Off-season

Shawn Marion would be the only piece the Mavs could give up? No one is taking Haywood.

Vince Carter. He can still shoot.

Vince Carter. He can still shoot.

He'd be terrible for the Jazz, he probably wouldn't want to be there and would pout / half ass it the entire time.

More change could soon arrive for Utah. The Tribune reported last weekend the Jazz are eyeing a wing scorer during free agency, and Utah still has its full $5 million mid-level exception to spend. After news of the planned Harris trade surfaced Monday, The Tribune learned Utah will remain very active on the trade market and in the attempt to sign players. With everything from sign-and-trade possibilities to multiple expiring contracts in hand, the Jazz are aggressively attempting to improve without overspending during free agency.

Good to hear. Still work to be done!

One name mentioned by one league source Monday was former Utah Jazz forward Andrei Kirilenko. After playing last season is his native Russia, Kirilenko has expressed an interest in returning to the NBA and it was long thought he would be looking at Brooklyn as a landing spot. But with the Nets having locked up Gerald Wallace and, apparently, Joe Johnson to go along with current centre Brook Lopez and emerging young guard MarShon Brooks, there would seem to be no room for Kirilenko, the kind of multi-positional big man Colangelo loves.

Anthony Davis is reportedly the latest player to suffer an injury that will keep him out of the London Olympics, seemingly opening the possibility that the Jazz's Derrick Favors could be selected to replace him on the 12-man roster for Team USA as it seeks to defend its gold medal. However, a close with direct knowledge of the situation told The Salt Lake Tribune that it's

Brian T. Smith: Source says, as of right now, it's very unlikely Derrick Favors or DeMarcus Cousins are suddenly added to Team USA to replace Anthony Davis. Twitter

Brian T. Smith: Jazz are unlikely to use full MLE on a single player. More likely to split it, like they did last year. Twitter

#UtahJazz's #NBA Summer League roster includes: Blake Ahearn, Alec Burks, DeMarre Carroll, Enes Kanter, Kevin Murphy, Kyle Weaver, Stephen Graham, Cedric Simmons, John Millsap, Michael Stockton. Sulia

Looks like Weaver put up some good numbers in Eurocup whatever that is. With a German team I think? Graham played well in the D-league even hitting 3's now! They might have a shot depending on how things go with FA's. Jazz still need another veteran wing I'd think. Why not Elijiah Millsap instead of John? He's actually a decent looking prospect.

Simmons looks like he's improved playing in Spain. Anyone remember if he did anything last time he was on the summer league roster a couple years ago? He might have a shot especially if Evans is gone.


Stockton and Ahearn are the best pg prospects they could come up with?

Michael any relation to John?

It;s his son. He's been playing in German second division I believe. Played in SLC at Westminster College. Got another son that is the back-up pg at Gonzaga.

Looks like Gaffney has some skills. Undersized. Mike Green is a pg. Can't shoot. Looks like he gets to the line. Knox is undrafted. Not much of a prospect it looks like. Salah Mejri is a big skinny Tunisian. Sims sounds like a skilled big man. Undrafted. Looks like Washington played in Spain not too impressively.

What happened to Trey Johnson? He sounded interesting. A combo guard with wing size.
