    Re: Boozer says he didnt make an agreement with the Cavs

    I have no idea what booz promised or not , but i would think it would be odd for a player to promise loyalty for lest money on a team like cleveland - who is still building. Unless they add major pieces the Cavs are still a long , long shot to win a title.
    Its just the way it worked out with carlos - he was under-rated comming out of college (all he did was rebound, defend and shoot a very high percentage for the #1 college program in the nation...) Now his contract opens him up to cash in on his market value. - he should be getting his value , its just a matter of ethics and promises - I hope he didn't blatently promise to stay in cleveland, but whatever happened at this point I think he should be set free to the higher contract that he accepts.

    -the way i see it , the only promises should be the official written ones , called a "contract". I know i wouldn't be happy if my organization lost out because of million dollar assumptions

            Ive already thrown my .02 in in the other thread, but that is the EXACT thing we learned in law class last semester. Oral contract dont mean [censored]. Get it in writing, so its legal. The Cavs took a chance and even if Boozer stabbed them in the back, they have no legal bearing (ethical, yes) but in court they will loose.

            Hopefully the Cavs managment learned a lesson, and maybe its just me, but I have a hard time trusting any one who makes that much money, better yet his agent whos main interest is $$$$$$$$$

                  What doesn't make sense to me is it hasn't been the Cavaliers ripping Boozer. It's been the local media. All the Cavaliers did was issue a statement saying how disappointed they were. If Boozer said he wanted them to pick up his option of less than $1 mil, he's got to be lying. There was talk right at the end of the season of how Boozer preferred a more lucrative contract now. If he expected or wanted them to pick up the option, they would have.
                  After more than eight years on here, I finally figured out how to edit my time zone!

                        A couple of things here:

                        1. His agent resigned, quit, forced resignation, whatever you want to call it. The Agency Company sure didn't agree with it.

                        2. From what I've read, there are a lot of oral/ethical agreements reached between player/agent/team in all team sports. Boozer just dug his own hole. I'm sure he'll have trouble finding an agent to represent him that is well respected throughout the league.

                        3. You can call the team stupid, gullible, they got what they deserved, or whatever you want, but I'm guessing that a person of Boozer's character won't play with the same heart and drive that he did last year now that he's "got his".

                              Whether he did, or whether he didn't, I certainly think that we can still be as strong if we make a few signings, and/or trades. I would love to get Nazr Mohammed from the Knicks (which was talked about) because seeing him through college, he always gave 110% much like Boozer, and he is a fairly talented player. Granted, we will need more than him, and would love to see them offer Swift the full MLE, but I doubt it will happen.

                              KDRE, what do you think would best benefit the Cavs? We usually see eye-to-eye on things, and I haven't really thought too much about it yet...
