I think Boozer and his agent screwed the Cavs big time. And as far as him getting revenge and good for him, I don't think two wrongs make a right (although two lefts do...). Anyway, Boozer made it harder for his fellow players. What team is going to give a break to a player like the Cavs did now? Especially a player with the same agent? No, the Cavs let him out of a weak contact, but one Boozer AGREED TO, because they thought he deserved it. The Cavs could have said 'No', made him play this year for 700k and called it a day. But they didn't. They verbally agreed to tear up the contrcat IF he would resign with them. He said he would. Then he didn't.

I do agree that we haven't heard Boozers side, but the delay in any word from his camp makes me suspicious. I think he knows he screwed them and doesn't want to to anymore harm. He's just laying low.

Now, saying that... it was TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS! Hell, I'd screw over my mother for that kinda money.

And something else to think about... Boozer kinda screwed himself. He left agruably the best player in basketball for the next 10 years (LeBron btw) to sign with a mediocre team in the West. That extra 20mil ain't gonna buy him a ring. The Cavs were poised to strike in the next 2-3 years and be dominant. On that level, I think he'll regret his decision.
