By Mark Murphy/ NBA Notes Sunday, October 22, 2006 - Updated: 01:41 AM EST Danny Ainge's search for veteran help may have hit dormancy as league personnel bosses determine what they like, what they need and what they can give up. That doesn't mean that opportunity has ended for the fall. According to a league source, the Celtics were involved in lengthy talks with Utah about power forward Carlos Boozer, before discussions cooled off in late July. The price would have been Al Jefferson, with Theo Ratliff's $11.7 million annual salary a match for Boozer's almost identical number. Boozer's contract - considered one of the worst cases of overpaying an athlete in recent memory - runs two years longer than Ratliff's deal, through the 2009-10 season. Boozer, whose name in Cleveland is muddier than that of Ricky Davis, hasn't exactly spread warmth across the league, starting with his cold-blooded departure from the Cavs. Utah owner Larry Miller wasn't much happier when his bonus baby missed 80 games to injuries over his first two years as a member of the Jazz, including the first 49 last year with a strained hamstring. Miller was particularly incensed that his big investment did not stay with the team, and instead rehabbed at his offseason home in Los Angeles. Then again, Boozer may be working his way back into Miller's good graces. Averages of 16.8 points and 9.5 rebounds over the first four exhibition games of the season can have that effect. http://celtics.bostonherald.com/celtics/view.bg?articleid=163539 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 59.41.44.238 ※ 編輯: RonnieBrewer 來自: 59.41.44.238 (10/23 01:27)
