If you follow along you know that right now the Utah Jazz roster is at 19 players, and it's October 22nd. By October 31st it has to be down to a maximum of 15. That's a special day though for another reason. It's the last day (Peter or others correct me if I'm wrong) the Jazz have to, as Beyonce said, "put a ring on it". It is, of course, Gordon Hayward. Otherwise he goes on the open market as a RFA at the end of the season. There's something else that needs to be done, though. And that's sign a real point guard. With erstwhile Rookie of the Year point guard Trey Burke out of action for a few weeks, and only John Lucas III on the books, something needs to be done. We've watched our offense sputter in the last two games -- and our big investment (Derrick Favors for $49m) needs a point guard who can feed him. I haven't seen much I like from Scott Machado so far, and a guy like Jamaal Tinsley is still on the market.
So . . . what happens first?
