Jazz senior vice president of basketball operations Kevin O'Connor is still on vacation, but two players he plans on talking about once he returns are Linton Johnson III and Eric Williams, agent Mark Bartelstein said.

Both are 6-foot-8 forwards with NBA experience. Johnson has played in parts of four seasons and averaged 4.2 points and 3.0 rebounds with the Hornets last season. Williams, 35, is a 12-year veteran who played with Charlotte and San Antonio in 2006-07. The Jazz have 13 players already under contract, with qualifying offers still out to C.J. Miles and Dee Brown. Johnson and Williams are possibilities should O'Connor opt to shake up his roster with a trade in September.

LJIII would be a good acquisition, but I really hope they stay away from Eric Williams. He's just another old, worn out bum that won't contribute anything at all, much like Tom Gugliotta when we picked him up.
