Newly signed Bulls forward Carlos Boozer was formally introduced to the Chicago media Friday and spoke again of trying to bring the franchise another championship banner.
Naturally, he was peppered with questions about LeBron James' decision to leave Cleveland for the Miami Heat. Boozer had texted James beforehand, hoping to lure him to the Bulls.
"I was trying to get him to come here to Chicago and play for us, but I was happy for him," said Boozer, who also bolted the Cavaliers seven years ago to sign with the Utah Jazz. "No matter what he did, he was extremely scrutinized. If he had went back (to Cleveland), he would've taken criticism. If he'd left, like he did, he would've had criticism.
"I talked to him last night and told him I was proud of him. I wished him good luck and he wished the same for me. He had to do what was best for him and his family, and I hopefully we'll see him down the road.
"Obviously, I wish he'd come here," Boozer said. "But you can't make everybody happy, that's what I told him. You have to make yourself happy first and that's what he did."
No shit, Benedict Boozer.
Can't write this. :lol
