I'd be happy to see AK ride of into the sunset and Fes dumped into the garbage bin where he belongs. I'll be awfully put out if either of these two are on the team next year.
Which player under contract for next year already plans on leaving after this season is over?

Well lets sign then and then trade them at the deadline. If Ak is willing to sign for 6-8 million I think there would be plenty of teams lining up to trade for him.
I just like the fact that Fez is 7 ft plus and he would probably be pretty cheap.

I don't want AK back at all. I am tired of his antics and yeast infections that keep him out for 5 games every month.

I doubt it's Miles. CJ just said in an interview today and said he hopes the Jazz pick up the team option for next year. He also said he wants to sign an extension.

I'll even give this its own thread.
Millsap has two more years on his contract. He is not going anywhere unless we trade him.

I am 100% that it was Bell. It would not surprise me if it was Millsap but I doubt it. I think they are on the verge of asking him to go back to the bench and I'm not sure that will sit well. It could be Jefferson but he was giving everything he had while we were still in the hunt for the playoffs. I think Millsap or Jefferson need to go. I prefer to keep Jefferson. They play too much alike to be successful on the floor together. And neither of them will be happy as the 6th man.
Do you really think AK is going to take that big of a cut when he knows the Jazz extended Memo for 9+ million?
Besides with all these draft picks and young players the Jazz need to be wise who they spend money on. If they don't then the Jazz may find themselves in the same situation they did when trying to match Matthews. Jazz may have five lottery picks on the team in two years (Hayward, Favors, 2 picks this year and another next along with having to pay CJ, Millsap and AJ). How are they going to have money to spend on AK and keep all our young talent?
The window of opportunity in the NBA is short so the Jazz need to get the kids up and running in order to take a few shots at competing for a championship. Keeping players like AK around will only slow down the development of our younger players while financially strapping the franchise for years. Paying AK too much would certainly lead to another "Matthews situation" where the franchise has to lose a young talented player because we extended an aging vet (Memo).

I'd guess that the Jazz will have 6 lottery picks on the team in two years-- Hayward, Favors, the Net's pick and our own this offseason, and the Warrior's pick and our own pick in 2012 (I doubt we will make the playoffs next year...).
This could turn into OKC or this could turn into the LA Clippers (pre-Griffin). Fun.

here's the context from the article:
is the "one under contract" Millsap?

no way does KOC put a team out there with that many young guys. if we end up with 2 picks in this draft, he'll trade one away or use it to stash away some euro.
