In the Ringer's "redraftables" (since there's no other content to watch), Boozer went 3rd in the 2002 re-draft.

I love how the story grows with each telling.
#teamboozer
The Cavaliers had an option year remaining on Boozer's contract
at the bargain-basement price of $700,000. But Boozer averaged 15.5
points and 11.4 rebounds last season. Acknowledging he was worth
way more than that, Cavs general manager Jim Paxson supposedly
shook hands with Boozer on a deal in which the team would forgo the
option and let Boozer become a restricted free agent. In exchange,
Boozer would sign with Cleveland for $41 million over six years.
Shortly afterward, however, the Jazz stepped in with an offer
worth $27 million more, one the Cavs couldn't afford to match.
Boozer accepted that deal and the debate began: Did Paxson get
bamboozled, and if so, was he at fault for taking the player's
word? Did Boozer act with malice by breaking his promise? And was
there a promise made to begin with?
"There was no commitment, no handshake," Boozer insisted this
week, stating correctly that it would have been illegal under the
collective bargaining agreement. "I'm a man of my word, and the
only commitment I gave was to Utah, and I kept that commitment."

By diehard Go To PostEveryone likes to forget that a handshake deal is illegal and if proof would have cost the Cavs lots more than Boozer.Nobody forgets that.. but letting him out of his team option is basically proof enough, I mean, has there even been another case where a team has let a player they believed was going to be an all-star out of their rookie contract?
By blackace Go To PostNobody forgets that.. but letting him out of his team option is basically proof enough, I mean, has there even been another case where a team has let a player they believed was going to be an all-star out of their rookie contract?OKC traded their 21 year old 6th man of the year
By /sy Go To PostOKC traded their 21 year old 6th man of the yearthey extended him his 3rd and 4th year but traded him because they did not want to pay him in his 5th, which means they got some value for him.
Boozer being a 2nd round pick means that his contract was different, and he had a 2 year with a strange team option that allowed the team to keep him on his current salary of like 700k or allow him to become a RFA.
Granted they could had matched Utah's offer... but it seems like they were letting him out of his 700k contract early so he could get a bump in salary but he went to get maximum money. Not saying he was wrong just saying I cannot think of another case like this at all..
It was for money, which they used for the summer league team fee ... and the leftover change from that they bought a copy machine.
It would had been better if the 76ers just sent them a used copy machine..

are you scared about the trades Morey is thinking of during the hiatus?
The Ringer has Killian Hayes as their top prospect in the draft. As far as I can tell, he can't dribble with his right hand, so that's good. This draft is good.
are they saying he should be the number 1 pick? Or has the highest ceiling? Both are wrong but they are different sentiments
By blackace Go To Postare they saying he should be the number 1 pick? Or has the highest ceiling? Both are wrong but they are different sentimentsThat he should go no. 1. I haven't even seen a mock with Hayes going in the top-5.
By rodeoclown Go To PostThat he should go no. 1. I haven't even seen a mock with Hayes going in the top-5.😂😂😂
he hovering around 9 in most mocks I've seen
By blackace Go To Post😂😂😂O'Connor said that he won't be putting a lot of stock on what others are saying/mock drafts.
he hovering around 9 in most mocks I've seen
His reasoning being that every year he looks back and regrets going with the general consensus.
Shit, if a dude is 9 or 10 in the general consensus... he almost for sure won't be 1st
The only time I have seen that happen was 2013, with Bennett.

By blackace Go To PostShit, if a dude is 9 or 10 in the general consensus… he almost for sure won't be 1stOh I agree, he is basically doing it so in a couple years he can look back and say that he maybe was right about some players.
The only time I have seen that happen was 2013, with Bennett.
A lot of the Knicks blogosphere rank Killian very highly, not number one but they think he's the best pg prospect after Lamelo. I have a feeling the actual draft is gonna be a lot different from the mock drafts out there.
I post on a warriors forum where a media guy sometimes posts as well. the media guy told us a story about stephen jackson while was on the warriors:
Stephen would have 3 phones with him at all times. an "A," "B," and "C," phone. Each phone corresponded to women he had in each city - "A" being women who needed to be taken out and wanted to be shown off, while "C" ladies were DTF at any time. When he landed in a city, he wouldn't always reach out to the "A" phone ladies if he wasn't feeling like taking em out to expensive dinner and buying them stuff. he would holler at the "B" or "C" phone just to smash and dash since they weren't expecting shit. lol
