Utah Jazz: Miles signs offer sheet with Oklahoma City

C.J. Miles although growing up and into his game slowly has probably seen his last Jazz game as a player if that Oklahoma City contract is 15 million for 4 years.

IMHO it will be economics that stops the Jazz from matching the offer sheet.

Interesting that Oklahoma waited until after Deron Williams signed his contract today to have the news released.

I wish C.J. Miles well and hope he grows up like Kris Humphreys and realizes that Jerry Sloan knows what he is talking about when he says hard work is what it takes.

Just because C.J. Miles got the offer does not mean he is worth it.

if they make deals like this, Seattle might not want the Sonics back.

Almost $4m per year for CJ Miles? Good luck with that.

Watch the Jazz will not match the offer. No problem...they should have never drafted him in the first place right out of high school!

That is the trouble with 2nd round high school players. By the time they are any good they are eligible to go somewhere else.

The Oklahoma City "Rustlers" will be a good place for Miles to continue to develop.

Let him go and look for the next guy that will help you.

Good Bye and Good Riddance!

I am hoping the Jazz match it but they wont

Waste of Money. but hey he will be richer than I so who cares.

coming back. I saw one good year in the three years he was here. Asta baby.

I'd take Brewer over CJ any day. CJ isn't that mentally tough, and he is not a $4 million player. OKC is paying him on potential, so of course if he turns out to be talented, Jazz naysayers will rip on the Jazz for letting him go, but no one with a straight face can say that, today, he is a $4 million a year player.

Let him walk and take the chance he won't pan out. The Jazz have two very good 2-guards, and when Boozer demands a ridiculous amount of money and he walks, we'll need all the money under the cap we can get.

I am, however, going to go out on a limb and say that there is tampering involved, based on the fact that CJ said that teams had "expressed interest" in him during the playoffs.

For both CJ & the Jazz if he goes to Oklahoma City. He will get more playing time, contribute more, and earn more moola. The Jazz can work on developing Almond. $15 million for Miles seems very high. He hasn't proved that he can really make an NBA team noticeably better. Hopefully he can in Oklahoma. Now if the Jazz could just trade Collins & Hart and pick up a solid combo guard to backup Deron & Brewer, they would be better positioned to make a run at the Finals.

If he goes he will light us up he has the ability to be good in this league all he needs is some stabilty in his playing time. Hes gets that and he could be the next wing to score 50 on the Jazz. He is a better shooter than Brewer and a better defender than Korver younger than the almost done Harpring and doesn't cry about Playing time like AK yet Sloan praises his work ethic in practice then leaves him on the bench. What a loss too the Jazz

I wish CJ the best. He will get playing time and money at OK.

If the Jazz think he is worth 4 mil they will match and then trade Korver. I doubt if that will happen. CJs minutes can go to Korver or maybe Almond.

CJ leaving may be a great opportunity for the Jazz to pick up a good defender at the 2 spot.

Maybe the Jazz will make an offer to Pargo. He is a PG but played well in the playoffs.

CJ is not worth four mil a year and the Jazz would be smart to let him go. They got other players to worry about paying in the future.

Wow if Oklahoma City is willing to make a dumb offer like that, I say we do a sign and trade. Sign CJ and trade him for Durant.

It will be tough to see C.J. go. The current roster is saddled with lesser players. If you watched the Revue tonight, you had to cringe. There was nothing there.

Miles is better than at least three and maybe four players who are still here and under contract.

Net loss for the Jazz. Oklahoma improves, Jazz remain static.

By the way, you can't trade players nobody wants.

C.J. is still younger than many players drafted this year, so saying he isn't mentally tough is probably correct, but perhaps a bit premature. Looked to me that he had an enormous amount of talent and athletic ability, plus a nice looking shot. I will bet that with a little time, he can become a pretty decent starter in this league. However, $15 million seems like a lot, but if he can utilize all of that talent and get more playing time, perhaps it will someday look like pocket change. Now, time to develop Almond!

a diamond in the rough....Sloan doesn't know how to grow the young talent here in Utah. the coach needs to go. just like deshwan stephenson, another young talent slips away. either that or the Jazz need to move to Seattle.

This is a day that will be remembered in Jazz history and it will not be a good one. CJ is going to be a great talent

Stephenson didn't slip away. They traded him for Giricek, who they then traded for Korver. I would take Korver over Stephenson. It would be nice to keep Miles for cheap, but the fact is, they can't afford it. They will need money if they want to keep Milsap and Korver. He will be overpaid by Seattle, and in a few years as they try to re-sign Durant and Green, they will look at this signing as a mistake. You just can't pay unknown talent this kind of money.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out. I like CJ and his personality. His game, however, is unproven. If he turns out to be someone the Jazz should not have let go so be it. CJ has not done anything in the public's eye to justify paying him the insane amount of money OK is paying him.
