Recently Carlos Boozer announced that he will opt out of his contract with the Utah Jazz at the end of the season. If Boozer opts out he will become an unrestricted free agent and will essentially sign with the team that offers him the most money. If he opts out the Jazz will be left with nothing in return. This leaves us with the question, what should the Jazz do with Boozer? They have two options.
The first option would be to trade him now before he can opt out so they can actually get someone in return for him. I am leaning towards this option.
The second option would be to let him opt out and hope that they can resign him. This is very risky. This also isn't ideal because the Jazz are near the salary cap imposed by the NBA and if they go over the salary cap they will have to a dollar for dollar tax to the league for every dollar that they go over the cap. They really can't afford to offer him more money. Also, the Jazz need to decide if they want to keep Paul Millsap who also becomes a free agent at the end of the season. If they want to keep Millsap they will need to offer him more money, which essentially forces the Jazz to decide between Boozer or Millsap.
What should the Jazz do?
