Jazz send Almond to D-League

Might never see him in a Jazz uni again.

I am really surprised they didn't cut him or trade him.

Yeah, I thought that was the one move we might see before the deadline. Oh well, good luck to him.

Fesenko is down there as well.

I forsee Almond signing with OKC next season and becoming a solid player.

Interesting that they decided to keep Kosta Koufos up with the big team as a rookie while assigning two second-year players to the minors. Is this a sign that Fesenko and Almond are about as good as gone next season?

Fesenko will still be a cheap player for the team, especially for a big. Fes probably needs more work because he is not noted for his work ethic.

Unless something better comes along I don't see why the Jazz wouldn't resign Fesenko. He's been okay in spot minutes this year and actually had some bright spots. The Jazz could probably resign him to a 3 year 3-4 million dollar contract. He's still so young, it's worth keeping him here.
