    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>If nothing else, the longest summer of C.J. Miles' life at least will be over by this time next week. The 20-year-old guard will be in training camp with the Jazz after three months in which restricted free agency more than lived up to its name.
    Overshadowed by the Andrei Kirilenko controversy, Miles still hasn't officially re-signed with the Jazz. His agent and Kevin O'Connor, the Jazz's senior vice president of basketball operations, were still "grinding it out," as Miles described it Monday.
    He was back in town for Deron Williams' charity golf tournament and, in the best evidence of his future, doesn't have a plane ticket to leave. Just being able to joke around with teammates was a welcome diversion after a summer of uncertainty.
    "It was tough on him this summer,'' Williams said. "I know it's been a tough summer, still a tough summer on him because he's not official yet."
    Miles has had a one-year qualifying offer for $945,610 on the table since the end of June. It might be the best he can do if the two sides can't reach agreement on a multiyear deal before the start of camp next week.</div></p>
