Report: Carlos Boozer reaches deal to play in China
For the first time since 2002, Carlos Boozer was without an NBA home last season. Following his 2014-15 campaign with the Lakers, he was not signed by a team last season, despite having interest from the Bucks and others. Now, he’s going to continue his playing career in China, according to international basketball reporter David Pick:
Boozer is 34 and at this point in his career, probably wouldn’t command much more than a minimum deal in the NBA, or any promise of extended playing time. In China, he can earn more money and have a more prominent role on a team. This is a win-win for him.

So, it's basically the death knell of his career?
That's pretty sad, he seemed like a top tier player back in his Utah days.
Well, he can always back out of his agreement and go somewhere else if he's offered more money... _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

Thats odd... seems like he'd still be able to find an NBA team if he wanted one. Maybe he wants a change. Ankywhoo, hope it works out well for him. I like Booze.
