All throughout the 2008-09 NBA season it was a forgone conclusion that Carlos Boozer would opt out of his contract. It  wasn’t just speculation. Not only did the Jazz front office say it, but Boozer said he’d opt out a numerous of times. However, when the time came to do so, Carlos Boozer decided not to put himself on the market this season as he did not opt out of his contract. By doing so, Boozer caused a domino-effect as every team in the league who had a plan this free agency depending on Boozer opting out had to resort to their Plan B. No problem for those teams though. They have to be prepared that a certain player will not be available during free agency. However, the Jazz on the other hand ended up being dealt a whole new problem. Boozer opting out was suppose to create room under the luxury tax for the franchise to re-sign Paul Millsap with no problems. Now, in order for the Jazz to obtain their power forward, a loan of $10.3 Million would have to be taken out in order for them to match the offersheet extended to Millsap from the Portland Trailblazers. The Blazers decided to frontload his contract knowing that it would create all types of problems for the Jazz to be able to match it.
