Guard Milt Palacio, a free agent after playing with Utah last season, is still a Jazz possibility for 2006-07, senior VP of basketball operations Kevin O'Connor said.

News reports last week said New Jersey was also somewhat interested in him as a contingency plan if the Nets couldn't sign Eddie House, but they got House on Friday.

A report in the Italian Web magazine Basketground.it said the team Virtus Bologna wanted to sign Palacio, and if it couldn't, it would pursue Travis Best.
