Jazz match offer for CJ Miles

The Utah Jazz have agreed to match the 4-year, $15 million deal for CJ Miles, amove that makes no sense ot me considering they already have Ronnie Brewer, Kyle Korver and Morris Almond at that position.

THe only way I can conceive it making sense is if they move Andrei Kirilenko or anticipate Matt Harpring's knees breaking down, and they move one of those guys to the 3 position. Now if the Jazz sign Kosta Koufos instead of sending him overseas for a year, the Jazz have all 15 roster spots filled.

If you don't improve, you get worse, and I can't say that swapping Jason Hart for Brevin Knight is enough improvement. Then again, none of the Western Conference playoff teams have really improved yet. Denver lost Marcus Camby. The Lakers may lose Ronny Turiaf and Sasha Vujacic. The Spurs lost Brent Barry. The Rockets gained Brent Barry, so that's a little bit of improvement. Dallas got DaSagna Diop back; that's nice. Midseason is a more likely candidate for when we'll see Pau Gasol-level moves.
