Boozer Leaning Towards Opting Out

Carlos Boozer's decision to opt out might not come until June 30th, the deadline to officially do so, but all indications are that he will test free agency.

Boozer would be opting out of $12.7 million he is set to make in 2009-10, but is said to want the security of a long-term deal. He also is believed to have received assurances from Jazz CEO Greg Miller that the team wants him back in Utah.
