Today will be the day for Boozer to decide on whether to come back for his final contract year with the Jazz or opt out of his contract in hopes for a better deal. Recommendation: It appears that Boozer's best option is to remain with the team. He is due to make $12,657,223 next year and if he opts out, only Detroit is reported to have both enough interest and team payroll salary cap money to sign Boozer now, and they say that he would not be their highest priority and that they weren't willing to give him the $13-15 million a year he's looking for, the Deseret News reports. |

Boozer is staying with the Jazz next season after deciding not to opt out of the final year of his contract. He is scheduled to make $12.7 million next season. Advice: Boozer has averaged 19 points and 10 rebounds since Utah signed him away from the Cleveland Cavaliers as a restricted free agent five years ago, but has only played in 276 of a possible 410 games with the Jazz. He was limited to 37 games last season, due largely to an injury that required surgery on his left knee in January. |

F Carlos Boozer's opt-out decision continues to be much awaited. Boozer has until June 30 to decide about becoming a free agent. Although he is expected to do so, many questions remain about whether Detroit has both the salary-cap space and interest to sign Boozer to a mega-money contract. Boozer has played in barely two-thirds of the Jazz's games the last five seasons as a result of injuries. |
