<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">After waiting patiently in line, the Jazz now plan to make a formal pitch to Antonio Daniels. Jazz basketball operations senior vice president Kevin O'Connor will fly to San Antonio on Sunday to meet with the free-agent point guard, O'Connor said Friday. The Jazz are shopping for a veteran point to play with No. 3 overall draft pick Deron Williams, and Daniels ? a 30-year-old Bowling Green University product who broke into the NBA with Vancouver (now Memphis) in 1997, played four seasons with San Antonio and one with Portland before spending the past two in Seattle ? would fit the bill. Landing him, however, will be no easy task. Numerous teams are said to be interested in Daniels, who maintains an offseason home in San Antonio. Daniels and his agent reportedly met with officials from Portland, Washington and the Los Angeles Lakers earlier this week. Toronto and Cleveland supposedly are other potential destinations for Daniels, who made himself a free agent by opting out of the $2.2 million third season of his contract with the Sonics. O'Connor declined to comment when asked to characterize the Jazz's chances at signing Daniels, who seems to be one of their top targets ? if not the primary one ? in the NBA's summer market. The key for any team landing Daniels might be the length of contract he is offered.</div> <div align="center">Source </div>
