The Utah Jazz narrowly missed the playoffs this year, with a 40-42 record that left them one game behind the Houston Rockets for the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference. Looking toward the 2016-17 season, here are five players who won’t be back with the Jazz.
5. PG Shelvin Mack

Mack averaged 12.7 points and 5.3 assists per game over 28 games (27 starts) with Utah this season. But a non-guaranteed $2.4 million next season, and Dante Exum's return from a torn ACL, puts Mack in a position to consider other teams this summer.
4. G/F Joe Ingles

Ingles served in a non-descript bench role for the Jazz this season, averaging 4.2 points per game over 81 games. His salary for next season is reasonable ($2.1 million), but a cheaper alternative could be found,
3. C Jeff Withey

Withey started 10 games this season, so he has a chance to return as Ruby Gobert's primary backup. But without guaranteed money for next season, the Jazz could simply look elsewhere for a backup center.
2. SF Chris Johnson

Johnson averaged just 12.2 minutes and 2.9 points per game over 70 games for Utah this season, and his $1.050 million for next season is not guaranteed. He could be back, but it's hard to see the Jazz having much interest.

Booker is set to become a free agent this summer. Despite his reported desire to re-sign with the Jazz, it's safe to say he can find a bigger role with another team.
