    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">No official offer sheet was expected to come out of this first meeting, said Utah Jazz senior vice president Kevin O'Connor, but Salt Lake-born San Antonio Spurs restricted free agent Devin Brown did visit with the Jazz Tuesday in Salt Lake City.
    The 6-foot-5, 26-year-old shooting guard, whose play was limited late in the season and in the playoffs by a herniated disk in his back, was making a bit of a get-to-know-you visit to the Jazz Tuesday morning.
    "We're doing a little bit of homework on some free agents, and we haven't quit," said O'Connor. "There's nothing imminent. We're having a talk. He's a restricted free agent."
    Added O'Connor: "We'll discuss what our business will be (with him Tuesday). We'll just sit down and visit, show him what the Jazz are and what they're not and see where his interest is and where our interest is.
    "Fact-finding," O'Connor termed it.
    O'Connor had said Monday that the Jazz and other teams would likely wait until Aug. 15 to do much regarding free agents because that's the deadline for teams to take advantage of the NBA's new one-time "amnesty" rule that allows them to waive one costly player. That player's salary would still count against the team, but the amnesty rule keeps it from affecting the luxury tax, so some well-known players have been or will be made free agents.</div>

    I think it would be a bad idea if they traded Boozer, but I think down the line half-way into the season it sould be a good idea to get rid of Harpring. Harpring is getting old and his knees are almost shot.

    Dont get me wrong, I love harpring as a player he is just getting to old, it would be wise to get rid of him while he is still worth something in value.

    Devin Brown would be a solid pick-up for the Jazz. Coming from the Greg Popovich school of basketball, you know Brown is fundamentally sound and unselfish. Devin Brown is not going to be a superstar, but he doesn't do anything to hurt your team. He can hit the mid-range jumper, drain the open 3ball, and plays heads up defense. He's not good at creating his own offense, but the Jazz have Deron Williams to get him open looks and get him the ball where he likes it. Jerry Sloan would enjoy coaching Brown, and Brown could play valuable backup minutes at SG/SF for the Jazz. He's been under the radar so far this summer, so the Jazz might be able to get him for a fair price.

    Good points Shape, I would really like Brown on our team. I think he could possibly be our starting SG, that is if we can get him.

    Shape put up some good points about Devin. I would really like to see him sign with the Jazz. It doesn't look like we are going to get any big name free agents, but Devin Brown would be a good pick up that would help the team more than hurt.

    Devin Brown would be a good addition for the Jazz. He would add more depth for Utah at Shooting Guard which would help a lot, and is a realistic target that would make a positive impact on the Jazz if he was to play for them.
