1-Give Deron Williams an extension. this is paramont if the Jazz want to continue to compete on this high of level. D-Will is going to be one of the next stars in the league, also a good PG is key to survival in the NBA especially in the west.2-Extend Paul Millsaps contract. nothing huge, we've all seen players like Millsap get these huge extensions or contracts before. Millsap will never be a 20-10 guy, but he could easily be a 10-10 guy off the bench. Keeping him to back up Boozer, or even as a SF would really help this team in the long run.3-Re-sign Dee Brown. He gives the Jazz a change of pace when needed, he seen limited action but in the one game this season he was required to play important minutes he delieved; game one against Golden State.4-Re-sign CJ Miles. He's been decent but he is still young and raw. signing him to a 3-4 year deal at maybe 2-3 million would be best. that way if he doesn't pan out he's still movable.5-Find a seven footer. the Jazz are a small team, so adding some height will be important. a seven footer could be found in the draft, or in free agentcy. there likely wont be any big men of high quality availble in free agentcy so a big white stiff is whats likely to be found.6-Look for someone willing to take AK47 and give back quality talent in return. AK47s days with the Jazz are probably over, he has sucked ass all year long. he did get better as the playoffs went a long but might be because Matt Harpring to worse as the playoffs went along so the Jazz were forced to play AK. AK would be most valuble to a run and gun type team, but trading him to the East would be a must. If there isn't a deal favorable to the Jazz than keep AK.7-Work Ronnie Brewer into a starter. The Jazz must have a good 2 if they are to advance, and Brewer is the best one on the team. 8-Look to move Giricek, Harpring, Collins for anything. these three must go, they don't do anything and if they get into the game together the offense goes no where.

Aaron Gray - Nick Fazekas - and Marc Gasol could be there by the Jazz are on the board.

I don't think that's what Utah needs, they need a big body around the basket. Fazekas is a shooting big, like a Raef LaFrentz kind of guy. I think Aaron Gray would fit nicely in Utah, but a lot of very solid 2-guards will be available at 24-25 (whichever Utah has), so we'll see.

You guys dominate the inside, with or without a seven footer. Sure Duncan can have his way with you, but he can have his way with anybody.
Stay away from Fazekas! If you remember Kris Humphries...<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>7-Work Ronnie Brewer into a starter.

He looked fairly good in Summer League play, did he get injured?
I don't think he's injuried...he was really into the main rotation early in the season and as well as near the end of the season but im sure he didn't see much playoff action because he's only a rookie. They defently need to get him playing heaps next season, he can be more than a decent player in the near future for sure and will be a plus for the jazz.
Brewer struggled shooting at times and sometimes it seemed he wasn't mentally prepaired. I think if the Jazz can get Brewer just mentally ready, which should come now that he's had a year, than he'll vastly improve.The Jazz don't need a 7 footer for rebound purposes, they need one for defensive purposes. the Jazz let up a lot of points in the paint this year. I don't think they need a scorer at all as a seven footer, they basically need a seven foot shot blocking version of Jarron Collins.
