Jazz open-minded regarding Ostertag
By Tim Buckley
Deseret Morning News
Even as they scout big men they may select in the June 24 NBA Draft, the Jazz
have not ruled out the possibility of re-signing veteran center Greg Ostertag.
"We're gonna establish what we consider a fair market value, he's gonna
establish what he considers a fair market value, and we're gonna talk about
it," said Kevin O'Connor, the Jazz's senior vice president for basketball
operations after watching draft prospects Rafael Araujo of BYU and David
Harrison of Colorado work out Friday.
Ostertag, an unrestricted free agent who has spent his entire nine-season
NBA career in Utah, has not ruled out re-signing with the Jazz.
But earlier this week he also told the Dallas Morning News how much he would
love to play for his hometown Mavericks, reiterating remarks he has made on
previous occasions.
"My guess," O'Connor said, "is that when the dust clears, we're gonna be one
of the teams involved in looking to bring him back."
The Jazz can begin negotiating with Ostertag and other free agents July 1.
RUSSIAN RUMOR: According to ESPNInsider.com's" Chad Ford, sharp-shooting
swingman Sergei Monya of Russia "is not working out for any teams, causing
whispers of 'promise' around the league. . . . Utah is one of many teams that
really likes Monya. He'd be a great fit."
Monya is represented by Marc Fleisher, the same agent employed by Jazz
All-Star forward Andrei Kirilenko, a Russian, and Jazz restricted free agent
shooting guard Gordan Giricek, who is from Croatia.
"I'm not saying Utah promised anything, but it makes some sense," Ford wrote
Friday. "Monya likely will have to play one more season in Russia before
heading to the NBA, giving the Jazz time to sort out logjams at (shooting guard
and small forward)."
The Jazz will travel to Russia to play Monya's current team and Kirilenko's
former team, CSKA Moscow, in a preseason game this October.
TRADE TALK: A trade rumor, also courtesy of ESPN's Ford: "One (scenario) has
he Bulls working out a deal with the Jazz, who would send their No. 16 pick
and Matt Harpring to Chicago for the Bulls' No. 3 pick and Jerome Williams."
MISC.: University of Nevada swingman Kurt Snyder unexpectedly canceled a
planned Friday visit to Utah; instead, the Jazz will watch him in Chicago. . .
Snyder was replaced in Friday's four-player workout by 6-foot-8 forward Evan
Burns, who severely tore his left knee while playing for San Diego State during
the 2002-03 season. . . . O'Connor leaves this weekend to scout a big men's
camp in Italy that features not only 7-5 Siberian giant Pavel Podkolzine, but
also highly regarded 18-year-old Martynas Andriuskevicius, a 7-2 center from
Lithuania, and Mile Ilic, a 7-1 center who plays in Serbia. . . . According to a
report in the Hartford Courant, the Jazz are among several teams who have
recently watched University of Connecticut point guard Ben Gordan work out.
