Dee Brown may end up elsewhere
Brown, a restricted free agent who did not sign a qualifying offer from the Jazz because he wanted it guaranteed, addressed the question of his own future on his Web site over the weekend.
"Now with this qualifying offer on the table along with two point guards signed (including Jason Hart, signed a few weeks ago), I have to look around the league and find a team that is interested in me, a solid point guard," Brown wrote. "My agent will definitely see what's out there for me, now that Utah made it clear that they want to move in a different direction. I really feel like the Jazz organization is looking for something else and going in a different direction as far as the guard position goes."
Brown also said he had hoped to return to Utah — the Jazz haven't publicly ruled it out yet — and thought he'd played well in the Rocky Mountain Revue.
"I felt like Utah was the perfect fit for me because it's a city that has great fans, great tradition and teammates and fans that love me,
"I just wanted to reach out to the fans and let everyone know your boy wanted to stay with D-Will (his Illinois teammate), C-Booze (Carlos Boozer), Memo (Mehmet Okur), Ron Ron (Ronnie Brewer), P-Mill (Paul Millsap), but things happen and changes are made. I love Utah, and for me to be even thinking about moving or going to another city it's crazy for me right now.
Last week, Brown was out doing Junior Jazz clinics in Pocatello and elsewhere in the Mountain West, and he takes the high road about the Jazz and thanks fans in a long blog entry at www.deebrown11.com/blog.
