Utah’s all-star forward Carlos Boozer insists on opting out to secure a long-term deal with the Utah Jazz, but can the Jazz handle an off-season where they’d have to re-sign all of their big men? Rumor has it the Pistons will target all of the big men of the Utah Jazz and a guy like Boozer or Millsap will definitely fit in with the Pistons. I can’t say the same for Okur, who is another big man that loves to shoot the ball from the perimeter. No one knows if the Jazz will even give Boozer his long-term deal seeing as he’s struggled to remain healthy, but can they afford to just let him walk for nothing? Would Boozer even risk opting out to get that long term deal and then jumping ship?

He jumped ship with his last team to end up in Utah and if he were to do it again, he’d give the image of a player who is not loyal to a franchise and will only do whatever benefits him. Signing with the Pistons could be big for him and the Pistons, but does he want to actually leave Utah? They’ve done all they could to accommodate him and try to get him a quality team around him. Going to a team with an uncertain future wouldn’t be the smartest thing for Boozer.
