Carlos Boozer will pursue signing with a foreign team if the NBA season does not start on time.

"I think as players we have to look at this lockout as an unfortunate challenge, but one that can create other unique and positive opportunities," he said. "When I was part of Team USA that won Olympic Gold in Beijing, that experience changed my life in incredible ways.

"If the NBA season gets delayed or postponed, I plan on using those months to experience something similar to what I did in the summer of 2008. That's why, if the lockout continues, I definitely plan on playing overseas."

Boozer didn't reveal if he has a particular country in mind, but a source says the reference to Beijing reflects a desire to play in China.
