With Peja Stojakovic finding a new home in New Orleans, the Jazz may make a play for Hornet free agent Rasual Butler, the Deseret News is reporting.

The Jazz apparently would consider making an offer to 27-year-old Butler but only if they can't re-sign their own free-agent swingman, 30-year-old veteran Matt Harpring.  Another possibility is Laker Deavan George, whose Laker days appear to have come to an end.

Harpring, meanwhile, continues to pursue a long-term contract and establish his open-market value.

Potential interest in Harpring from both the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Clippers could have dried up after the Lakers got forward Vladimir Radmanovic to agree Saturday to leave the Clippers and the Clippers responded by luring forward Tim Thomas from Phoenix.

But it's possible now that Indiana will show interest in Harpring. Phoenix, another potential suitor, could also use money saved by Thomas' departure to pursue Harpring.
