Describing contract talks as being "in a little bit of a holding pattern," agent Billy Ceisler said Wednesday that C.J. Miles still sees his future being with the Jazz.
It has been 53 days and counting, though, without a deal since Miles hit the free-agent market. The Jazz now have 13 players under contract for next season; Miles has had a qualifying offer on the table since June 29 that he hasn't signed.
The Jazz have the right to match any offer Miles, a restricted free agent, were to sign with another team. And Ceisler said the lack of a deal was not an indication of a lack of interest in the 20-year-old guard around the NBA.
"I think the restricted title is exactly what it is," Ceisler said, adding, "We get calls on a regular basis from other teams wanting to know what's happening with him."
