2007/08 Utah Jazz Payroll: $58.9 million
2007/08 Estimated NBA Salary Cap: $55 million
Roughly: $3.9 million over cap
The Good: To find the answer to Utah’s surprise run to the Western Conference
Finals, look no further than Deron Williams. The second-year point guard out of
Illinois showed phenomenal improvement this season, increasing his production
to 16.2 points and 9.3 assists per game. He basically equaled the numbers of
last year’s top rookie, Chris Paul. After a rocky first season, Deron appears
to be headed for stardom. He still has two more years under his rookie contract
for $4 and $5 million, respectively. By then, there is no telling what more
this young man can accomplish. The sky is the limit.
Helping Deron out is one of the best frontlines in all of basketball, led by
Carlos Boozer and Mehmet Okur. Both players signed large contracts to come to
Utah and they are finally paying off those investments.
Boozer was a major bust because of bad injuries in two straight seasons. This
year, however, Boozer was a force to be reckoned with. He exploded for career
highs in points (20.9), rebounds (11.7), assists (3.0), and shooting percentage
(56.1). If he can keep those numbers up, Boozer will easily earn the three
years and $35 million left on his contract.
Mehmet Okur’s breakout season was last year, but he was able to maintain
similar numbers, averaging 17.6 points and 7.2 rebounds and raising his three
point shooting to 38.4%. Like Boozer, Okur is also signed for the next three
years, but for only $26 million. His deal now seems like a pretty good
bargain. Together, Boozer and Okur will keep Utah’s frontline full of talent
for quite a while.
Adding to that mix is rookie Paul Milsap who was an incredible find in the
second round of the draft. Milsap averaged 6.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, and
nearly 1 block per game while playing just 18 minutes a night. Since he was
a second rounder, Milsap will make much less than one million a year each
of the next two seasons. Utah is getting more than their fair share out of
that contract.
The Bad: The career of versatile forward Andrei Kirilenko is in critical
condition. The highest paid member of the Jazz, still owed $63 million over
the next four years, was once the kind of player who could really fill up a
box score. Last year, he averaged 15.3 points, 8 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and
3.2 blocks per game, something few players in the league could accomplish.
This season, Kirilenko’s numbers plummeted nearly in half. Any player making
that kind of superstar money should not be averaging just 8.3 points and 4.7
rebounds a game. A healthy and resurgent Carlos Boozer would explain a small
drop in Kirilenko’s production, but not that much. AK-47 needs to get back
on track in a big way.
Derek Fisher’s emotional playoff moments were gutsy and admirable considering
his family’s situation. Fisher is there to provide veteran leadership and
he has done that very well. Unfortunately, his play on the court hasn’t been
that great. Fisher averaged a dismal 38% shooting from the field and 30.8%
shooting from the three point line. He still has three years remaining on his
deal for more than $20 million. The Jazz need Fisher’s outside shooting and
those percentages are not worthy of his contract.
The Future: With all the major players signed up for the next few seasons, the
Jazz should be a factor in the Western Conference for a while. Their frontline
, consisting of Kirilenko, Boozer, and Okur, is easily the most talented group
in the league and provide all kinds of matchup problems. With Deron Williams
breaking out at the point, all they really need is better depth at guard. Utah
doesn’t really have an answer for their backup point guard position and they
could use another good three point shooter to help space the floor. A few
tweaks might be all this team needs to make a Finals run.
Kirilenko’s play is the only red flag the Jazz need to worry about. With that
much money invested and the team on the verge of playing for a championship,
AK must overcome the emotional antics he displayed in the playoffs and get
back to playing basketball like he used. If Kirilenko can regain his form,
Utah will be very tough to stop.
Free Throw: The team took a lot of flak when they selected Deron Williams
ahead of Chris Paul in the draft. Then they took even more when Paul won the
Rookie-of-the-Year award and Williams struggled through a tough first season.
Well, who is laughing now? Williams was able to take his team deep into the
playoffs and he just might be the best point guard from the 2005 draft. I
have a feeling that will be a close debate for a long time to come.
