Boozer Says Miami Rumors Are Just Talk

Utah forward Carlos Boozer says that rumors involving him and the Miami Heat are just talk, according to The Deseret News.

Next season Boozer can opt out of the final year of his current contract with the Jazz and negotiate a potential six-year deal worth an estimated to $136 million.

Boozer responded teasingly to talk about the Heat, "I live in Miami — I'm going there no matter what I do; that's home for me. That's just talk — I've been talked about in rumors my whole career."

On Monday the Jazz can start negotiations with point guard Deron Williams on a contract extension, according to The Salt Lake Tribune.

From July 1 to Oct. 31, Utah has an exclusive window to negotiate an extension of Deron's rookie contract. Williams could sign for as long as five years and as much as approximately $90 million.

"I talked to Kevin about that the other day, and he definitely knows it's a high priority to get it done as soon as possible, as soon as we can," Williams said. "I'm just going to leave that in his hands and my agent's hands and, hopefully, everything works out."
