<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Jazz are a team built on a cornerstone of a few basic, unchanging concepts: Pick-and-roll. Layups first. Tuck in your jersey. But one of the franchise's most inflexible rules has been changed, or at least loosened, by owner Larry Miller. If the right player or trade becomes available, Miller has decided, he is willing to pay the NBA's luxury tax on excessive payrolls. "I told Kevin [O'Connor] and Denny [Haslam] that the first, primary consideration right now is the quality of the team on the basketball floor," Miller said of a recent meeting with O'Connor, the senior vice president in charge of player acquisition and Haslam, the team president. "Meaning, money is not as important right now as it has been in the past." </div> <div align="center">Source </div>
