Utah Jazz: Morris Almond's option won't be picked up

The Jazz are giving up on 2007 first-round draft pick Morris Almond. 

That decision comes after only one season in which Almond set scoring
records in the NBA Development League, but played in only nine games for a
total of 39 minutes with the Jazz.

Almond said he was told by Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor that the
team would not exercise the third-year option, worth $1.157 million, in his
rookie contract to bring him back for the 2009-10 season.

"I've seen that coming for a while," Almond said.

Almond will become an unrestricted free agent after this season but he
said the Jazz have been working to trade him this week. He added that his
fate was likely sealed when the Jazz matched an offer sheet to C.J. Miles
this summer.

"Something had to give," Almond said, "and this is the start of that."

Playing behind Ronnie Brewer and Miles, Almond spent the bulk of his
rookie season with the D-League's Utah Flash. He scored 53 points in one game
with the Flash, 51 in another and was named the league's impact player of the
year.

Even though the Jazz didn't exercise the option and are working to trade
him, Almond has a place on the active roster right now with Matt Harpring
still recovering from an ankle infection.

If Almond is traded, two potential destinations are San Antonio and Detroit.
Both teams were interested in Almond leading up to the 2007 draft. Almond
worked out twice for the Spurs and was convinced he was heading there after
a dinner with coach Gregg Popovich.
