Jazz season ends

Deron Williams said the front office needs to "make some moves."

The Utah Jazz fell short again. True, it was the second round this time. Last year, it was the first round, but both times it was by the Lakers. And the front office is paying attention to what D-Will says. They know if the team's not winning and he's not happy in two years, he'll bolt for greener pastures in a bigger market where he feels like he has a better chance of winning.

Free agents: Carlos Boozer, Kyle Korver, Wesley Matthews, Kyrylo Fesenko, Sundiata Gaines, Othella Jeffers.

Last year of contracts: Andrei Kirilenko, Ronnie Price.

Next step is to see if their #9 ping-pong ball lands in the Top 3. Odds are against it. Then they focus on the draft, then they focus on who they want to bring back, who they can re-sign, who they want to trade, who can they get...

Crucial, crucial summer. Last year they decided the team had been riddled with injuries, so let's bring them all back to give it one more shot. They traded away Eric Maynor and Ronnie Brewer, had key injuries at the end of the season to Kirilenko and Mehmet Okur, and here they are again.
