I doubt he opts out of his contract. He's getting paid enough and he's on a contending team, I don't think he'd get paid much more to go somewhere else.

Odds of winning 1st rd series: 60%

Odds of winning 2nd rd series: 50%

Odds of winning Western Conference championship: 30%

Odds of NBA championship: 10% (This is kind of a tricky one - The harder task is getting to the Finals. If we get there I say we have a 50% chance of winning it).

Season record:

55 wins, 4th in the conference

All-star selections:

Two, Boozer and Williams as reserves (Anyone who thinks the Jazz will have 3 all-stars is crazy. I'd love to see it, but unless they win 65 games, it ain't gonna happen).

Odds of a major trade: 20 to 1. If AK states that he wants out, we might have something. The only other trade I can see happening is Fesenko for a 2nd rounder.

PPG projections:

Boozer 21.5
Williams 19.5
Okur 14.0
Kirilenko 12.5
Brewer 13.0

Williams APG 11, second in the NBA behind Paul. Nash's minutes will probably be reduced and his assists dipped a little once Shaq joined the Suns. IMO, he'll average around 10.5 apg.

Sloan retiring at the end of the season: Zero. Sloan will coach this team until he dies.

Next year's roster:

Korver: 40%

I thought he liked it here
he might have hated it when it happened but he is in a pretty good situation right now. He is on a contending team as a sixth man and an absolute fan favorite. Coach seems to like him too.

i say Korver has a pretty good chance of staying here for awhile.

Playoff results:

Odds of NBA championship: 15%

Season record:

59 wins, 2nd in the conference

All-star selections:

Boozer and Williams as reserves

The Jazz will probably make some kind of move involving AK or Boozer in order to clear up cap space and save talent next offseason.

PPG projections:

Boozer 23.5
Williams 19.5
Okur 14.0
Kirilenko 12.5
Brewer 14.5

Williams APG 11.5 second in the NBA behind Paul.

Sloan retiring at the end of the season: If the Jazz win a championship, 99%. If not 5%.
