KOC told Almond the Jazz are looking to move him.

Seems to be an odd move, even though the Jazz are full at the wings. Given Almond's ability to put up big numbers in the D-League, you have to wonder why the Jazz seem to be so eager to give up on him. It sounded like he came to camp in great shape (lowest body-fat on the team) and never had a chance to prove himself in an NBA game really. It'll be interesting to see what his value around the league is.

It'll be interesting to see if they wait to move him as part of a bigger deal, or just ship him out asap.
