Utah Jazz mum on whether they will match offer for Miles

I hope the Jazz don't retain Miles. Let him go. Even though he might have some talent, he will be fighting hard for playing time. Can't pay him 15 mill to sit on the bench.

The Jazz can easily replace Miles with Cummard next year if they can sneak into the top half of the first round and snag the stud.

Miles woulda been wise to have gone on a mission out of high school.

Bye Bye CJ - go for the money! I think you "killed" yourself with the Jazz by not playing last year (and this year) with the summer league. That seems to be a must for the Jazz. I don't expect the Jazz will match your OK offer. Best of luck!

Miles has game. We are stacked at his position and maybe he's not the guy we want. But he had trade value, couldn't the Jazz have done something along the lines of a sign and trade rather than be forced into paying Miles more than they wanted or just letting him walk? The other strong Western teams are getting better and the Jazz are sliding.

Jimmy thinks the Jazz should and will pass. Jimmy wishes the Jazz would have offered Kelenna Azuibuke 3 years $9m or Keyon Dooling 2 years $6.8m. Both players are more complete players and would offer the Jazz something more than Miles limited game.

I am very disappointed in the way Sloan and Kevin O Conner have handled C.J. He is by far the best of the 2's we have or had. Kyle Korver anyone? Hope you like him.

if they can get something for him in a sign and trade deal, go ahead and match it. He hasn't shown that he is worth what OC is offering. He's developing a nice shot, but is a little slow on D.

CJ may be the next MJ. I highly doubt it, but his chances of achieving greatness will be better for OKC. Sloan will just bench him as he does with 99% of his young talent. I wish CJ well but I don't think he is worth (or any NBA player for that matter) the jack they offered him. Good luck CJ.

I love the jazz here, but I hope Miles goes, he has great talent, if he works hard on the off season. Jazz rather sign people like Jason hart and give these guys money then rather spend money on players we have develop KOC is an idiot! Miles is going to come back to Utah and proabably throw up 30pts. i remember when KOC wanted to trade Boozer for Chris Mihm because Boozer was hurt all of time. Thank god they didn't! So mile s Goodluck man I love ya playing style here, your Rap though is questionable!

Cummard huh? Top half of first round huh?

I was thinking if the Jazz could get one of the Johnson brothers from the 8th ward they'd be okay. The 8th ward has won the stake tournament for five years straight.

miles has game if we gave him a few more years he woulda been a baller definently now were gonna look back on him just like stevenson.

Were sliding fast. Looks like we peaked 2 seasons ago. I don't like the direction this franchise is headed.O Conner,Sloan,Korver,Almond, their all over rated. Best of luck C.J. ,I enjoyed watching you play here.I know you will do very, very well in the NBA.

no offense, but just because stevenson actually plays for the wizards doesn't mean any of us look back and wish we would have kept him, or that he's even any good. good at growing a beard? perhaps. good nba 2 guard? not even close.

The issue is Matt Harpring's knees. Matt has been a most valuable sub for Utah when he has been healthy, but after 3 surgeries the Jazz have to start thinking about Kirilenko's sub, especially as AK is somewhat fragile. If M. Almond is not ready, we better keep Miles. The Jazz further need perimeter shooting.

To dang:
yeah I'm gonna look back on him just like I did on Stevenson.... WooHoo he's finally gone.

Good Luck C.J. and thanks to you and your agent for opening a roster spot. I wish we had JC Carroll.

Nice dud comment Kevin, I suppose you were big on the thug Stevenson too. Does Miles play D? NO. Again Kevin does Miles play D? NO. SO Kevin let's remind ourselves what type of teams win titles??? Teams with great offense? No, renob teams with great D. Bulls, Pistons, Spurs even Celtics were the best D team in the league this year. Your analysis is lame and "offensive." :)

I don't think Miles is worth 15 mil to this team, especially since it looks like everything he's done contract-wise and in the offseason the last couple of years has been designed to get him out of Utah.

I hate to see a young guy with so much potential go, but if he just doesn't want to be here, he's not going to be a good part of the team anyway, no matter how good he *could* be.

Losing Miles doesn't help our situation with needing outside shooters, but I don't think it'll hurt much, either. We have Korver, who can shoot the lights out, Brewer, who is athletic and can play some D, and Almond, who (though probably not as athletic as Miles) has the potential to be a sweet perimeter scorer.

I bet we'll be okay at two-guard, even if Miles goes.

His attitude about summer league should be a big sign as to his attitude in general. A work ethic like that can go to Oklahoma City. Don't let the door hit ya CJ. Remember CJ, many others have bailed out for more money and quickly disappeared from the NBA.

HAHHAHAHH HAHAHAHAHAHA.............HAHAHAHHHHAHHAHA!
I was so happy to hear that Miles will be gone. Where's his playing time gonna come in Oklahoma City? Is he gonna take minutes from Kevin Durrant, maybe Green? NO! He'll continue to be a disappointment and they'll be stuck with him for 4 years.
Some people act like the Jazz will be worse this year without Miles. What are we gonna miss his 3 minutes of Garbage time every other game? His 3 pt, 1 REB effort. How will we ever survive?
HAHHAHAHHAHAH!
