Talks have ended and no contract extension is expected on Utah guard Ronnie Brewer by Monday's deadline, his agent told FanHouse on Friday."Kevin (O'Connor, Utah's general manager) and I have talked, but we have a different point of view (on contract figures),'' said agent Henry Thomas.
Barring the unexpected, Thomas said no more talks are expected to take place by Monday's deadline of players from the 2006 first round able to sign extensions that will kick in for the 2010-11 season. Thomas said the final talks with O'Connor were Friday.
That puts Brewer, taken with the No. 14 pick in 2006, in line to become a restricted free agent next summer. But Thomas said Jazz officials have interest in re-signing Brewer.
"Without question,'' Thomas said. "Kevin made that clear.''
Only four players from the 2006 first round have signed extensions so far -- Toronto's Andrea Bargnani, LaMarcus Aldridge and Brandon Roy of Portland and Thabo Sefolosha of Oklahoma City. Only two others -- Memphis' Rudy Gay and Boston's Rajon Rondo -- are apparently still in negotiations.
