<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Jazz have decided to allow Rafael Araujo to become a free agent in July, rather than guarantee the center $3 million for next season, the team confirmed Monday afternoon. Deron Williams isn't going anywhere, though. Utah exercised its option for the third season of Williams' rookie contract, at a salary of $4,010,640, on Monday, but the team declined the fourth season of Araujo's deal for $3 million, making him an unrestricted free agent at season's end. "We will evaluate him this season, and can offer him a contract next summer," said Jazz senior vice president of basketball operations Kevin O'Connor, who delivered the team's decision in person after Monday morning's practice. "He's worked awfully hard." </div> <div align="center">Link</div>
