The Nets are interested in acquiring Mayo for salary-cap reasons as they try to clear room to make a run at Orlando center Dwight Howard in the offseason. With that in mind, the Nets have offered fourth-year guard Anthony Morrow for Mayo. Morrow, a 6-5 shooting guard, will earn $4 million this year and is guaranteed for $4 million next season. Mayo is making $5.6 this season — the final year of his rookie contract. He has a $7.4 million qualifying offer for the 2012-13 campaign. The Griz have not discussed a contract extension with Mayo nor do they plan to before the Jan. 25 deadline. Memphis Commercial Appeal
Jazz suck from 3 and on the wings. CJ or trade exception should get it done and the Nets love Jazz players. CJ is Deron's buddy. Or go for Mayo!
Denver — Jazz forward Josh Howard (strained left quadriceps) won't dress for a game against the Nuggets on Sunday at the Pepsi Center.
Howard is a late scratch from Utah's lineup. He strained his quad Jan. 3 during a win over Milwaukee and had been playing with lingering pain.
The Jazz are expected to have 12 active players.
The King, the Jedi, even the Living Dead returned. Is a Return of the D-Will sequel in Salt Lake City possible? "No," Williams said in that Q&A. "That chapter in my life is over."
Yeah really. Even if he wanted to I can't see the Jazz bringing him back. The reason they got rid of him wasn't just that they thought he might leave as a free agent I'm sure.
Jazz forward Derrick Favors (sprained right ankle) has been listed as doubtful for Utah's home game Tuesday against the Los Angeles Clippers.
Favors said Sunday after a road win against Denver he plans to play versus Los Angeles.
Josh Howard (strained left quadriceps) is day-to-day and will be re-evaluated Tuesday. He said postgame Sunday he'll attempt to play against the Clippers. But Howard acknowledged his quad became very tight during pregame warmups and was kicked Saturday during a win versus New Jersey.
