Carlos Boozer was the last player to feel the wrath of Cleveland's fan after departing in free agency to sign with the Jazz in 2004, but his experience will likely be insignificant in comparison to what LeBron James endures in his return.
"It will be tough for him," Boozer said after Thursday afternoon's practice. "As a personal friend of his, I know it's going to be a tough moment because he had a lot of great memories there. I just wish him the best of luck. I know it's kind of a place he embraces because he built so much there.
"Coming from there, being from there, giving everything he had for those seven, eight years he was there, I know it will be emotional for him."
