Trevor Booker is a high energy, hard-working veteran forward who had been on a couple of fringe playoff teams in the past. He’s spent time with the Washington Wizards and made some trick shots during his recent tenure with the Utah Jazz.
Booker, 28, will be taking his athletic talents back east to another big metropolitan area. He will join the Brooklyn Nets on a good contract. Yesterday, the Nets inked Jeremy Lin to a great value contract and now the Nets do the same with Booker.

Booker has never been a big name guy but he works hard and is very tough in the post. He’s slated to be the starting power forward alongside Brook Lopez and second year player Chris McCullough will be his backup.
