[QUOTE]Heading into next season, he can make an immediate contribution off the bench. Both as an offensive spark who can get hot and create shots for himself and others, and as a defensive specialist.[/QUOTE]

I say he starts with the Stars and learns the sets and can help them later in the year

[QUOTE]However, even with all of his skills, he was not an effective player this last season. He struggled to get going with inconsistent playing time, and when he did get the chance to play, he settled for threes (48 percent of all his shots), and seemed timid.[/QUOTE]

timid Lyles was not! That was the heart of the problem

[QUOTE]If Hill stays, Mitchell can still have a role assuming Burks

[QUOTE]The Jazz may have succeeded in duplicating Carlos Boozer with Al Jefferson in 2010, but that's hardly going to happen with Hayward. And his influence would be lost.[/QUOTE]

I'm not a big Boozer fan but come on! It all fell apart after that

I imagine ideally they'd like to se an Exum/Mitchell starting back court someday

[QUOTE]Exum, Lindsey noted, will even make an appearance during the upcoming Utah Jazz summer league, which runs July 3-6 at the Huntsman Center. That's news considering Exum had told reporters in May that he wasn't going to participate. Seeing him paired up with Mitchell in the backcourt would be a fun summer surprise for Jazz fans. (By the way, Lindsey said Exum is not likely to participate in the Las Vegas summer league.)[/QUOTE]

I see him on a two way which will limit how much he can help the Jazz. Maybe by the end of the year if they are lucky

Hopefully they'll be a lot more competitive. Their picks, Wallace and Bolomboy with a new coach.

Chris Vivlamore: I was told to expect six, maybe eight, teams to pursue Paul Millsap in free agency.

[QUOTE]Jeff Goodman: Clippers like the upside of Sam Dekker, the toughness of Patrick Beverly and the short-term contracts of both Beverly and Lou Williams. Source said Clippers will go after a big wing in free agency, and try and retain Blake Griffin.

Maybe can get Beverley from Clipps now?

Gobert and Dante Exum have also spoken to him personally to congratulate and welcome him to the Jazz.[/QUOTE]

That's nice of Dante considering he may take your job
