Lots of questions for O'Connor, Jazz as the end of lockout nears--Deseret News
While tweeting and sweating up a late-night storm after learning about the NBA's labor resolution, C.J. Miles reminded everybody of an important fact.
"No I am not a free agent," Miles wrote on Twitter. "I play for the UTAH JAZZ."
He will again soon, at least.
Nine guys who ended the 2010-11 season in April with the Jazz can also claim that — in uppercase letters if they so choose — because they remain under contract for the condensed campaign of 2011-12.
Coach Tyrone Corbin's incoming group includes point guard Devin Harris, shooting guard Raja Bell, swingmen Gordon Hayward and Miles, small forward Jeremy Evans, power forwards Paul Millsap and Derrick Favors, along with centers Al Jefferson and Mehmet Okur.
...
Will Hayward take over Kirilenko's role while promising Burks splits time with Bell, or will they bring the latter off the bench after his disappointing return to the NBA last year? Can Miles find the consistency he's lacked? Will the Jazz find a role for the wildly athletic Evans?

If the CBA is approved, Corbin will rely upon returning starters Harris and Jefferson to lead the team, while everyone from Gordon Hayward and Paul Millsap to Kanter and Burks should receive significant playing time.

UConn Gets Past Florida State In Overtime--Basketball Predictions
Hofstra 63, Cleveland State 53
Cleveland State struggled with the aggressive play of Hofstra all night. Hofstra dominated the boards (a 47.8 OR% compared to a 15.4 OR% for Cleveland State). Hofstra shot 12-for-21 from the field in the second half, which sounds on paper like they got hot shooting the ball, when in fact ten of the 12 made baskets were layups or dunks. Hofstra just wanted this game more than Cleveland State did, and earned a huge win because of that.
Hofstra came into this game without a quality win, and with losses to Florida Atlantic, Oregon State and Rhode Island. Hofstra will next play Boston University, later today. Their toughest game before beginning conference play will be Iona on December 29th.
This is a disappointing loss for Cleveland State, particularly if they want to make a run at an at-large bid. This will likely be an RPI 100+ loss, and they don't have a lot of opportunities for good wins. They do have wins over Vanderbilt and Kent State, but they don't have much left on their schedule. They will play Rhode Island later today. Their next game after that will be a true road game at Wright State on Thursday.
Game on? NBA owners, players shake on deal--Miami Herald
The Heat has work to do. Point guard Mario Chalmers is a restricted free agent, and draft pick Norris Cole, the point guard from Cleveland State, must be signed. The Heat will also likely shop for a point guard or center with its midlevel exception.
“I know right now everything is tentative, but it’s great news to get back to work and play basketball,” Cole said. “I’ve been trying to be patient and work out, and I’ve spent a lot of time at home with my family. I wasn’t used to living with my family because I was at college for four years.”
Cole will make his move to Miami this week and, upon signing his rookie contract, will be united with his new teammates who agree with his sentiments.
