Comments about ‘Miles ahead: Jazz match offer, keep C.J. around’

Wow! Wait to go Jazz!! Hopefully your investment starts to get some minutes!!

Anxious to see how Morris Almond performs tonight, given this news. He will be out to prove something, methinks.

I'm glad ole' CJ will be sticking around. He does some cool ally-oops.

I believe that with them matching the salary, the Jazz have something in the works, as far as a trade. Whether they are matching Miles' contract for money on a bigger trade or keeping him around and moving some other players, we'll just have to wait and see. But if they aren't making any other changes in this offseason, this move would make no sense. How often does the 11th or 12th man make 4 million a year?

I smell a trade coming.

I didn't think they'd do it. Something tells me there must be a trade in the works involving some other guys on the team.

I have mixed feelings about this. CJ is a great talent and I think he would thrive on a team if given the minutes. I don't know if it's worth paying him $4 million a year to sit on the bench. Maybe a sign and trade is in the works.

Does this mean there is another trade coming with one of the Jazz pieces? A lot of people to pay in the next couple of years. If only AKs contract could be dumped.

Maybe there is a sign-and-trade in the works to send CJ elsewhere and actually get something abck for him...

Wow! I'm surprised given the stockpile of young, talented players at that position. Looks like a sign and trade situation to me. I can't see us trading Korver given our need for veteran leadership and a dead-eye shooter, but one of the other three is gone guaranteed!

he is only 21, he has showed the ability to improve, in my eyes he will be the starting 3 in 2 years.

Good move. Heck, great move. 15 guaranteed contracts means there is more to come. C.J. is a blossoming player and am glad he is going to be fighting to earn his minutes as a member of the Jazz. I think AK's future is in jeopardy now. Let's see what goes down!

C.J. is a part of the puzzle we need. GO JAZZ!!!!

Good good move. I really like the decisions you have been making this summer. Getting rid of hart, keeping CJ. Now lets make a move and get AK outta here and bring in a quality big guy!

CJ is a very promising young talent and he can easily replace AK. With some hard work, this kid could be a starter in no time!

Great decision...CJ will be even more mature and confident this year. Now, get to camp!

Gotta Love it BABY!!!!! Good move. Way too much talent to let slip away for nothing. Good luck CJ and I'm VERY glad you're still a Jazzman.

C.J. Miles has so much talent. If he just listens he will be able to develop into a great role player for the jazz. I am glad that we resigned him. He will be a good player for a long time to come. Just needs to step up his defense, and could contribute when A.K. isnt on his game.

Kevin O'connor better have something good in mind. Like a Trade that will fill our needs not our Salary Cap. Miles is good but he is buried on the bench, and his D is soft at times, but he has shown good potential. This leaves us still softer in the middle than a roll of Charmin toilet paper.

I would have been fine keeping CJ if the money were less. This was too much, now what are you going to pay Millsap or Brewer next year. Certainly you have to offer them more than $4M per year, and now you've set the bar higher for those guys. And those are players we want to keep for sure. Are you going to give Millsap $8M per year, or how about Brewer, maybe $7M per year? Yikes, both sound like too much to me, and look at the Lakers they are letting their backups leave because they are getting too much money. I think this was a poor decision Jazz.

I'm shocked to see the Jazz matched the offer, but excited to see if CJ ends up being productive. I'm wondering if they are going to move someone, because that is a lot money for someone that doesn't get any minutes.
