Last season Boozer almost got traded but, it probably won’t be long before “The Booze” finally goes the way of Strong Beer in Utah anyway.
“When franchise owner Larry H. Miller spoke last week on the Jazz-partnered radio station KFNZ-AM 1320, he dropped a curious trade-talk nugget. Miller said that after now-injured All-Star power forward Carlos Boozer learned his young son Carmani had been diagnosed with life-threatening sickle cell anemia, he requested to be dealt somewhere closer to where the child was being treated in the family’s offseason home of Miami — an area much more conducive to recovery than higher-altitude Utah. As it turned out, though, Boozer spent an entire season mostly separated from his family while the boy was undergoing treatment in South Florida.”
