Utah was where Raul Neto wanted to be. Utah is where his teammates wanted him to stay. Utah is where he’ll be for the next two years, at least. Neto re-signed with the Utah Jazz on a two-year, $4.4 million dollar deal this summer.
Neto could have pursued a bigger role elsewhere, which says a lot about the camaraderie of this Utah Jazz team. Heck, even Tony Parker wasn’t willing to stay with the San Antonio Spurs after nearly two decades with the team.
Parker chose to join the Charlotte Hornets, a place where he’ll play more minutes than he would have in San Antonio.
