Morris Almond

Position: Shooting guard

Contract status: Unrestricted free agent (team declined option)

Looking ahead: "Year three is, I think, going to be a year for me to blossom. First year is a rookie year, the second year you're still considered a young player. I'm looking for some big improvements going into year three."

Carlos Boozer

Position: Power forward

Contract status: Player option to become unrestricted free agent.

Looking ahead: "I'm going to talk to the team and I'll talk to my agent and my family and then I will make a decision form there. But I do want to stay here. I want to be in Utah. I want to play for the Jazz. I made that loud and clear from Day 1.

Ronnie Brewer

Position: Shooting guard

Contract status: Under contract.

Looking ahead: "(The Jazz) have the option (to work on a contract extension with me this offseason), but they have the option not to. I have no control of that, so I'm just going to work during the offseason to try to get better and improve so I can come back stronger next year."

Jarron Collins

Position: Center

Contract status: Unrestricted free agent

Looking ahead: "The Jazz, we, they, want a championship — and you never know what the future holds. You just play it by ear, and see what happens. ... I'm, knock on wood, healthy, finally; 30 years old. I'd like to play a couple more years, and move on."

Kyrylo Fesenko

Position: Center

Contract status: Team has yet to exercise/decline option for next year.

Looking ahead: "I think it went pretty well. I have a lot of improvements, I think. I have a long way to go even more, so I'll just try to stay in shape. I'll play for my national team and we'll see what's going to happen next season. I don't know yet."
