[quote]this year's Jazz squad should be able to get that group onto the court much more often[/quote]
My guess is less. I see Hill and Mack getting the most minutes after the big 3. Then the bench guys which to me should include Hood.

[QUOTE]Former Utah Jazz assistant coach [URL="http://www.nba.com/2016/news/07/12/utah-jazz-phil-johnson-coaching-award/"]Phil Johnson, one of the most impactful and successful assistant coaches in NBA history, is the recipient of the inaugural Tex Winter Assistant Coach Lifetime Impact Award,[/URL] the National Basketball Coaches Association announced today. Johnson was presented with the award during the Jazz game vs. Portland today at the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas. [/QUOTE]
Jerry got all the credit but I'm sure Phil had as mcuh to do with things as anyone.

[QUOTE]The Jazz would certainly keep him, but if Gobert went and signed an offer sheet on the market, he could get a contract favorable in years. Indeed, Hayward's offer sheet that he signed with the Charlotte Hornets featured the early out that will make him an unrestricted free agent following this season.[/QUOTE]
Can't let that happen. He has to be signed to the 5 year max with no outs. He is the guy you should be building around. He is the number 1 priority even more than their so called 2 best players.

[QUOTE]He doesn't have to go shopping for a team this summer, since the Jazz guaranteed the final year of his contract, something that was in question heading into free agency.[/QUOTE]
There was never a question. He was too good and his contract too small. No brainer.
[QUOTE]with the Jazz trading for George Hill and Dante Exum closing in on his return from knee surgery, there were questions about whether Mack would be back in the fold on opening night.[/QUOTE]
a combo guard who plays a different game than Shelvin and a prospect who has proven little. Again there was no question.
[QUOTE]That leaves Mack looking at the the possibility of dropping from starter to the third point guard.[/QUOTE]
Just can't see it. He was too good for them last year. No one can run the team better other than maybe Neto if he gets the chance.
[QUOTE]The fact that he can play both backcourt positions is a plus, as well.[/QUOTE]
I doubt he'll be playing the 2. They played him with Neto and Burke last year but they have too many guys to put him at the 2 I'd guess.

[quote]Butterfield played in Lithuania last season but doesn’t have any firm plans for the upcoming season.
“We’re just kind of seeing how this summer league goes,” he said, referring to his agent. “We’ll gather all the information and see what we’re going to do after that.”

He'd make sense for the D-league team as a local. Not sure he has an NBA game.
