But not everyone in life get what they want. Just ask Cleveland.

Carlos Boozer has hinted at Team USA camp that he will be signing a contract with the Jazz next season when he is eligible. His Jazz and fellow Olympian teammate Deron Williams recently signed a $70 million contract with the Jazz, now everyone is wondering if Boozer will jump ship like he did in Cleveland or head to warmer climates. Miami?

Here is what Boozer has said:

“He’s going to be smiling for the next four years” because of his new contract worth up to $70 million, Boozer said. “And we will, too, because we’ll have him on our side.”

“We”, Carlos? As in you and the Jazz?

“We’ve been talking about our combination . . . for two years already,” Boozer added, “so we already have our thing lined up.”

There is that “we” word again.

This man likes to play with people’s emotions. Just spit it out already!

Rumors are swirling and there is chatter out there that when the NBA free agency period begins tomorrow at midnight, the Washington Wizards are ready to make Gilbert Arenas a rich man. A very rich man.

The Wizards are expected to make Arenas an offer that is around six years, and valued at or above $100 million. Not too shabby. The deal would obviously make Arenas one of the top paid players in the NBA. Which he definately deserves…when healthy. That is the only knock on the All-Star point guard. He’s had two knee surgeries in the past year and that definitely throws up a red flag on anybody looking into pulling in top dollar.

After opting out of the final year of his contract, Arenas was quoted saying, “I have a number in mind, a number I feel I’m worth and we’ll just have to see what they come with.”

For his sake, lets hope the Wizards at least offer him more than $12.8 million a year.

That’s how much the final year of his contract was worth.

Wow, it takes a very greedy man to walk away from guaranteed millions. Good luck Gilbert.

I heard on the radio today that Roger Clemens is in need of some money to pay off his legal fees, so he had to let go of his Bentley.   He sold it to Bret Michaels from The Rock of Love on VH1.  He needs to sell more of his “toys” & other luxuries to pay off the fees.  Ouch.

But diving deeper into the possibility, a offense with Darren McFadden, Jamarcus Russell and Owens sounds pretty enticing. And why is this rumor coming up now? Well, it’s just a theory by Cam Inman, but with Owens’ contract expiring after this season and since the Dallas Cowboys didn’t throw a contract extension at him this offseason (at least not yet), then why not go to the Raiders who are looking for star receiver. Sure, they picked up Javon Walker, but the guy isn’t a Terrell Owens and with his recent injuries, he’s not as reliable as the sculpted Owens.

It’s doubtful, yet still a possibility, that Owens will end up in a silver different uniform. I actually would hope he does go to Oakland and away from the Cowboys. I’m a big Philadelphia Eagles fan and nothing would make me more happy than to see him on a losing team and NOT competing against the Eagles. The Raiders are going to need a lot more than a loud mouthed receiver to bring them out of the cellar.

Did “Dancing with the Stars” champion Helio Castroneves, 32, come away with the trophy and his dancing partner/coach Julianne Hough?

That is the rumor floating around after the race car driver announced that he broke off the engagement to his fiance and girlfriend of 6-years Aliette Vazquez, who is of the same age.

Nothing is confirmed and he hasn’t admitted to the romance, but he and Hough, 19, have been spotted getting close and personal around town in Beverly Hills shopping together.

I personally don’t see what the problem is. At least he and Vasquez didn’t get married and fall into a messy divorce. That could have cost him a lot of money.

Let’s look at the bright side of things people!?

Unless you were in a cave, then you must have seen the slap that was heard around the world.

Yes, I’m talking about the pimp slap Kid Rock gave to Tommy Lee at the MTV Awards.

Las Vegas promoters Bob Arum and Jeff Beacher didn’t see this as an act of violence, rather they saw an instant money making opportunity and perhaps a must-see-TV event. The two have been trying to get the former Pam Anderson flames to jump in the ring and duke it out on pay-per-view TV. The prize has so far reached $5 million for the winner.

If this fight were to take place, I’d have to go with Kid Rock. But not from a knockout. Something tells me that Tommy Lee would fight dirty and pull a Mike Tyson and start biting to get disqualified.

Rumor has it that Miami Heat superstar Dwayne Wade is going to divorce from Siohvaughn, his wife of 5 years and high school sweetheart. This is all news to me because of the clean image and perfect life that Mr. Wade portrayed away from the field, but I guess with all the temptation that Miami offers, even Mr. Squeaky Clean couldn’t resist. It’s been said that Wade has even been linked to Hollywood beauty Gabrielle Union (below).

If this rumor is proven to be true, the Miami Heat are going to include two of the the NBA’s most eligible bachelors with Shaquille O’Neal recently filing for divorce as well. But the difference between the two is that Shaq might have quite a bit more dough in the bank because of his prenup. As for Wade, he married his wife while they were in college, so I’m sure there wasn’t any prenuptial agreement, which could mean a good pay day for her when his new contract kicks in this year, estimated at $15 million a year from a previous $3.5 million.

Ouch. That’s gonna leave a mark.

I hope Clemens changes his mind from now until then. With all the pitching injuries for the Yankees this year, we need Clemens healthy. And I swear if he even has a brush with that Madden Curse, I’m going to pummel Madden.

Just kidding.

But seriously.
