Major irritation
Utah Jazz GM Kevin O'Connor tells reporters he's "irritated" with the incessant speculation that Carlos Boozer is talking to the Heat and will opt out of his final year with the Jazz to sign with Miami.

But O'Connor is not ready to scratch yet — i.e. ask the NBA to look into possible contract tampering with the Jazz's power forward. O'Connor says he has just too much respect for Miami president Pat Riley and GM Randy Pfund to think they'd entice Boozer:

I really have a great deal of confidence that that's not something that they would do. I really do. I really feel that way.

Really? Not to annoy O'Connor, but the Miami Herald is reporting that the Heat will begin contract talks with Shawn Marion who is being courted by several teams. One option for the Heat is to let his contract expire next summer and go for Boozer.
