ESPN is reporting that Rob Pelinka has informed the NBA Player's Association that he had resigned as the agent for Carlos Boozer in light of the controversy surrounding his ex-client's signing with the Jazz.

Boozer was scheduled to play this season with the Cleveland Cavaliers for the bargain price of $695,000, but according to sources Boozer and Pelinka approached the Cavs about letting him out of the last year of his contract June 30 so he could sign a longer term contract with the team for their mid-level exception.

The Cavaliers complied, biggers offers came Boozer's way and Cleveland were left high and dry.

"I'd resign immediately if a client wanted to renege on a deal, even a verbal one," one agent told ESPN's Chad Ford last week. "I still believe integrity in this business matters. If you agree on a deal, you have to live with, no matter what else happens. I personally believe that Boozer and his agent miscalculated a bit here. But I also understand what they did. Players want security. The Cavs can offer that. It just means he has to take less money to get it now. It's a tradeoff."
