Jerry Sloan - C - Jazz

Jerry Sloan will not take the head coaching job with the Milwaukee Bucks, according to NBA.com's David Aldridge.

It's not a surprise for one of the best coaches in the history of the game. The 71-year-old Sloan is interested in coaching again, but feels that the Bucks are not the right fit. The Bucks will shift their focus to Nate McMillan, Kelvin Sampson, J.B. Bickerstaff or possibly Steve Clifford to fill their coaching void.

Jerry Sloan - C - Jazz

Jerry Sloan is being "seriously considered" for the Bucks' vacant head coaching job, according to Sam Amick of USA Today.

The same report suggests that "a reunion [of Sloan] with ... Deron Williams is not on the horizon." Sloan is one of at least five coaches to have interviewed with the Bucks, joining Nate McMillan, Kelvin Sampson, J.B. Bickerstaff and Steve Clifford, the latter of whom interviewed on Monday.

Jerry Sloan - C - Jazz

Jerry Sloan said a "couple" NBA teams have called him to discuss a possible return to coaching.

Sloan, who has been linked to both the Nets and the Bucks so far, described the calls as exploratory and said there are no job offers are on the table. The Nets option is an intriguing one due to the Deron Williams factor, but ESPN's Chris Broussard reported Sloan is a "long-shot candidate" for Brooklyn's vacancy and Sloan himself said the Nets are not one of the teams that called him. At this point, it appears Sloan is making a concerted effort to put his name in the running, but it remains to be seen if there's an NBA team willing to bite at the moment.

Jeff Hornacek - G - Jazz

Jazz assistant Jeff Hornacek is drawing interest from the Sixers, Bobcats and Suns for their head coaching vacancy.

No word if he plans to wipe the side of his face before the coaching interviews like he did at the foul line when he played, but it would be a nice touch. Hornacek, now 50 years old, has spent the last two-plus seasons as an assistant for the Jazz.

Jerry Sloan - C - Jazz

Jerry Sloan is considered a "long-shot candidate" for the Nets head coaching job, a source told ESPN's Chris Broussard.

The Nets have been linked to a lot of prominent names, but little has come of it thus far. Brooklyn is expected to take their time in hiring a new head coach, and while Sloan said he'd listen if the Nets called, it doesn't appear that movement has gained any traction yet.

Jerry Sloan - C - Jazz

Jerry Sloan said that he's not opposed to reuniting with Deron Williams.

"I'm open, I would listen," he said. "I would definitely listen if they called." While it's not an outright endorsement of Williams, it's telling that both Williams and Sloan have said they harbor no ill will toward one another in less than 24 hours.

Jerry Sloan - C - Jazz

Deron Williams said that he "would love" to play for Jerry Sloan again when discussing the vacant Nets head coaching position.

It would truly be a sight to behold if Williams and Sloan are reunited in Brooklyn after all of the cries about Williams being a coach-killer, but it's too early in the process to determine if Sloan will be a legitimate candidate in the search. You can expect GM Billy King to get Williams' opinion of the next head coach as the franchise star, but it's unlikely to be the determining factor in the next hire.

Jerry Sloan - C - Jazz

Jerry Sloan is "seriously considering" a return to coaching, according to Bucks beat writer Gery Woelfel.

Woelfel also reported on Milwaukee radio that Sloan would prefer to work in a smaller market, meaning the Bucks could be a dark horse for his services. Of course, Sloan would have to be interested in the Bucks roster and remaking the entire team, but it's clear that he's not slamming the door on the possibility of a return.

Al Jefferson - F/C - Jazz

Utah executive Kevin O'Connor denied a television report that he'd be stepping down from his job with the Jazz.

O'Connor is the former GM of the team, but he stepped into a diminished role last season with Dennis Lindsey replacing him. A local TV station reported that O'Connor would leave the team and hand all duties to Lindsey, but that was met with a fierce denial. "Not true, and I have no comment," he said.

Paul Millsap - F - Jazz

Paul Millsap admitted his impending free agency had an impact on him this season.

"I'm human, so no," he said when asked if he was able to put free agency aside during the season. "That's me being honest." The prevailing thought is that the Jazz will either re-sign Millsap or Al Jefferson, but not both with youngsters Derrick Favors and Enes Kanter ready for larger roles.

Jamaal Tinsley - G - Jazz

Jamaal Tinsley said he thinks he can play 3-4 more years in the NBA.

Thanks to the Mo Williams injury, Tinsley was forced to start 32 games for the Jazz this season. He averaged just 4.8 points, 5.4 assists and 2.2 rebounds while shooting 40.3 percent from the field. At age 35, Tinsely is nothing more than a third point guard.

Al Jefferson - F/C - Jazz

The Salt Lake Tribune says a scenario in which unrestricted free agents Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap both return to the Jazz is "almost unthinkable."

When the Jazz chose not to trade either of their starting big men at the trade deadline, they set in motion a plan for salary cap flexibility. With up to 10 unrestricted free agents, they'll have upwards of $40 million in cap space. So they could bring back both Jefferson and Millsap for huge numbers, but it would be stunning if they did. They're better off using the money elsewhere and letting talented youngsters Derrick Favors and Enes Kanter spread their wings. Where Big Al and Millsap land will be one of fantasy's biggest offseason storylines.

DeMarre Carroll - F - Jazz

DeMarre Carroll is hoping to re-sign with the Jazz as an unrestricted free agent.

"The Junkyard Dog don’t want to go anywhere because the dog pound is here," he said. "I'm a Utah Jazz until they don't want me." Carroll shouldn't have a shortage of interested suitors as he's established a reputation as a high-energy bench player.

Marvin Williams - F - Jazz

Marvin Williams has not decided whether or not to pick up his player option for next season.

Williams would be forfeiting $7.5 million if he declined it to become an unrestricted free agent, and it's not a guarantee he'd be able to land anything more than a one-year deal. He's still best remembered as the guy who was picked ahead of Deron Williams and Chris Paul in 2005.

Tyrone Corbin - F - Jazz

Jazz general manager Dennis Lindsey says Tyrone Corbin has the full confidence of Lindsey and the team's ownership.

Of course, Lindsey then followed that up by saying "the gloves will come off when he and Corbin would meet next week to evaluate the Jazz going forward. While votes of confidence are worth almost nothing, the Jazz played with an extraordinary number of pending free agents this season, including big men Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap. It wouldn't be a total shock to see Corbin get the axe, but we think he'll survive at least another year.
