Arena on the Cheap

There's a guilty pleasure in an artistic review that is wholly unrestrained in its negativity. Unfortunately for the New Jersey Nets, their latest Brooklyn arena design is feeling that very sting. Remember when the Nets were telling everyone they were going to play in a Frank Gehry building that may be the most beautiful arena in the world? Difficult times call for difficult...

Boozer vs. the Pistons

   There's a lot of conjecture about just how interested the Detroit Pistons might or might not be in Carlos Boozer, with some in the Jazz organization convinced the Pistons are inclined to spend their free-agent dollars elsewhere.    Based on what the Pistons have seen firsthand out of Boozer, I'd have to believe they are interested.  ...

The Fesenko question

   A week from today, the Jazz will arrive at the June 15 deadline to exercise an $870,000 option to bring back Kyrylo Fesenko for next season. As of Friday, they had made no decision, and Fesenko's agent, Stu Lash, said he's in no hurry to hear one way or another.    For a player who has appeared in only 30 games in two seasons with the Jazz...

Jerry Sloan Will Read Your Facebook Page

He may not be familiar with Twitter yet, but Sloan knows all about his players’ FB updates: “According to a league source, though, Kyrylo Fesenko’s exit interview with the Jazz did not go well. He apparently was asked by general manager Kevin O’Connor and Jerry Sloan to explain some of the updates on his Facebook page. There are those more Facebook savvy than...

David Lee, sign and trade anyone?

Enter power forward option #3, David Lee.  I like Lee.  He’s rugged post player in the same mold as Paul Millsap.  Just another scenario to mull over.  One thing that’s clear though is that Joe is going to get someone of note and he’s pretty much in the free agent driver’s seat unless, as Dave [...]

Hater Tuesday Special: Hitler reacts to Orlando loss in game two.

This pretty much speaks for itself. Although I’m sure that Hitler would probably be more of a Utah Jazz fan. Turman
