So, last night Carlos Boozer officially declared that he is opting out of his contract that pays him $12,000,000/year so that he can get paid more. This is coming from a guy who missed over a year of play, had a good play off, and then had a good year and was terrible in the playoffs. I don’t care if he is a gifted basketball player, right now he’s sitting on the bench in a suit not doing anything at all and is getting paid over $140,000 per game for just sitting there.
I was a fan of this guy, but this is it, I am done with him. I hope that the people in the Utah Jazz front office let him walk and go get paid by some other team for doing nothing. I don’t care any more that Paul Milsap isn’t quite on his level, I am done with him. I wish they would just trade his lazy, always-injured butt off to some other team like right now. He isn’t playing because he says he feels some pain when he jumps. Hmmm. You’re being paid to play basketball of all things. I feel pain when I jump almost all the time, but I play basketball for free, infact I PAY OTHER PEOPLE so that I can play. I have to sympathy for a man like this, nor do I have any respect for someone who sits there and makes ridiculous amounts of money, only shows up half of the time and expects to get paid more – and in a time where people all over the country are losing their jobs. I am done with him.
As for this season, it’s a failure already. The failure started when Deron hurt his ankle on Derrick Rose’s foot in a preseason game. Now one of the best point gaurds in the world for some reason has lost his confidence. What the crap is wrong with professional athletes? They turn an ankle and their fragile egos go to pot? The Carlos gets hurt and shows that he’s exactly what the people in Cleveland think of him. Now the whole team takes a huge step back to where they were like 3 years ago. Well looks like I will have better things to do with my time than pay attention to this NBA garbage…
Can’t they clone people yet? I would like a clone of John Stockton and Karl Malone from their primes for Christmas please. Maybe Karl missed some important free throws, but at least he was on the court to take them.
