Utah Jazz fans would love to see Carlos Boozer stick around.

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!

Last night marked the first day of the NBA season I couldn’t be more stoked!

Kobe Bryant dropped 45 and the Lakers still lost to Houston. Nothing has changed.

Carlos Boozer puts together his trademark double-double with 32 points and 15 rebounds in a rematch of last year’s playoff series win against the Warriors.

And the Spurs started off defending their title with a win over a Oden-less Portland team.

Here’s to a fine season.
