From April 20, 2002

Seven of Utah's 14 players under contract this season are free agents this summer, which translates into lots of change for this traditionally static club. That could actually be a good thing for the Jazz, who, after their worst season in 16 years, are in need of a bit of an overhaul.

In a perfect world, the Jazz would be able to unload overpriced, underachieving center Greg Ostertag. The reality, of course, is another story. The Jazz have shopped Ostertag around in the last season or two, with no takers. But if packaged with small forward Donyell Marshall, who is inconsistent and injury-prone but has still some market value, the Jazz might be able to free up some salary space while adding some middle of the road talent.
