    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Utah Jazz ? who should learn today if the San Antonio Spurs will match their offer sheet for restricted free-agent guard Devin Brown ? have announced they will hold their preseason training camp at the Taco Bell Arena on the campus of Boise State University in Boise, Idaho, starting Oct. 4.
    The Jazz will hold daily practices in Boise Oct. 4-7, with the workouts closed to both public and media.
    They hope to have the 6-foot-5, 26-year-old shooting guard Brown with them after signing him to a two-year offer sheet last week. The Spurs had seven days to match the Jazz deal, which was reportedly for $2.5 million this season and slightly more for a second year, which would be at the Jazz's option.
    The seven days is up today.
    San Antonio recently signed Dallas free-agent shooting guard Michael Finley and already has Manu Ginobili, Bruce Bowen and Brent Barry who can play at that position, in addition to Brown. The Spurs will be into luxury-tax territory, meaning it could cost them almost twice as much as the Jazz offer to keep Brown, who is a full-time San Antonio resident but was born in Ogden and still has family there.</div>
