Carlos Boozer opts to stay with the Utah Jazz….for now
27-year old power forward Carlos Boozer exercised a option in his contract for the 2009-2010 NBA season. He played in 37 games (all starts) for the Jazz last season and he averaged 32.4 minutes, 16.2 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.0 steal per game. The Jazz are actively trying to move Carlos Boozer so that they can keep Paul Millsap who has received a huge offer from the rival Portland Trailblazers. Boozer has played in five seasons with the Jazz covering 276 games (262 starts) in which he averaged 34.0 minutes, 19.2 points, 10.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.0 steal per game. The Jazz will probably be better off if they can move Boozer and retain Millsap who is a emerging star.
