    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Deseret News - According to Tuesday's Dallas Morning News, Keith Van Horn "is mulling his options, including retirement," and "may wait until the season begins (to) see if the right playing opportunity comes along." Utah did not give serious consideration to inviting Van Horn to their camp, but they could consider him should one of their heavy-minute forwards suffers a long-term injury.</div>Apparently if they do sign him, I would like to see him play more than he did with the mavs, probaly move AK47 to the PF position, keith at SF and trading boozer.

    That would be a good move on his part, I think he would fit in very well there, they would definately have a great starting five. Van Horn can still play, he averaged 9 and 4 coming off the bench last season for the mavs, and his outside shot is always deadly. I'm sure the Utah fans would enjoy havin a Utah Utes alum playin for the jazz.

    This is a couple weeks old, and so far his stance yet changed. Training camp has started and I'm thinking he'll retire more then return. But if he does return, Jazz definately have the best shot as it's close to home and Van Horn has stated he rather play close to home or retire. Don't agree with them benching Boozer in favor of Van Horn. Van Horn is a bench player now that give situational minutes for the Jazz. He's not a starter anymore.

Maybe Van Horn gets his confidence back but he was very shaky in last years playoffs.

    if the Jazz did bring in KVH he would be a backup to AK47, and the Jazz would than likely move Harpring to SG.

I'm curious on why Denver didnt fight for a shooter this offseason. KVH could have solved their problems. Maybe Make Kmart start. And If Camby is injured Nene start but if he isnt injured then Make Nen backup and KVH backup 3 then Evans coming as the 3rd dtring or when they are in need of defenseGood pick up though. They have 2 useful Fowards that are most likely to miss some games so KVH would solve their problems with him starting with Okur when Boozer is injured.

He didn't solve our problem with the outside shot so I don't see how he would be that great for Denver. Van Horn would just be a backup for depth purposes and not much more for Denver.
