Well that was a depressing end to an otherwise entertaining year (hey, we won 3 more games than I thought we would at the start of the year). Maybe that lottery pick we have from the Knicks will bear fruit in the form of that dominant shot-blocker we desperately need. Otherwise, I have no doubt that the Jazz organization will ignore that glaring hole in our lineup as they have every year since Ostertag left the team.
The other big question, of course, is what will happen with Carlos Boozer now. With the organization as it is and what we saw this year with Greg Miller willing to slice off vital members of the team for cash, I don't think they're going to go deep into luxury tax to resign Boozer. That means Millsap will probably be our starting PF next year, with some D-League or Rookie call-up filling in off the bench.
On a side note, if anything great came of this year, it was the emergence of Wesley Matthews, a guy everyone passed on in the draft yet turned out to be more than worthy of a Starter's Position. He'll be a great addition for years to come. Williams is really starting to come into his own now as well, as is Paul Millsap (who has developed a stunning amount of range to his game I didn't think possible a few years ago). Pity his freethrow shooting still sucks. Sadly, CJ Miles is as random as ever. Fesenko shows promise, though it's the same "promise" he's always shown and never capitalized on. Koufos is a total wash, sadly (considering he's our only other big guy). Jeffers will be rejoining the D-League or Europe next year, and Gaines will probably be brought back to keep that bench warm while the 12 other guys ahead of him get to play.
