Derrick Favors has confirmed reports that the Jazz brass have contacted to inform him that he will need to select a new jersey number for the 2012-2013 season. Speculation of the implications of such a request have exploded on Twitter. Details will be forthcoming.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports that the Jazz will be adding a defensive specialist to the coaching staff. In addtion, he'll be working on a partnership with the Junior Jazz to turn it into a farming system.
Regarding recent rumors about Jimmer returning to Utah, Kevin O'Connor told the Deseret News "The price to land Jimmer at this stage was just too high." When asked if they had interest, "Oh absolutely," O'Connor responded, "we crunched the numbers and saw this as a huge win. Unfortunately we're not able to get Jimmer now but we are currently working on picking up a couple BYU products. Well, one of them is really more of just a random fan than a product, but I don't want to split hairs."
More details are emerging into what precisely caused the locker-room drama from last season. Information coming in points to an unnamed disgruntled player and his involving himself in another man's business.
After both independently converting to Mormonism, Carlos and Cece Boozer retied the knot this summer by getting sealed for time and all eternity in the Chicago Temple. "It's been such a great experience," Boozer said. "I know that the fans have fallen out of love with [Jefferson] and would love to return to Utah to offer myself up as a type of blood atonement," he commented when asked about his future. "I'm eager to get back to Salt Lake and defend not only the faith, but also the paint!"
Earlier this week CJ Miles tweeted that he had signed an offer sheet with another franchise. "At this moment I'm not able to disclose who, but it's a pretty prominent franchise," he said. "I feel like it's a good situation. I'll have a strong supporting cast that I really think complement my strengths," Miles stated.
Former Jazzman Andrei Kirilenko has opted out of his contract with CSKA Moskow, but it's not the hardwood of Brooklyn that he'll be chasing. Andrei has committed to spending the rest of this summer, and longer, if necessary, living in the wilderness of Siberia befriending Gorons, playing ocarinas, saving princesses and slaying dragons.
