Big Changes In Store For Utah Jazz?
Posted by Nancy on Apr 29th 2013
The Utah Jazz are in a rebuilding phase after a disappointing season. There were times during the season that the team displayed some excellent play. However, for the most part, they failed to live up to expectations.
They had a chance at making the play-offs but things were not meant to be. Players wearing the Jazz basketball jerseys were not able to pull it off when it counted the most.
Now the team is in danger of losing 8 players due to free agency. The good thing is that it could free up some salary cap and the management can use it to pursue a top tier player. In fact the team could end with about forty-million dollars to shop around new players.
Of the eight players, four of them are expected to come back to the team. These are stalwarts Derrick Favors, Gordon Hayward, Enes Kanter and Alec Burks. Unfortunately, 2 of the teams’ most reliable players, Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap seem intent on leaving the team for greener pastures. This means that the Jazz will have to look for reliable big men to replace them.
