C.J. Miles Hopes Jazz Pick Up Team Option

Jazz guard C.J. Miles is not thinking about the money. Nor is he contemplating his future home, high expectations or the uncertainty of 2011-12.

But Miles definitely knows one thing: If he has it his way, he will still be wearing a Utah uniform next season.

“I would love to stay here,” said Miles, prior to Utah’s game Wednesday night against New Orleans

The Jazz hold a team option worth $3.7 million for Miles next year. The sixth-year, straight-out-of-high-school forward has played his entire career with Utah. He was signed to a four-year deal in 2008, after the Jazz matched a restricted free-agent offer sheet tendered by Oklahoma City.

Miles said that he has grown up with long-time teammates Deron Williams, Ronnie Price and Paul Millsap, among others.

“These are basically my big brothers,” Miles said. “They taught me everything.

There was a Lakers fan with a really crappy seat at Staples Center. Looking around, he spotted an empty seat at half-court. Thinking to himself "what a waste", he made his way down to the empty seat.

When he arrived at the seat, he asked the man sitting next to it, "Is this seat taken?" The man replied, "This was my wife's seat. She passed away. She was a big Lakers fan." The other man replied, "I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. May I ask why you didn't give the ticket to a friend or a relative?"

The man replied, "They're all at the funeral."


There were 3 basketball players, one each from IU, Notre Dame, and Purdue, standing on a burning roof in Indianapolis. The fire department came with a blanket and yelled to the Notre Dame player to jump. He jumped and they moved it to the right. He hit the sidewalk with a splat.
