The Jazz will not rush into trading Carlos Boozer, and the forward could very well begin the season in Utah.

Boozer has commented on trade rumors, saying that he'd prefer to play for the Heat, and he has been linked to a number of teams, including the Pistons and Bulls.

David Aldridge wrote on NBA.com Thursday morning that "Utah is not going to be bullied, rushed or otherwise forced into trading Boozer anywhere."

The Jazz are listening to offers, but simply won't trade Boozer in order to appease him.
