Terry, a 6-2 guard who averaged 17.2 points and 7.4 assists in his fourth e Continued from Cl season with the Hawks, has received an offer from the Jazz, his agent said Tuesday, though the two sides are not Maggette, who averaged 16.8 points in ready to formalize things, and start Atlanta’s 15-day clock to match, by signingan offer sheetyet. Agent Raymond Brothers did not return phone calis Tuesday, but told 64 games for L.A. last season. Baylor still has a day to decide whether to match Denver's long-term offer to point guard Andre Miller; the Clippers havealready done so with a sixyear, $82 million contract for forward the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that “the [Jazz's] offer is still there.” Terry, disappointed that Atlanta has not made a long-term offer, “has Elton Brand. The Jazz, with $21 million to spend under the salary cap and a dwindling supply of free agents to lavish it on, can only wish they had those sort of not decided to sign with Utah,” said Brothers, whoa day earlier suggested that Terry could sign an offer sheet with the Jazz this week. “He is decisions to make.

The Jazz play four home games in the season's first 11 days, and while six of their first 10 games are on the road, that’s an easier early schedule than last year’s eight-of-11 pileup of road games in November. The Jazz will also embark on a four-game trip in February and a fivegame trip in March. But the imDanny Cian LA/TheSaltLake Tribune Salt Lake's Chone Figgins laced triple in the fifth inning and pact of February's tough nine-game stretch (that includes seven on the road)is softened by the All-Star Break. The Jazz will play on back-to-back nights 18 times, one fewer than last year. pmiller@sltrib.com weighing all his options.” Presumably, the holdup is the Hawks’ pending sale to Texas auto dealer David McDavid, and Terry’s uncertainty about Atlanta’s commitmentto building a winning team.

With eight players under contract for roughly $23 million, O’Connorhas nine weeks to add atleast four players and $11 million in salary to reach the league’s mini- mums. He has pursued players who would have formed a decent starting lineup — Maggette, Brand, Miller, Gilbert Arenas and Brad Miller — but so far has nothing to showforit. pmiller@sltrib.com ers, Tuesday night was another missed opportunity.
