Could Carlos Boozer Land in Miami?



The Chicago Bulls are considering using the amnesty provision on veteran forward Carlos Boozer according to reports.

This could be the break the Miami Heat need. If Boozer is amnestied, he would become a perfect fit in South Beach. He wanted to sign there in 2010 before the Heat opted to sign Chris Bosh. Now, Boozer might be willing to take less money, since the Bulls will still pay him his full $16.8 million salary if they amnesty him.

The Bulls may be hard pressed to find a partner for a potential sign-and-trade according to Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun Times.

A source said Wednesday that Boozer’s departure is a “done deal,” adding that Boozer’s camp already has been informed. There haven’t been any takers on a sign-and-trade for Boozer, and the Bulls also want the money to go in a different direction, whether Carmelo Anthony is in the mix or not.

Boozer does own a home in Miami. Could he be the guy that convinces LeBron James to stay in South Beach? There's no reason to expect that, although it would be a step in the right direction.

Boozer averaged 13.7 points per game and 8.3 rebounds per game last season.
