Jason Terry

He'll be on Will Hardy's staff after initially interviewing for head coaching job last month. Terry will get another step closer to a head-coaching job with the move from the G League where he was head coach of Grand Rapids. 

Terry is a former NBA champion and Sixth Man of the Year. His vast NBA experience could prove beneficial for a Jazz squad that hasn’t been able to make it past the second round. The Jazz have plenty of other candidates to interview, while Terry is receiving interest as an assistant coach around the league. In the Gold’s first year in the G League, Terry coached both Isaiah Thomas and Nik Stauskas to big performances, while guiding the team to a 22-23 record. 

Terry, who most recently was an assistant coach at Arizona, is poised to take on his first head coaching position. The Gold are the G League affiliate of the Denver Nuggets. Terry, who played 19 seasons in the NBA, originally agreed to remain on the Arizona staff under new head coach Tommy Lloyd. But his decision to ultimately leave Tucson comes as no surprise, and this move gets Terry closer to the NBA.  

Terry presumably favors the former two landing spots for the opportunity to contend for another NBA title, while a reunion with the Mavericks would come more for nostalgic reasons. In any case, it doesn't seem likely that Terry will draw serious interest from any of the three clubs, given that he didn't take part in training camp anywhere and turned 41 years old in September. If this is indeed the end for the veteran guard, he'll wrap up his career with averages of 13.4 points, 3.8 assists and 2.3 rebounds in 29.8 minutes per game across stops in Atlanta, Dallas, Boston, Brooklyn, Houston and Milwaukee over 19 seasons. Terry captured his lone NBA title with the Mavericks during the 2010-11 season.
