Miami May Not Be So Hot On Boozer

An NBA source said the Heat might not be as interested as some thought in Utah forward Carlos Boozer this summer because of his injury woes and the allure of the 2010 free agent market. Boozer lives in Miami during the offseason and can opt out of his contract this summer. But by passing on Boozer, Miami would not only be able to re-sign Dwyane Wade next year but could try to pair him with one of the elite players in the 2010 free agent class. Keep in mind that Wade and LeBron James - the marquee free agent next year - are close friends who have openly talked about playing together. Wade, plus heralded rookie forward Michael Beasley and a marquee 2010 free agent (i.e. James, Chris Bosh, Dirk Nowitzki, Amare Stoudemire, Yao Ming) could make the Heat title contenders again. The source added that struggling Sacramento is having a "fire sale" and is open to trading everyone but star guard Kevin Martin. Source: The Boston Globe
