The Utah Jazz have denied a report they have promised to select D.J. Wilson with the 30th overall pick.

"Did not happen," vice president of player personnel Walt Perrin said. "Did not happen at all. I don’t know where he got that from."

Perrin said it is rare for the Jazz to make a draft promise.

"If we tell a guy we’re going to take him guaranteed, which we don’t do very often if at all, we will follow through on that honor and our word," he said. "It does put you at somewhat of a disadvantage because if someone comes to you with a great trade, you’ve made your commitment to that player, so you can’t trade. … We try to keep our flexibility."

Perrin says the Jazz have never made a promise in his 16 years with the franchise.

While the Utah Jazz are preparing to do everything within their power to re-sign Gordon Hayward this offseason, the free agency of George Hill is a priority that will have limitations.

Dennis Lindsey is adamant in wanting to re-sign Hill, but he acknowledged the Jazz won't be able to match all offers he might receive.

“I told him if he gets a crazy offer somewhere else and we helped him get that offer, ‘you’re not going to get one poor thought, much less a word (from us)’ if he were to go,” Lindsey said. “He helped us.”

Hill had a highly productive first season with the Jazz after coming over from the Indiana Pacers via trade.

The Jazz and Hill were unable to agree upon an extension during the season.

Dennis Lindsey's top priority this offseason is to re-sign Gordon Hayward for the Utah Jazz.

“It goes without saying that every fiber of our collective soul as the Utah Jazz want him back,” Lindsey said. “We think it’s a great fit. You can’t force a marriage, it’s got to be both ways. But we’re very comfortable with where we’re at.”

The Jazz have several advantages in what they can offer Hayward, who will receive max contract offers from multiple teams.

“It’s not like we can legally come to an agreement right now,” Lindsey said.

“What we told him is, he’s us,” Lindsey said. “All that development stuff . . . using our facilities and using (assistant coach) Johnnie Bryant as the lead guy in his development. When Gordon committed last summer, there was a very detailed plan.”

Gordon Hayward has yet to decide if he will opt out of his contract to become a free agent.

"It's hard to think about right now, just because of the season we've had and everything we've gone through," he said at his end-of-season availability. "Today it still feels like you're looking toward the next game, looking toward the next opponent. That's obviously over. But it's hard to shut that off right away."

Hayward has enjoyed his time in Salt Lake City, joining the Utah Jazz in 2010.

"It's been so much fun for me here in Utah. Kind of growing up here, starting a family," he said, adding later: "I have nothing but love for everybody here in Utah."

Hayward is expected to receive interest from the Boston Celtics amongst a number of other teams.

"We certainly want him to continue here. There's certainly a lot of good things happening here," Quin Snyder said.

Steve Kerr will not travel to Salt Lake City with the Golden State Warriors as he continues to battle complications due to his back surgery in 2015.

Mike Brown will coach the Warriors for both Games 3 and 4.

The Warriors are unsure if Kerry will be healthy enough to return to the sidelines during the playoffs. Kerr has been seen by specialists as he deals with severe headaches and nausea. 

Kerr last coached the Warriors in Game 2 of the first round.

George Hill will not play in Game 2 for the Utah Jazz due to a sore big toe.

The Jazz figure to give more minutes to Dante Exum, Shelvin Mack and Raul Neto with Hill out.

Utah trails the Golden State Warriors 0-1.

The Utah Jazz signed Quin Snyder to a long-term contract extension in May of 2016 after narrowly missing the playoffs. 

Snyder and the Jazz returned to the playoffs a season later and defeated the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round.

"I am very grateful for this gesture by the Miller family and the Utah Jazz and appreciative of their belief in me to continue to lead this team," Snyder said in a statement at the time. "(My wife) Amy and I are fortunate to be a part of a franchise and family that cares deeply for our community, stays true to its values and is committed to winning.

"More than anything, it is confirmation of our collective commitment to building a championship team."

According to sources, Snyder's extension in 2016 was for five seasons.

Working as R.C. Buford's assistant general manager with the San Antonio Spurs, Dennis Lindsey turned down GM jobs with other teams before joining the Utah Jazz in 2012.

Lindsey chose the Jazz because the ownership group reminded him of the Holt family, who own the Spurs.

“The credit goes to the Millers,” Lindsey told The Vertical on Sunday night. “If they would’ve set up short-term objectives, I would’ve capitulated to very short-term moves.

“Greg Miller pulled me aside soon after I was hired and told me, ‘We’re operators, not traders. We’re value spaced, so we want to do something that’s fundamentally sound.’ That – and having [consultant and ex-GM] Kevin O’Connor sitting next to me – gave a young executive a sense of calm.”

With the time to build a sustainable winner, Lindsey let Paul Millsap leave in free agency as they developed a young roster built around Gordon Hayward, Rudy Gobert, Derrick Favors and Rodney Hood.
