For conduct in Game 5 of the 4th quarter vs. the Wizards detrimental to the Bulls, the NBA and to humanity in general. That is all. |

Like usual he'd rather ignore defending anything, in this case his performance. |

He wanted nothing to do with getting the ball last night in the 4th quarter. And blocking out Gortat? Come on now! |

That's why he doesn't play in the 4th quarter. I hate him as a basketball player. |

Getting LeBron and Boozer in back to back years should have set them up to be great. |

boozer is not the reason this team lost.... this team cant score points. No one on this current active roster can generate his own shot consistently.... and in the playoffs when ALL TEAMS actually give 100% effort every night... the bulls got exposed for the mediocre team they truly are right now. Amnesty Boozer and sign me up for Carmelo...... not that I think that is the ultimate solution (there really isnt any quick fix to make this team title worthy), but at least the team would be able to score with derrick and carmelo and would be watchable. |

Not to pick on you BP, but this is what many of us have been saying since 2011. This is also why I disagreed with FF on this team's readiness to win even with a healthy Rose and, before he was traded Deng. Not that I would apply the same standards to this team - it was obvious after suffering a catastrophic injury that they were going nowhere, but in general they needed much more scoring. |

Boozer was supposed to provide that offense. In the end Taj was better offensively and defensively. |

Kinda contradict yourself there billy. The reason they dont have that scorer is Boozer takes up the money |

Not Boozer's fault they gave him the dough. He doesn't *seem* like a total dog, I don't know. He just sucks. |

He can't double his salary. He's under contract for next season. It's just a matter of where he will play and how much the new team will pick up. I believe there is an amnesty waiver claim system. I doubt anyone is going to claim him for his full salary. So that means team will have to make bids. He seems like a good fit in Miami, so I'm sure they will bid what they can afford under the cap. Maybe one of our NBA experts can confirm the process. Too bad KS isn't here. |

The amnesty allows any team with cap space available to bid how much per year they would be willing to pay for the player's contract. The team who bids the highest, acquires the player for the remainder of his deal (so 1 year for Boozer). The Bulls are on the hook for the remainder of Boozer's salary owed next season, but it doesn't count toward the cap for Chicago. I think that's pretty much how it works. |

That's exactly how it works I think that's pretty much how it works. |

Yep, and probably the full 16.8M. http://www.hoopsrumors.com/2014/04/like ... oozer.html Full Story Bulls Likely To Attempt To Trade Carlos Boozer April 30 at 8:47am CDT By Chuck Myron Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf opposes the idea of using the amnesty provision to remove Carlos Boozer from the team’s books, as Marc Stein of ESPN.com hears, adding that sources tell him that Chicago will make a strong push to trade Boozer instead. Boozer is set to enter the final year of his contract next season, but his $16.8MM salary and his growing anger at coach Tom Thibodeau seem to make him a poor fit for the Bulls, who have their eyes set on a free agent prize this summer. The Knicks are “undeniably nervous” about the chances that Carmelo Anthony will sign with the team this summer, Stein writes. The ESPN.com scribe echoes last week’s report from Sean Deveney of The Sporting News that put the Bulls at the front of the list of Anthony’s preferred suitors. Chicago would have to move a significant amount of salary off its payroll to make a competitive offer to Anthony, since the Bulls’ commitments for 2014/15 already exceed even the new, higher salary cap projection for next season. Amnestying Boozer would be the simplest way to wipe a hefty chunk of money off Chicago’s cap figure, but unless a team claims him off waivers, Reinsdorf would still have to pay Boozer his salary, even though it wouldn’t count toward the cap. That’s why Deveney says there’s never been a question that the Bulls would prefer to trade Boozer (Twitter link). The amnesty period runs through July 16th, giving the Bulls ample time to find a trade partner before the option of circling back and amnestying Boozer anyway disappears. Still, it will probably be difficult to find a team willing to make a trade that would give Chicago cap flexibility in return for a 32-year-old Boozer who rarely played in the fourth quarter this season, particularly given his inflated salary. He may have some value as an expiring contract, but any team that acquires him via trade would be unable to amnesty him. A sign-and-trade with the Knicks involving ‘Melo is one possibility, but Knicks president Phil Jackson might be reluctant to play along and accommodate Chicago’s poaching of New York’s star. If the Bulls do amnesty Boozer, Stein suggests there’s a chance that agent Rob Pelinka, the rep for Boozer as well as Kobe Bryant, will encourage the Lakers to submit an amnesty waiver claim. That would almost certainly be a partial waiver claim if it were to happen, meaning the Lakers would pay a portion of Boozer’s salary while Reinsdorf would be on the hook for the rest. Stein points to Chicago’s likely pursuit of Pau Gasol this summer, and perhaps there’s a sign-and-trade possibility to be had involving Gasol and Boozer, though that’s just my speculation. |

Nick Friedell @NickFriedell 12m Boozer rolls out of the Berto Center without comment. P.S. he also grinned 16.8M times... |

Post subject: | Re: Adam Silver Bans Carlos Boozer FOR LIFE |
im no NBA cap guru, but to trade boozer the bulls would have to take on a lot of bad contracts in return thus thwarting the melo pursuit... right? it looks like there is some overlap between the start of free-agency and the amnesty deadline... so technically couldnt the bulls get a sign and trade done with the knicks and then amenesty boozer? melo is a pipe dream but its the only realistic shot at having a team that is feasibly a title contender... |
