Well, he's shown he's a willing sellout before, so it wouldn't be a surprise...
Boozer not ruling out European offers
Sunday, August 10, 2008
-----------------------------------
With big-bucks, multi-year deals recently drawing NBA players like Josh Childress and Carlos Arroyo to play international ball overseas, could Carlos Boozer be drawn away by foreign interests?
Boozer, who is eligible to opt out of the final season of his six-year, $68-million contract next offseason, said he would be open to all offers - including with a foreign team.
"As a business decision, we definitely would have to look at it," said Boozer, in Beijing as a second-time Olympian. "But it doesn't mean that you're on the next flight out."
He said he would "absolutely" consider the possibility, "if my wife was down with it and the money was right."

My thoughts exactly.
He'll go where the most money is.
wow, the nba better think fast...
Well you already know he's untrustworthy. Does self serving come as a suprise?
Good. Maybe one day they can crown the true world champion even if that team plays in Italy.
Don't let the door hit you in your lazy, fat ass on your way out Boozer. See ya.
I'm guessing he'll come to a handshake agreement with the Jazz on an extension, then the next thing you know you'll see him on tv being introduced as the newest member of CSKA Moscow.
Regardless of his rep, count on hearing every single player with free agency looming telling anyone who will listen that they'll entertain offers from Europe. I'd guess that maybe 20% are serious and the rest it's just a negotiating ploy. "I'd consider playing in Europe for more money" is the new black.
Why would any NBA player ever say he would NOT consider offers from Europe? Exactly how would that benefit a player?
