When Carlos Boozer left the Cavaliers, would he ever have been a restricted free agent?

Question by Noah C: When Carlos Boozer left the Cavaliers, would he ever have been a restricted free agent?
The Cavaliers had an option for his third season worth 695,000. When they did not exercise that option (to potentially give him extra money), he became an unrestricted free agent and went off to Utah for 68 million dollars.

If the Cavs HAD exercised the 695,000 dollar option, would Boozer have been a restricted or unrestricted free agent after that third year with the Cavs?

I dont know if him being a second round pick had anything to do with it, but hopefully someone can explain with their NBA knowledge.

Answer by Shy Guy
Sorry, don’t know the answer, I do know a team can sign their own free agents for any amount, but it’s pretty obvious that Cleveland’s front office was not a very good judge of talent. Imagine for a moment if you would. Boozer & Lebron on the same team.

What can the NHL do to draw in more ethnic minority fans?

Question by : What can the NHL do to draw in more ethnic minority fans?
The NFL, NBA, and MLB are all very popular with ethnic minorities, but the NHL can’t seem to draw them in. What can the NHL do to get more of them?

More minority fans = more fans = more popularity = more TV ratings = more media coverage.

Also, hockey fans embrace the smart, highly-educated fans, and Asians and Indians comprise some of the smarter people in the world, but even they are more drawn to baseball, basketball, and football.

I do actually. If you’re the captain then we should be able to contact your lawyer at all times.
Thanks.

Will the MLB expand to two more teams in the American League in the future?

Question by helper725: Will the MLB expand to two more teams in the American League in the future?
There are two more spots available in the AL to make it the same number of teams as the NL. Does anyone have information on this? I think good potential MLB cities will be Indianopolis (they are building a massive retractable roof stadium now) and Vancouver, BC (they have BC Stadium). Other cities for mention include Portland and Sacramento.

Answer by texasman75147

What is your opinion on NHL players participating in the Olympics?

Question by captain hawk: What is your opinion on NHL players participating in the Olympics?
It could affect the NHL season. For example, if Martin Brodeur sustains an injury during the Games the Devils can forget this season altogether.

Best answer:

Answer by Like I’m Telling You Who I A
He can also get injured at any point between now and the end of the season and the same result would happen (that is the NHLPA’s argument).

I’m all for participation in the Olympics if the players deem it in their best interest to go (and since several players and agents have stated that this could be a sticking point in the next CBA if the owners say no – then obviously the players really want it).

It’s also a great break in the season
– teams aren’t allowed to practice during the break (any team that conducts a formal practice over the Christmas Break/All-Star Break, or Olympic Break is subject to a fine)
– players can’t be traded during the break (there is a trade moratorium in effect from February 12th through 28th)
– the Leafs can’t lose any more games during the break, etc…
– fans outside of Vancouver won’t be ripped off buying overpriced beer and hot dogs

So it’s good for all involved.

Share your BE$T Gambling system Any Sport?

Question by tatehill2000: Share your BE$ T Gambling system Any Sport?
I Do handicap sports, Im jsut curious what other people have used to win with Sports. I will share my systems with you.

Best answer:

Answer by TheDoverPro
I handicap American football for both NFL and college games. I do pretty well and have never had a losing season!

I publish the Outlaw Line for NFL football, NFL weekly picks for all teams ATS (against the spread) and SU (straight up), and after week 5, I offer over/under picks. For NCAA football I offer ATS and SU picks for every game.

All picks are rated by the highest probability of winning, and are weighted by several factors.

All the picks on the site are absolutely FREE.

The systems I use are complex, far too much for this forum, but you can get the information here:
