Miles ahead: Jazz match offer, keep C.J. around

The Jazz on Friday decided to match the four-year, roughly $15.8 million offer sheet that restricted free agent swingman C.J. Miles signed with Oklahoma City last week.

The decision means Miles will return to Utah for a fourth year, and becomes the 15th player on the Jazz roster whose contract is guaranteed.

The final year of Miles' new deal is believed to be a team option, meaning just the first three years are fully guaranteed.

Miles was selected by the Jazz in the second round of the 2005 NBA Draft, straight out of Dallas Skyline High School.

The 22-year-old has averaged 4.0 points in 120 regular-season games over three years in Utah, including 5.0 points in 60 games (13 starts) last season.
