Jazz owner Larry Miller was recently asked about the particulars of signing Deron Williams to an extension next summer.
   
Not only would the Jazz be willing to extend Williams a maximum offer of five years and nearly $80 million, but Miller said in an interview the team would be able to do so without exceeding the luxury-tax threshold.
   
"If he keeps making the kind of progress he's making, I couldn't look him in the eye and tell him it was fair that he wasn't a max player," Miller said. "He's not that good yet, but he's got a long ways down the road to getting there."
