Teammate Devin Harris said Tuesday that he will spend part of his summer in town; Paul Millsap will be around as always; and Jefferson plans to work out with the iron man in Santa Barbara, Calif.

“It’s good that we’re going to spend a lot of time this summer,” Jefferson said. “Try to get things on the same page.”

I assume Hayward is going to be around. I hope Favors sends time working out with all the guys.
 
They still have an opening on Corbin's staff, so if I was a wannabe Jazz assistant coach (e.g., Karl Malone, John Stockton, Jim Boylen, whoever), I would get in touch with Millsap and arrange the use of a gymnasium this offseason. An unaffiliated coach and the new self-proclaimed team leader (Millsap) could send out an open invitation to any Jazz players including draftees this summer. They could run plays and work out just like they would in camp. If these guys are serious about winning (or keeping a job), showing that kind of initiative would pay dividends right out of the gate whenever the lockout ended.
 
I doubt Hayward stays - well not the whole time anyways. He's kinda sappy for his GF and I think he'll head home to spend some time there.

So, I have a friend that works with the Jazz organization and he had to drive Favors around the other day. He was talking to Favors and Favors asked him where all the Jazz players lived. My friend then asks him, "You don't know? Haven't you been to their house?" Favors replied that he hadn't hung out with any of them and all he does all day is sit alone in his hotel room. Kinda sad.

My friend then asked Hayward about it, and Hayward said that Favors never talks to anyone. He never talks in practice, he never talks in the locker room. He never talks to anyone.

Anyways, I hope Favors/Jazz figure this out. The dude can't sit in his hotel room all day and be happy here.
 
Good news but if I were KOC, I'd be putting Malone on the payroll and shipping Sap, Al and Favors down to Lousiana for the summer. Karl's workouts would be a revelation to them.

That doesn't sound good at all.
 
Your friend was driving him around? He is giving himself way to much credit... I saw them talking in the back of bestbuy in the washing machine section.

With the lockout, coaches wouldn't be allowed to work with players. Maybe that's why they haven't publicly reached out to Malone. Maybe they just gave his number to Jefferson and Millsap.

Have you seen or heard this kid interviewed? He sounds like a lost puppy. He's 19, can't go to bars or clubs, he's on his own in a new, strange city.

Just wait. He's our Forrest Gump. The kid is going to come back next season ripped to all holy hell and ready to **** up the NBA. Book it.

But will he have friends?
 
I still have a hard time believing no one has invited him to dinner or something like that.
 
Some people are just introverts. They have no trouble being alone or accasionally in small groups. For all we know, favors routinely turns down invatations.
